See how he’s stepping up into the pocket rather than running around?” Atkins explains. “We have to help out the ends by pushing the pocket to get five yards into the backfield. If I can get into the guard and center, he has no room to step up and make that touchdown throw. We have to make sure he can’t step into his throws. … If we can push the pocket to where he can’t step into his throws, or he has to alter his throws, I like our chances.

Good stuff as always from Bedard. I’d certainly like another crack at the Bengals.
