Another Kicker down

The Bengals looked pretty good for the first time last night. I still think Johnson sucks at QB! Watson was an animal! The Def looked really good, compared to pass performance. We sign a kicker to fill in for Graham, and he's taken out on his first kick. Larson did a great job filling in on extra points and kick offs. Seeing that he doesn't practice for those situations, he did a good job. Game is on come Monday night!

I really feel for Elling on this one. He knew all along that he was only going to be here for one game, but he still gives it his all by trying to make a tackle. Really unfortunate that he paid such a high price for it...

What scared me the most was Larson getting into the action on kickoffs after Elling's injury. If I were a Bengals coach I would have instructed Larson to just let the guy return a kick for a touchdown rather than risk yet another injury by having a kicker trying to make a tackle.

Don't feel too bad for him, cause if I am correct, because he got hurt while in action on a contract, he now gets all the benefits of an NFL player and the Bengals are on the hook for the entire contract instead of just being able to cut him. So actually, despite the pain and the injury, he makes out better financially this way.

What will happen is that he will be "waived-injured." Once he clears waivers, which he certainly will, he reverts to the Bengals IR list. I don't believe he gets his full salary, tho, but I dunno what the exact percentage is.

What are the odds two kickers get hurt in back to back PRESEASON games? I mean what the f*ck?

It must be the fault of the training staff. <_<

Mike Brown. :lol:

Bush.

Osama Bin Laden. This was obviously a Taliban strike.
