Bernard Scott's Beastly Return

PrintThere's a little bit of contention going around CJ, thanks in large part to the Larry Johnson signing and the residual fallout. With that in mind, I thought it might be prudent to lighten the mood around here by posting the video of Bernard Scott's awesome kick off return against the Pittsburgh Steelers. As we all know, it was the game's only touchdown, and because it was so essential to the Bengals victory, it needs to be celebrated -- especially in light of the newest acquisition.
The best part of Scott's return, besides him crossing the goal line, has to be Steelers kicker Jeff Reed's "attempt" to "tackle" Scott. Granted, kickers aren't usually known as the best tackler, but that was just poor. It would've been better if Reed simply escorted Scott to the end zone, for all the good his bullfighter approach to tackling did.
One last thing, make sure to look for Quan Cosby knocking the stuffing out of Stefan Logan right before Scott goes into score. It's around the 18 or 19 second mark.

¡Diablo!
Crosby is running faster than everyone else on that return, including Scott. His hit at the end is nasty but maybe more important was the little shove he gives on number 22 that gives Bernard just enough space to finish the run. A great team effort.
Tanzen!

Bengals kick Galloway’s tires
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on November 17, 2009 5:35 PM ET
Joey Galloway’s career may not be over quite yet.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports the Bengals worked out the former Patriot/Buc/Cowboy/Seahawk on Tuesday, in addition to safety Mike Doss and defensive tackle Ed Johnson.
The Bengals have replaced Chris Henry from within to this point, but Galloway could be an option down the line if the team feels it needs another vertical threat.
Laveranues Coles has improved his play of late, but lacks the speed he had early in his career. Slot receiver Andre Caldwell is another traditional possession receiver. Galloway still appeared to have his speed with the Patriots, but struggled to adapt to their system.
Cosby was huge
Totally owned Logan on that first block, then again at the end.
if by owned..
you mean almost ripped his jersey off, you would be correct

um... no
Just watched it again and again trying to see this “almost ripped” you cite.
QC12 puts his hand on 22, and then looks left and goes to drill 11.
[It’s around the 19 second mark

That'd be the butt, bob.
I hadn't noticed that he had the opening block too, damn
I remember watching and thinking “Good God he’s FLYING!”.

what was impressive to me
…was Scotts ability to see the field and cut back depriving defenders of a good angle. Scott will never be the fastest guy on the field but he’s got good open field vision which more than makes up for it.

great play by quan
but he did get away with a shirt hold
by occams_tiger_teeth on Nov 17, 2009 8:36 PM EST reply actions
from the CIN 40 to the PIT 40 he just exploded
Scott had a 5-7 yard lead on him and we have to give Quan mad props for the end result.

Awesome
Quan should be given at least 1/2 a TD on that play, like a sack or tackle.
weird feedback from a Stiller fan
one of my buddies at work is from Western PA and argued vociferously that there was an illegal block on this return around the 20 yard line, an egregious block in the back “where the Bengal just fell on the Steeler defender”.
i cant see it…
"Nate Silver is a genius" .... BK
first of all
Ive never met a steelers fan that didn’t blame some referee/NFL conspiracy for every loss. What you fail to understand is that the steelers should always win every game. If they don’t there must be shananagins.
Moreover I’m sure you could find a holding call on just abou every NFL play if you look hard enough. Steelers included.
Id tell your friend to sack up and take the loss

it's meh
They were engaged face to face. When the steeler turned to pursue Scott, they both fell forward. The Bengal, already leaning over, fell onto him. You see that on about 60% of plays. I don’t think it’s illegal and certainly nothing to get vociferous over. [what are you doing bringing big words into a football forum ;)]
That'd be the butt, bob.
Agreed.
The Bengal just kept going in the same direction he was going when the initial contact was made face-to-face. That’s not even close to being an illegal block to the back.

Scott Durability
He got up slow on a handful of plays, durability could be an issue for this young player, another reason LJ was a good add. Gotta love the explosiveness, James Brooks like, complements power game but can’t carry running game in Benson’s absents.

Its amazing none of these missed extra points or field goals have not cost us a game yet
You can make the case the missed field goal in the Broncos game might have had an effect on the outcome, but it ended up 12-7 so the three points didn’t matter. I think Huber was just a little surprised the snap was so good his fingers turned into dicks and he couldn’t hold onto it. I still don’t agree with the refs blowing the 2 point attempt dead before he could throw the ball. I’m sure he would have completed it, <@;)
lol

Maybe most of you have seen it already, but I thought it was hysterical.

This video made my morning! Thanks walrus. LOL
I would really like the other guys to give it to him next Sunday. I am usually busy getting things done around the house so I can earn my game down time but I am going to watch just to see if he gets his due this Sunday.

My pleasure. :-)
For those who haven’t seen it yet, it’s a montage of Terry Bradshaw saying, “There’s NO WAY the Bengals win in Pittsburgh!” …followed by replay footage of…the Bengals winning in Pittsburgh!
Classic.

Yes my favorite part was Quan Cosby...
watch him the entire play, he makes the hole for Scott in the Beginning then runs all the way down and almost catches up with Scott and is looking to pop somebody and he finally found Logan, POW right in the kisser! LOVE IT, gotta keep that man around.
