Bengals challenge Seattle with its blueprint

[Jville]

"While Seattle has been grinding its way to the last two Super Bowls, haven’t the 4-0 Bengals been quietly percolating the same formula as an understudy AFC version of what has transpired in the Great Northwest? The rugged Bengals defense tries to respond against one of the NFL's best this Sunday at sold-out Paul Brown Stadium."

I believe they have drafted their offensive linemen fairly high instead of going our "Frankenline" direction.

 

[Our Man in Chicago]

I'll take them more seriously once they axe the drop shadow.

" Frankenline " direction.

That's good. Descriptive. Accurate.
Good job.

I'll take them more seriously once they axe the drop shadow.

I'll take them more seriously once they actually win a playoff game.

See the thing about the Bengals is, they always choke!

It'll happen again this year!

... cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick has already seen Seattle plenty on the screen. On Monday he said that Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman taught him leverage even though the NFL’s self-described best cornerback in the game has never worked with Kirkpatrick.

“He’s smart, very smart. He taught me leverage. He probably doesn’t know what that means,” Kirkpatrick said. “No, I never worked with him. I just watch him. I study him. I want what he’s got. It’s still competition; it’s the great game of football.”

Kirkpatrick, a first-rounder from 2012, came out a year after Sherman was drafted in the fifth round. He knows the adrenaline is going to be pumping.

“I want to be the best corner on the field. I’m pretty sure every game he wants to be the best corner in that game,” Kirkpatrick said. “When you’re out there playing against the best, quote unquote, it’s going to elevate your game.”

Kirkpatrick puts quotes around it because someone else said Sherman is the best corner in NFL

To them, this is a playoff game.

Interesting.

If they kill in the regular season every year and lose it in the playoffs, seems like we should take them very seriously.

Isn't there a "Seahawks beating blueprint" every week? People are always bringing it up, yet it changes.

Seems like a lot of teams play us like its a playoff game.
Or their Super Bowl !

I believe they have drafted their offensive linemen fairly high instead of going our "Frankenline" direction.

Okung, Unger, Moffitt, and Carpenter were all high picks.

I'm looking more at Cable at this point.

" Frankenline " direction.

That's good. Descriptive. Accurate.
Good job.

I disagree. Frankenline sounds like a monster, something to be feared. That's nothing like what we have.

I also like this a lot. I'd love for this to become a catch phrase for the line and have them embrace it. Hell, Sweezy could be the cover boy. Every home game, our opening theme could go from "WIL---SON, WIL--SON" to the "It's ALIVE ... It's ALIVE" Frankenstein track you all know what I'm referring to and our line could roll out together locked at the elbows ... It could be the bond that they really need to gel together. What a great idea brimsalabim

What do you mean?...........I am scared to death every time I see them on the field.

I was pretty proud of my first Microsoft Paint dropshadow. '96 or thereabouts.

The Bengals are no joke.

Our team needs to play much better than they've shown otherwise this game could get ugly in their favor

Me, too. But I wouldn't hire 1996 me in 2015. :lol:

The shadow itself is not terrible - it's actually a shadow + thick outline and is at least dynamic in a vacuum - but in confluence with all the other elements on the jersey (outlined TV numbers, outlined NOB, color nameplate, secondary/tertiary colored yoke, stripe motif, color block side panels (home + alternate jersey), NFL neck logo, "B" chest logotype, captaincy patch, Nike logo), it's an intense battle for visual hierarchy. To say nothing of the orange spot color.

Added to the mix is the juxtaposition between the representational elements: the curvilinear "tiger striping," the "B" chest logotype font, and the unique rounded number font are in opposition (the NOB meshes with the numerical font well enough).

The easiest thing to fix would be the outline and/or drop shadow, even if it currently serves as the jersey's most visual anchor.
