Just watching the Monday Night Football crew feign interest in the Bengals-Falcons game and noticing a few things...
1) Jon Gruden cannot commentate. Already he's said things like "You have to hope your nickel corner can play corner," obsessively droned on about Falcons OC Dirk Koetter, and introduced officiating consultant Gerry Austin by saying that he "came all the way from...(10 second pause)...North Carolina."
2) The Bengals seem fine at backup QB... Journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson, himself a one-time draftee of Jon Gruden's Buccaneers, already has accumulated both a passing touchdown to wideout Brandon Tate and an impressive 42-yard run. He's been unable to stick in the league, but with Andy Dalton's history of minor injuries, he might be in for some playing time.
3) ...the Falcons, not so much. I don't think Atlanta should be too confident in Dominique Davis, their apparent #2 quarterback. While he did throw a touchdown, he was also intercepted by Bengals cornerback Brandon Ghee and posted a subpar completion percentage. None of Atlanta's backups have a snap of NFL experience.
