Which ass did the most damage to the Bengals?
Two rhetorical zen questions for the day. The first one: which ass did the most damage to the Bengals? The second question is below the fold.

Antwon Blake makes some plays
Much maligned Antwon Blake is burned often but sometimes does make some plays. In Sunday’s game against the Bengals he was solid on back to back plays on the Bengals’ opening drive. In the first he makes an open field tackle to stop a long run. He did get bulldozed a bit, but still made the tackle, notable for someone who allegedly can’t tackle. In the next play he tracks the receiver on a deep route to the end zone – even turning to look for the ball – and prevents a catch.

Helmet to Helmet Hit?
Diminutive Andrew Hawkins unfortunately got his clock cleaned in a block by Jarvis Jones as Hawkins was moving to tackle Mike Mitchell following his interception of a Johnny Manziel pass. It has been suggested that the hit was an illegal helmet to helmet hit by Jones but that is difficult to confirm from game film. In the first image below, Jones is heading toward Hawkins to make the block. In the second image, Hawkins has reacted by bending down and attempting to dodge the hit. His helmet is below Jones’ head. In image 3 Jones appears to strike Hawkins’ head with his arm as his momentum carries him up and over the sinking Hawkins as seen in image 4. Hopefully Hawkins is alright but this does not appear to be an illegal or unfair hit as opposed to the expected result when a 6’4″ linebacker hits a 5’7″ receiver at full speed, as one and a half seasons of Dri Archer can attest.

One Giant Leap for Steel Kind
Even when he whiffs, Troy makes the opposition think, always goes all out, and entertains us.
I’m sorry, but this just cracks me up and I need to post it again, this time as an animated GIF courtesy of Steelers Depot. In the not too distant future, Troy will be a fond and fading memory, and we need to enjoy this lunatic while we still can.
