This week we play Division Rival the Baltimore Ravens. We trade questions with the Ravens blog EbonyBird.com. I answered 4 of their questions also, check out their site http://www.ebonybird.com
What Scares You About the Bengals?
The thing that scares me about the Bengals is no particular player, but the team mentality they have been playing with this season. They seem more tenacious and more pumped up than ever. It's a scary thought about a team that is usually thought of as an automatic win for the Ravens each matchup.
What Match-Up Makes You Feel Confident in the Ravens?
The Ravens rushing game, offensively and defensively, has been dominant. Their two-headed monster of Ray Rice and Willis McGahee is one of the best in the NFL, and their rush defense has continued their dominance this season.
Best Current Ravens Player most Bengal Fans have Never Heard Of?
I would say Jared Gaither, the starting left tackle, but after he was taken off the field in a stretcher last week, he might not be a good answer. I'll stay on the offensive line and say offensive guard Ben Grubbs. The 2007 first-round pick has been a key part of the line's unexpected dominance this year and he has been dominating defensive linemen to help the running game along thus far. He is almost never called for penalties, and is a physical freak.
Who Wins the Game and What's the Score?
I think that this game will be really good. The Bengals are playing better than they ever have in the last few years, and the Ravens are playing for redemption after last week's performance and with heavy hearts as former teammate Tony Fein died this week. I have to say the Ravens in a close one, 28-27.
If there was a steel cage match instead of a football game featuring one current player, who do you nominate?
In a steel cage match? I would have to call on Terrell Suggs. If Bart Scott were still in Baltimore, he would be the obvious choice, but T-Sizzle hits hard and usually doesn't care who he hurts. With that said, I would love to see fullback Le'Ron McClain in a steel cage match too. Are tag teams allowed?
