Expecting...

A good game by Rudi Johnson. This could be his final appearance as a Cincinnati Bengals player, or it could propel him as the team’s starting feature back.

Nice points

- Corey Lynch starting. The kid deserves the shot, and playing time.

- Chris Henry returning among a group of banged up WRs. T.J. Houshmandzadeh may get some PT also.

Looking forward to this game. Hopefully it’ll provide us with some optimism before the regular season kicks off. The last game against New Orleans surely didn’t.

Oh, and I hope to find some place to watch the game…

Three and out by the colts

On the first run (no yards), JJ made a good stop at the LOS. On the second, Keith Rivers did a good job slowing up the RB in the backfield while JJ finished him off. The Colts ran off the right edge on both runs.

On the third play, Gray attempted passs to WR and it was a bit low. Incomplete.

Fitzpatrick drops back, GOOD PROTECTION, decides to take off and run. He side stepped the first tackler and fell over for the first down.

Perry takes the hand off, hits behind Whitworth. The guy that Eric G. was blocking, spun off him and made the stop.

Yeah, you’re probably right. And since no other team has signed him yet the Bengals are probably right when they haven’t either. He was just nasty a couple of years back though.

by el-insaciable on Aug 28, 2008 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bentley is supposedly asking for a lot of money

Whereas most teams want to give him a minimum deal based on incentives — worrying about his knee. Seems fair to me.

First and 15

After a false start on Jeremi Johnson, the Bengals line up in double tight end formation, runs to the left in a stretch type run. Watson found nothing at the point of attack, hit the cut back lane to gain a yard or soo.

Second and 14

Four WR set, Fiz, drops back and unleashes a full body throw to Chatman over the middle (it was a square-in route by Chatman), and gains 14 yards. But still short of the first.

Fitz, fakes the hand off and runs out to the right. Not by design. Gets the first down.

Second and four

After a six-yard gain (pass to Reggie Kelly), Fitzpatrick throws to Chatman running a skinny post, and drops the pass. Though Paul Keels says “it looks like a good catch”. It wasn’t. It was totally dropped. LOL

Fitz in shotgun is sacked after about five seconds of waiting for a receiver to get open. Fitz decided to run up the middle, but someone got to his legs.

Perry runs left again, hits behind Levi Jones, picks up a yard. Whitworth and Eric G. pulled. The Colt that made the tackle tracked Perry down from behind.

Fitz in shotgun, looks for a second, and then takes off over the middle. Perry made an awful block attempt that forced Fitz to run. He picked up 16 yards and the first down.

by Kirkendall on Aug 28, 2008 7:27 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Second and G

Chris Perry gets the hand off, hits the hole behind Bobbie Williams and goes in the for the TOUCHDOWN! The line just pushed the defensive line to their right (they were stunting that way and the o-line just pushed them down). Perry was hit, spun and stayed on his feet!

QB in shotgun, blitz coming and Dani Jones drops the QB — who fumbles! Bengals recover. Blackstock and Peko were in on the sack. Looks like Peko stripped the ball. Bengals recover.

That's what yesterday's entry on BND was all about.

In my mind:

2005=4.1 or 4.3 YPC
2006=3.8 YPC
2007=2.9 YPC

You’ve got NO room to whine and complain, dude. If you stopped dancing in the backfield and running into your blockers, no one would be trying to get rid of you.

Also consider though, from 2005 to 2007...

The Bengals lost Eric Steinbach and Richie Braham. Both were replaced by inferior players — not to rip them, but I don’t think either were close to those two guys.

Valid points, for sure.

He doesn’t run off the LG every time, though. I’d be interested to see how he ran last year on the right side compared to the left side.

Kenny Watson got it done all year, Rudi couldn’t behind the same line.

Right.

That’s why I said he said what Zimmer said. “We Suck.” lol

Boy, that was an odd sentence to type…

No doubt.

Me either. I can’t wait to wear my Little Animal jersey in here to work next Saturday and each one following.

Maybe I’ll shake it up with the Griffin jersey now and again, tho. lol

Hey, my Utecht jersey came in day before yesterday, I should have it early next week. w00t!

May as well leave him out at this point.

No point in having him out there against guys like you and me.

Heh. I played in eighth grade.

I was very small at that point, probably weighed a buck twenty soaking wet if that. It wasn’t fun and I stopped after that. lol

Bramlet

What happened to Troy “Tonsils” Smith?

by IgnatiusJReilly on Aug 28, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Troy will probably start next weekend, if not Flacco. lol

I was just saying, since Baltimore picked up Bramlet when Boller went down.

Flacco

sounds like something to avoid at Taco Bell.

Troy Smith is a bit sick right now

And giving more time for Flacco. If we don’t beat the Ravens Sunday, I’m quitting this job. Hehehehe

I can see two scenarios

1) The preseason predicts the regular season and the Bengals are 5-11.
2) Everyone on offense comes back, protection stabilizes and defense is best during Marvin Lewis era finished 10-6.

They’ll go 3-5 in the first half, then commence on the Dead Cat Bounce.

I’m picking 10 and 11- because i’m the reigning champion(read I had Tomlinson).

Had one minute max pick times… with 180 picks, the draft took 32 minutes. It was great.

Colts rushing

9 rushes, 5 yards

And Lorenzen has nine yards on a scramble — which is seven yards longer than any rush attempt by any Colts RB.

Nothing much on that drive

Rashad Jeanty appears at full health.

Ahmad Brooks ran down Lorenzen (make your own giggles)

David Jones makes a good open-field tackle after allowing a completion.

Whitworth says that "we haven't been worried"

Which is kind of a general theme with the players.

brooks has looked extremely motivated

kinda like I thought Rudi would tonight. Also, Henderson has looked impressive in his first action- fast, aggressive, like Brooks. Our LBs, in general, look promising, maybe even enough to make up for any D-Line deficiencies. And we haven’t even seen Odom yet.

by IgnatiusJReilly on Aug 28, 2008 9:11 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yea...

And that’s been the point I’ve been trying to stress this entire preseason. While we’ve looked awful, there are scenarios in which this team could actually be pretty good. Though, like most of you, I’m tired as hell about potential.

We’ve finished the pre-season without any major injuries to potential starters. That’s really the primary goal in my opinion.

Tonight the Bengals had a different mentality

Granted, the Colts had lesser talent than we did — where we had most of our starters, the Colts had few. But the Bengals defense had a fast feel to them. They were running to the ball and all that.

I feel a little better

a little more optimistic. Kinda like taking an aspirin for an amputation. Better than nothing. I think Rudi is gone, Simpson, Holt, Shirley, Henderson, and Brooks make the squad, Sims and Caldwell to PUP. Linebackers are solid, secondary could be the pick of the litter defensively. Odom, an improved Peko, Geathers back in his wheelhouse, Brooks and henderson to augment the edges and the D-Line should be fine, especially if Sims returns and Shirley continues to improve- and gets his legal crap dealt with. Thornton and Myers and either Fanene or Rucker stick. Hebert makes it, Jones/Castille is a crapshoot that I’d probably give to Castille. Urrutia and maybe Logan to the practice squad. Hmm.

Night.

You are correct, sir.

With the more Houdini-like, gigantic-headed action figure that is Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm glossing over the Herculean warts of the offensive line, we, indeed, can! Trade Carson to the Chiefs(Chieves?) for Glenn Dorsey! Take that New Orleans Saints! Up with people!

My scrambled Soylent Green is getting cold!
