00:00So, the exciting thing about the Bengals is that Amarius Mims has become, I'm not going to compare him to
00:08Anthony Munoz, that's not who he is, nobody is, so, you know, but Amarius Mims has become that guy that
00:14can block one-on-one, and so when you do that, so, you know, you take him one-on-one,
00:19and you take four guys to block three, or four, depending on what's happening.
00:25The problem is that one-on-one this week is Amarius Mims against T.J. Watt. Now, they will take
00:31T.J. and move him over to the other side a little bit, but it is really, really difficult to
00:37say, I got T.J. Watt all day, and nothing's going to happen.
00:41Now, he did well against them the last time out, but for all the stuff we want to talk about,
00:47Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow and these receivers and all of that, I think that matchup may well decide the
00:55game.
00:55If they can truly leave Mims over there on T.J. Watt and help the rest of it, because Pittsburgh,
01:02they're a blitz-happy team, and man, they're so good at it.
01:08I think they had seven sacks or something against the Browns, and what you see is that in that game,
01:14the first three or four sacks that they had in the game, the guy who actually got the pressure, who
01:19got the initial pressure, didn't get the sack.
01:21It was the next wave that came in and got him, and so it's challenging. It's really challenging to beat
01:28this defense.
01:28So I'm a run or a throw-the-ball guy. They know it. I talk about it all the time.
01:33I love that Joe throws it 45 times.
01:34I was, too. I don't know what happened to me. I caught a disease or something. I don't know what.
01:37But when you describe that, I'm like, okay, well, this is one of those games, AFC North game.
01:42You're going to have to lean on the run some. You take some pressure off the offensive line, so Mims
01:46isn't pass-protecting for 52 snaps and one-on-one.
01:49Is that the case? Do you think Chase Brown and Samaje Piran and getting the run going some is important?
01:55I'm trying not to be a caveman anymore.
01:59The Packers and the Bengals are making me rethink everything that I've ever believed about football in my life.
02:05The one thing that was kind of interesting for me, and Chase Brown's a good player.
02:09I don't want to – but Samaje Piran, at the end of that Atlanta game, came in there and, like,
02:15that four-minute close-the-game kind of stuff.
02:19And, I mean, there's nothing wrong when defenses have to go lighter in the box, as they say,
02:26because you've got to double-team everybody on the Bengals.
02:30You know, it just feels like everybody's got to get double-teamed, but, you know, but especially Jamar and T.
02:37And so you're going to be lighter in here, right?
02:41So if you could put a 240-pound truck and hand them the football back there,
02:47and it really changes things because now you have to decide,
02:52are you willing to let Samaje Piran run the ball through a lighter box in the middle there
03:01and do that to keep the double-teams?
03:04My guess is they will.
03:05So it may well be if they don't run it with a six-man box,
03:12they could end up with five in there and really load up on the back end.
03:17I just don't see any scenario where Pittsburgh lets the Bengals get the ball consistently deep over their heads
03:24the way it was a week ago.
