PrintDuring our weekly snap count postings, jim0ijk, one of our most veteran readers and commenters, asked how many times each receiver caught the football compared to how many passes each were targeted. Fortunately, we've got your answer. In order for us to chart the data however, first we have to show the season-long numbers and then we'll break them down per game and per receiver. A quick note: Targets simply mean times that a quarterback targeted a receiver. It doesn't include bad throws from the quarterback, great defensive players and it doesn't weigh a high-risk throw 20 yards from the line of scrimmage as opposed to a more high-percentage screen/dump pass that's roughly five yards from the quarterback. Also we're not going to chart

Sometimes what everyone says is true. This game will answer all of the questions.
I just hope we can put a represetative Bengals team on the field by getting our real team on the field. Here is to getting the injured out on the field.

What about Benson's targets and catches?
I know he hasn’t had that many, but I have wondered how many he’s missed. He seems to have improved his hands in this regard. It was reported that he really worked on this in the off season and I’m curious. I remember the one screen that Dalton rushed the throw and many were saying Benson looked “confused” but Marvin had commented that that was Dalton’s one bad throw that game because he rushed it and Benson wasn’t expecting it that soon.
