It was a tough ask for Ryan Finley to keep up with the most exciting offense in the NFL in his first career start Geno Atkins Jersey Limited , but that’s what the Bengals needed from the 24-year old rookie quarterback. While Lamar Jackson was solidifying his MVP case, Finley gave the Bengals a few promising plays in a performance that mainly mirrored what the offense got from Andy Dalton all season long. The numbers weren’t great. Finley finished with 167 yards on 16/30 attempts with a touchdown, interception and lost fumble. The Ravens scored on both of those turnovers. Looking at them on a per-play basis, Finley generated an Expected Points Added per Play of -0.6 and an Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt of 3.91. The individual moments that stand out paint a picture filled with contrasts. Finley’s 16-yard scramble at the end of the first quarter got the offense in range to get their first points of the game. His movement ability in general was a bright spot. Like a young Russell Wilson, Finley was able to buy time on multiple occasions with a backwards spin and keep plays alive with his legs and keeping his eyes down the field. In the pocket, Finley’s subtle ability to adjust off of his first hitch and create a more optimal throwing lane showed up in his longest completion of the day. And the touch on his touchdown toss to Tyler Eifert validates that strength of his coming out of college.But that’s about where the praise stops. That touchdown wasn’t the first of the game involving Finley. When targeting Alex Erickson on a five-yard out from the far hash, Finley’s pass ended up in the hands of Marcus Peters, who proceeded to run 89 yards for a pick-six. Not only did the ball take an eternity to get to Erickson Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , Finley stared down the throw the whole way, two things that has always plagued Finley long before he got to Cincinnati.As the game wore on, Finley’s pocket presence started to fade. He took his first sack of the game in the third quarter and fumbled on the way to the ground, allowing Tyus Bowser to scoop it up and run it back 33 yards for the Ravens’ sixth touchdown of the game. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Finley lobbed a pass down the left sideline that fell through the hands of Brandon Carr and should’ve been intercepted.Even with Joe Mixon’s best game of the season, it wasn’t enough to help out Finley. It’s almost as if the running game has nothing to do with the passing game. *stares at the camera*Being double-digit underdogs, nobody expected Finley to lead the Bengals to victory. But if he wants to keep the job as the Bengals’ starting quarterback beyond 2019, he’ll need to put better performances on his résume before the end of the season. And after that LSU-Alabama game from Saturday Jordan Evans Jersey , it may not even matter. The Bengals invest in an Ohio State offensive lineman in back-to-back drafts."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections #BITESIZEFilm RoomRoster Transactions and ContractsOrange & Black InsiderSalary Cap And CBANFL DraftAnalysisBreaking down the Bengals’ selection of Michael JordanNew,12commentsThe Bengals invest in an Ohio State offensive lineman in back-to-back drafts.EDTShareTweetShareShareBreaking down the Bengals’ selection of Michael JordanAaron Doster-USA TODAY SportsThe Bengals traded up not once, but twice in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Both times they sacrificed one of their sixth-round picks. Both times they invested in the future of their offense.With their third fourth-round pick, the Bengals selected Ohio State offensive lineman Michael Jordan. Jordan joins Jonah Williams as the second offensive lineman the Bengals have drafted this weekend and is now entrenched in the Bengals’ latest overhaul at the position group. What Jordan brings to the BengalsSize and athleticism: If anything, Jordan definitely looks the part. Standing at nearly 6-6 and 312 pounds with 34” arms, Jordan tested with great explosion and flexibility at the NFL combine. On tape, that athleticism translates well. He plays with balance in pass protection and explodes off of the ball in run blocking. Combine that with his youth (he turned 21 in January) and Jordan enters the league with immense upside.Tenacity: A cliché perhaps, but Jordan is an angry blocker Preston Brown Jersey , often plowing his assignment to the ground. Some players have the athleticism to mirror and climb to their man but not the strength to drive them out of the gap. Jordan does.Positional versatility: With the Buckeyes, Jordan started at left guard as a true freshman and stayed there for his sophomore season. He then was moved inside to center last year. With his aforementioned size and length, he could also play tackle if needed.Why the Bengals picked JordanFuture stability: The three guards that played for the Bengals last year are all entering contract years in 2019. Left guard Clint Boling has been with the team for eight years but may be entering his last season in Cincinnati. Jordan provides the Bengals a long-term replacement for one of their best players.Competition: Behind Boling and newly-signed John Miller, Jordan joins Christian Westerman and Alex Redmond as the potential backups at the guard position. All three won’t be on the final roster, so this should scare both Westerman and Redmond.Familiarity: Like Sam Hubbard last year, Jordan was a Buckeye that grew up a Bengals fan. Like most of us, he grew up watching the early Marvin Lewis days and had his own favorite players when he was first getting into the game.Jordan wanted to be here, and so did his former teammate Billy Price. Jordan and Price spent two years together starting on the same offensive line. In 2016 Ryan Glasgow Jersey , both manned the guard spots. In 2017, they played next to each other with Price at center. In 2018, when Price was blocking for the Bengals, Jordan followed Price’s footsteps and took over at center.It’s safe to say Price is going to enjoy playing with Jordan once more. Elite name: Only slightly kidding.
