hit Andrew Luck in the head as he was tackled Elite Mark Andrews Jersey , drawing an ejection.End Carlos Dunlap went for Luck's legs and got a penalty for roughing the passer. He was flagged again when he landed hard on the quarterback after taking him down.The Bengals' defense spent a lot of time self-destructing before holding on for a 34-23 win at Indianapolis in their opener. Fixing the egregious penalties is at the top of their list as they get ready to host Baltimore (1-0) on Thursday night."You're just trying to do your job, get after the quarterback," Williams said, referring to the penalties on him and Dunlap. "Like me, he has to find a way to do what's within the rules."The Bengals (1-0) hired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin in the offseason after Paul Guenther left for the Raiders. Austin has emphasized getting turnovers, and the defense won the game with one.Luck was trying to lead the Colts to a winning touchdown when safety Clayton Fejedelem stripped tight end Jack Doyle of the ball near the Cincinnati 15-yard line and returned the fumble for a touchdown with 24 seconds left.The defense had a few glaring shortcomings.

They had to settle for a field goal.Dunlap's first roughing-the-passer penalty with 27 seconds left in the first half moved the Colts in range for another field goal.

I know he's going to try and get the first down and my job is to stop him."Dunlap's first penalty was for going after Luck's legs, which also is a point of emphasis in protecting quarterbacks. The second one violated a new rule that says defenders can't land on the quarterback with their full weight as they tackle them.Dunlap landed on top of Luck and caused a fumble that the Bengals recovered, but it was negated by the penalty."Yeah, I was upset," Dunlap said. "I mean Game Mark Andrews Jersey , I tried to do the next-best thing and keep all my weight from taking him to the ground.

Last year, the Bengals dropped their first three games. BALTIMORE (AP) — Combining instinct and tireless film study with an unyielding urge to be a difference maker, Ed Reed established himself as one of the greatest safeties in NFL history.What he did with a football after plucking it from the air set him apart from anyone who ever played the game.Reed made 64 interceptions over a stellar 12-year career. He owns an NFL-record 1,590 yards in interception returns, including the two longest runbacks: 107 yards against the Eagles in 2008, 106 yards versus the Browns in 2004. Reed considered every pass thrown in his direction to be his property. And when he got hold of it Mark Andrews Womens Jersey , his lone objective was to take it to house.“My philosophy was simple. I was trying to score when I got the football in my hand. There was no question about that,” Reed said. “When I caught the interception, I knew there weren’t too many defenders on (the opposing) offense.”Selected to the Pro Bowl nine times and voted NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2004, Reed will become the 15th safety inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Whether he’s the best of all time at his position is a matter of opinion — unless you’re asking Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, whom Reed helped win a Super Bowl.“It would be hard to argue that he’s not the greatest safety in the history of football, right?” Harbaugh said. “He’s one of the top 10 players maybe in the history of the game.”Yes, his coach is expected to say something like that. But Reed, who gained entry into the hall on the first ballot, also drew that kind of praise from his opponents.“He just does things that nobody else at that position does, or I don’t know if they’ve ever done it,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said.When Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger dropped back to throw, his first priority was to determine where Reed was on the field. Then he’d find out that it didn’t matter because Reed was going to meet up with the football anyway.“You see the safeties out in the middle of the field and have a wide open throw on the right. The next thing you know he’s intercepting it,” Roethlisberger said. “Where did he come from? That’s what made him such a challenge. He made the impossible possible.”Reed played football Youth Mark Andrews Jersey , baseball and basketball while growing up in Louisiana. He idolized Michael Jordan, and patterned his play in each sport after a player known for excelling in the clutch.“I always loved how when the game was on the line, he wanted the ball,” Reed said. “That was something I could say was in me for a long time. When it was time to do something, I wanted to be that guy. A lot of that came because of watching those Chicago Bulls, man.”A defensive player with the mindset of an offensive star, Reed scored 14 touchdowns during his career (including playoffs) and became the first player to score return touchdowns off a punt, blocked punt, interception and fumble recovery.“Ed was among the smartest and most remarkable, clutch playmakers in NFL history,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said. “You never felt the game was out of reach when No. 20 was on the field.”Reed starred at Miami before taking his talent to the Ravens as the 24th overall pick in the 2002 draft. After learning the fine art of studying game film under a coaching staff that included Chuck Pagano, Mark Stoops and Greg Schiano, Reed honed the craft with Baltimore.“We had a great staff in college Mark Andrews Men Jersey , so after I got to the league, I’d already seen stuff I knew,” Reed said. “Then it was enhanced, playing the game with great guys like Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, Chris McAlister.”Asked whether his knack for tracking down the football could be attributed most to film study or instinct, Reed replied, “I guess you could go 50-50.I studied a lot of tape, but I can’t say a lot of things weren’t instinctive.”It was one heck of a combination.“Ed Reed is the smartest player I’ve ever coached,” former Ravens coach Brian Billick said. “His natural intuition and preparation for the game exceeds anything I’ve ever been around. He was a truly unique and impactful player in the history of the NFL. No player had better range.”Former Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan added: “Ed studied as much as anybody I’ve ever been around. His instincts were amazing, and he was able to react because of the film study. That’s probably the most underrated thing about Ed — his amazing preparation.”The Ravens, born after the franchise left Cleveland for Baltimore in 1996, now they have three members in the Hall of Fame: Reed Color Rush Mark Andrews Jersey , offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden and Lewis.“Ed is one of the best teammates I’ve ever had, and he is my brother for life,” Lewis said. “His talents, work ethic and leadership are unmatched.”To no surprise his biggest thrill was helping the Ravens win the Super Bowl in New Orleans in February 2013, 34-31 over San Francisco, in Lewis’ final game.“To actually play the Super Bowl in my backyard, that was it right there. It doesn’t get any better than that,” Reed said. “We walked off the field as champions.”Although Reed played his final season with Houston and the New York Jets, he retired as a member of the Ravens. Through it all, he thrilled the crowds and had a blast doing it.“The football fans loved the way I played the game. I just tried to be the best for our team to win,” Reed said. “It was about having fun and doing it together. It’s a kid’s game we play. Nothing more than that.”
