Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

Open Thread II: Jaguars @ Bengals (Game #9)

Bengals perform their most complete first half, with good pass protection, great wide receiver routes and sustaining drives with third down and short, converting most of them. The Bengals secondary is beating on the Jaguars receivers, while the Bengals defensive line is getting pressure on Garrard.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is quick on his decisions, throwing to his first option on a majority of his passing downs, and pulling the ball down when he sees a running lane. He's completed passes to eight different receivers. Benson picked up towards the two minute warning with a 20-yard run up the middle. The Bengals have two rushing plays of 20 yards or more -- Benson, Fitzpatrick.

Also the Bengals defense held the Jaguars offense below 100 yards total for the half. Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor combined for 31 yards rushing on 10 attempts. Garrard completed only six passes on 12 attempts for 53 yards -- which includes a 16-yard screen pass.

Fitzpatrick: 16/19 for 100 yards passing, two touchdowns and 52 yards rushing on three carries (one draw, two scrambles).

Benson: 10 rushes, 46 yards rushing, one reception for five yards.
Watson: One rush, one yard.

Chad Johnson: four receptions, 26 yards receiving, 2 TDs
T.J. Houshmandzadeh: five receptions, 35 yards receiving.

Garrard: 6/12, 53 yards passing

Jones-Drew: seven rushes, 25 yards rushing, one reception for 16 yards
Taylor: three rushes, six yards rushing.

Lewis: 2 receptions, 11 yards
Jones: 1 reception, 9 yards

As a Team

Total Yards: Bengals (199 yards), Jaguars (86 yards)
Passing Yards: Bengals (100 yards), Jaguars (43 yards)
Rushing Yards: Bengals (99 yards), Jaguars (43 yards)
Third Downs: Bengals (5/7, 71%), Jaguars (3/7, 42%)

He twisted his ankle severely when a DT fell on top of him.

This is a great (however safe) game being conducted by Fitzpatrick. He only has three incomplete passes (16/19) with eight different receivers getting into the game.

just that he is nasty and a top 10 back in the league

thats what I said, you disagreed, I said we need him long term, you said you didnt that he was the answer and at the best a 3rd down mix up back, I disagreed and he is proving me right

by UnoCinco on Nov 2, 2008 3:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Now you're lying.

I said he’s “at the best a 3rd down mix up back”? I don’t recall that. Where’s the link I said those exact words.

The one thing that I have maintained, is that the Bengals should go after a big-play running back in the draft — provided that they have tackle and center options sealed — because the team has Watson and Chris Perry for next season. Benson is nice, but the Bengals still need to dramatically rebuild the RB roster.

Even if they score a TD. They still have to convert two just to tie the game. And thank god Jacksonville takes a time out. Otherwise, the clock would run limiting our chance at any possessions.
