QB Fiedler was average. He did throw 2 TDs but he also threw an INT in the Bengals' endzone. He had a few catches and got his WRs involved. C+
RB Lamar Smith was OK and finished with over 60 yards on 12 carries. He had a nice 18 yard TD. Denson was OK running for 32 yards on 8 carries. Fiedler had a 30 yard run. They should
have played better. It's the Bengals, let's get real... C
WR The WRs or what's left of them played well. They had a few nice catches. Gadsden had 73 yards on 6 catches with 2 TDs. Ogden had his first catch and Shepherd caught a few balls. C+
OL The Dolphins played OK on that front but seeing the way they played in the first half and the fact that they played a 'college' team in Cincinnati they could have done better. C+
DL At times they played very bad. Bowens was great but the others were not. Taylor eventually saved the game with his sack-fumble-recovery-TD play but with that performance against Buffalo and it could turn ugly next week. D+
LB They really missed Zach. Gaylon that started in his place wasn't very good. They gave up too many plays to the Bengals, the Bengals ! D+
Secondary They were OK. They gave Warrick his first TD in the NFL but other than that OK. They went the entire game without an INT against a young and inexperienced QB. C-
Special teams Matt Turk kicked a 70 yard punt his average was over 60. He was brilliant. Mare connected on his one attempt and the return team have nothing to write home about. C+
Coaching The team wasn't prepared. They managed to win but they wouldn't have if they were playing any other team. They won on the road and that's what counts but the schedule is getting brutal from now on. D
