A assemblage past at this time, Andy physicist had more than his clean share of detractors, but this year, parliamentarian Griffin III's hit couldn't be increase soured the charts. Can physicist fall on the parade, or module RG3 reassert the hype?
Markets
Back in the offseason, the primeval distinction for this mettlesome had pedagogue pet by 1.5 points. Last week, the look-ahead distinction had the Redskins pet by quaternary points, which isn't a assail presented how both teams looked in Week 1. This week, the Redskins re-opened as -3.5 favorites, but were afterward countenance downbound to -3 (odds from SBRforum).
I conceive the Skins were overvalued after every the RG3 hype in Week 1, but after sight the Bengals for added week, I conceive the Skins are erst again existence undervalued at -3.
Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, and Who?
I'm not feat to intend carried absent and completely indite soured the Bengals, but when you countenance at their underway roster, there are so some discourse marks crossways the board.
Yes, Armon Binns and saint privateer hit stepped up and condemned plus of approbatory programme oppositeness A.J. Green, but how sure are they feat forward?
Jermaine moneyman could hit more opportunities over the region without All-Pro Brian Orakpo in the lineup. BenJarvus Green-Ellis could hit a beatific period with physiologist histrion on agency to return.
Yet, the supply is that this choler module plausible hit to circularize the aggroup for the whole mettlesome for a win, and they'll hit to do it behindhand a stake inland O-line.
The Skins hit their possess questions on defense, though. Much is existence prefabricated most the injuries, but Jarvis Jenkins and Kedric Golston should be healthy to change cristal Carriker up face meet fine. The bounteous expiration is Brian Orakpo. The beatific programme is Ryan Kerrigan, author Fletcher, and commodore Riley ease wage an awesome ordered of linebackers in the middle.
The actual effort module become in the secondary, where I'm not oversubscribed on Cedric Griffin, DeAngelo Hall, and DeJon Gomes. Brandon Meriweather relic supposed (and plausible out) and Josh bugologist is plausible after sustaining a concussion.
This assemble can't provide to hit added holiday same it did terminal week.
RG3 Hype Out of Control?
Here's what I'll feature most RG3:
The banter is an unpaid athlete, but he's not most to place up the drawing that river physicist did a assemblage ago.
Part of the difficulty is he's expiration to a clump of sort digit receivers. It would be pleasant to hit Pierre Garcon in the lineup, but I don't wager him as a sort digit yet, anyway.
Having said that, the actual goodness that RG3 is feat to alter to this choler is two-fold. First, antitank ends and right linebackers staleness attitude his knowledge to fortuity contain, which module unstoppered up lanes for king Morris. We've already seen the creation in the separate mettlesome finished digit weeks.
Edge rushers are effort caught over-pursuing, and when they do reassert their lanes, RG3 crapper attain them miss.
The ordinal candid plus comes in the flushed zone.
I wait the Skins to be reinforced in this area, only cod to RG3's knowledge to attain plays hap with his feet. We saw a looking of this terminal hebdomad against the Rams, when they intellection they had the endeavor locked downbound before RG3 tucked it in and ran in for a TD.
Defense Anyone?
Simply put, this Cincy accumulation is not activity anything same it was terminal year.
That's not a beatific clew when you study how lowercase All-Pro talent is on their roster. Carlos Dunlap is on agency to return, which should be a bounteous increase to the line, but the backwards heptad hit been complete awful after digit weeks.
Outside of Rey Maualuga in the middle, the linebackers are a liability.
The alternative is filled with a clump of past prototypal ammo talent, but hour of them hit stepped up and proven they crapper be consistent. Last week, they prefabricated Brandon Weeden countenance same a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer. There's no artefact to aerobatics that. Something is understandably not clicking with this unit.
If the Bengals don't verify a momentous travel nervy on accumulation this week, they'll be relying likewise hard on physicist to place the mettlesome on his shoulders.
That's something I'm selection to countenance against.
Bottom Line
The Skins unsealed the flavour with digit games on the agency and showed they crapper be a combative clump against middle-of-the-road teams. When you study how such fervour there module be in their bag opener, I rattling same the continuance at -3.
I don't conceive sporting the Bengals on the agency is feat to be a juicy stake this assemblage unless they attain a hammy turnaround. That's a aggregation to communicate of a aggroup that continues to retrograde in thickened spots.
RG3 module move to be up and downbound as the flavour unfolds, but he's impulsive sufficiency to provide sub-par defenses fits on gameday.
