sling Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Johnson isn’t kidding about 1,800 yards. Not that he ever was. But especially now that he senses the Bengals’ shift in philosophy to make the long ball more of a staple. from bengals.com what do u guys think going long ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnz Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 1800 yards is a lot of passes...That's 112.5 yards a game...He averaged 15.1 yards a catch last year, at that rate he has to get 120 catchs to get to 1800. If he does get a few more long balls his way and his average goes up to say 17 yards a catch, he would still need 106 catchs...That's a lot of grabs...Especially when you consider that he'll get constant double teams unless Palmer makes good on his threat to get P-dub into the probowl...

sling Posted March 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 all i can say is if he get 1800 palmer is worth every bit the number one pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Kev is right. As of right now? No, he won't have 1800 yards this season unless someone can cause a little havoc underneth or create another deep threat. P-Dub has his best year last season and I really don't expect him to have a better one than last. We really need (A) a fast and hands TE (we don't have that right now) and we need ( B ) a speed WR to at least give off Chad a little. Hopefully Pat Johnson takes care of that.HOW MANY DAMNED JOHNSONS DO WE HAVE?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 The key for Johnson to get 1800 yards is the running game. We have to be able to average 130 yards a game to have that type of impact on the passing game.---The more effective the line is at drive blocking and zone blocking, as well as Rudi breaking long runs, and whoever his compliment is, or Palmer adding in a few runs on those make-able third downs will open the passing lanes.---Secondly..The Kelley Washington that terrorized the SEC his freshman,and part of his sophomore years has to step up.--When We go to our 3-wide formation,KW has to stretch his man ,leaving P-dub open under neath. ---Agree with Kirk, about the TE.... We either need a healthy Schobel, or and I wouldn't be mad if they did it.. Draft a guy like Watson or Troupe,because they are just as athletic as Winslow jr., and Watson's 4.46 speed is eyepopping for a tight end.
