Film Room: Luke Kuechly will be a true challenge to the Bengals run game The Bengals will face two major challenges when they are looking to run the ball in their Week 3 matchup against the Panthers. The first is the loss of Joe Mixon http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-jefferson-jersey , who has been a workhorse for the team thus far. The second is Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly who is the prototype of a modern NFL linebacker.This clip from the Panthers’ Week 1 game against the Cowboys tell you everything you need to know about Kuechly. Despite initially filling on the run action to the right, he is able to run down the screen all the way to the left. This demonstrates his ridiculous athletic ability. The Bengals will not be able to just run away from him or try to manipulate him with misdirection. He can run sideline to sideline and is never out of a play.Because Kuechly is such an aggressive player, run/pass options (RPOs) can be effective against him, but his athleticism limits how effective they can be. Case and point: In the clip below, he bites hard on the run action which opens up the passing lane for the slant, but he reacts quickly and turns and runs to make the tackle.RPOs could be an effective way for the Bengals attack Kuechly. Getting him to fill and chase multiple times cause him to hesitate on other run plays. Getting the ball in the hands of a wide receiver like John Ross who can accelerate fast enough to get away before Kuechly arrives could bring about some big plays.When a run play is going wide Carlos Dunlap Jersey , most linebackers will scrape over the top of the defensive line. Kuechly can do the same with great success, but with his athlete ability he can also shoot an open gap in order to make the tackle behind the line of scrimmage. Here, he shoots the gap and shows great speed running Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott down before he can get to the edge. The Bengals will have a hard time getting to the edge against Kuechly which will make it hard for them to run the toss play that has become a staple of their offense in 2018.This play from the Panthers’ Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons is a similar situation, but on a tighter counter play. Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews releases inside to block Kuechly who is the backside linebacker. Matthews is likely expecting Kuechly to scrape over the top of him as the cutback player in the defense, but instead Kuechly shoots inside of the blocker and makes the tackle for a short gain. The Bengals offensive line has issues, and Kuechly will be a major test for the unit in the run game.Cowboys right tackle La’el Collins is able to get up to Kuechly and make a good block on this zone read. This opens up the cutback lane for Elliott. This may be a good way for the Bengals to create cutback opportunities for Giovani Bernard as Kuechly often anticipates cutbacks on zone plays where a blocker swipes across the formation. The Bengals face a tough task trying do anything offensively with Kuechly across the line of scrimmage. Kuechly can and will be around the ball on just about every play and will make it extremely difficult for the team to run the toss play. They must figure out how to make sure he is blocked on every play keep him from making plays in pursuit from the back side. The Bills signed and drafted a lot of offensive linemen this offseason.Former Bengals tackle Jake Fisher wasn’t one of them.The former second-round pick is making the transition to tight end this year Womens Bobby Hart Jersey , and is excited about the chance to jump-start his career.“I think it comes down to being happy every day, what you’re passionate about,” Fisher told the team’s website, via the . “If you’re not doing that, change it up. For me, I’m passionate about tight end. I’m passionate about blocking Womens Sam Hubbard Jersey , contributing any way I can for the team. . . . It’s about setting your mind on something and betting on yourself.”After four years as a backup with the Bengals, Fisher could have signed on as a backup elsewhere. But he decided to go back to his roots, when he started as a tight end in high school before becoming a lineman at Oregon.The biggest change is a physical one for Fisher, who played at over 300 pounds in recent years, and is now down to 268.“For someone that’s not naturally 320 to 340 playing offensive tackle, it took a lot of work to get to 315 Tyler Eifert Jersey White ,” he said. “So a lot of that excess weight just was breaking down my body later in the season, not allowing me to be the best form of me. . . .“I would say that’s my natural weight. I think I want to be in the low 260s, see how I feel, see how I can block, and go from there.”He’s going to have to prove he can catch a pass occasionally, or else he’ll serve as a clear signal to defenses to what the Bills intend to do when he’s on the field Clint Boling Jersey White , but Fisher seems motivated to make the switch work.
