bwillycuse Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah - This is one of my disappointments so far. Not showing any love to Bernard. In the return game or in offense.Come on Brat...Lets try some creativity. (Im starting to believe he doesn't know how to use a TE like Coffman either) Quote
Kazkal Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Not showing any love to Bernard. In the return game or in offense.We have a Good Punt Returner & kicker returner and well I'd like to see him get few more touches it's hard because if Cedric whos doing a great job and then Leonard who is Money on 3 and long.

HairOnFire Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Screw creativity. If Benson manages another 30 carry day against the Browns you know this one will be a win for the Bengals. Quote
derekshank Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Screw creativity. If Benson manages another 30 carry day against the Browns you know this one will be a win for the Bengals.Agreed. If it ain't broken...I know people are anxious to see Scott, but at what cost? Benson is clearly getting the job done. The only way to get the ball in Scott's hands is to take it out of Benson's. Right now, based on the information available to me, that's not a trade I'm willing to make. And it appears that the coaching staff feels the same way. Quote
Pidge Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 I think Scott begins to see more time in the second half of the season. Gives defenses a new look and Benson can have a couple of snaps off to top up the tank, so to speak. He'll be vital for us in the playoffs. Quote
Sea Ray Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Screw creativity. If Benson manages another 30 carry day against the Browns you know this one will be a win for the Bengals.Yeah, let's plan to beat the Browns with straight forward football and save the creativity for the Ravens and others Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 This actually may be this week with Benson sitting with a knee injury. He was back at practice yesterday, but my thought would be, if his knee is bothering him at all and we get up on the Browns, SIT HIM. If we don't have a comfortable lead, then yeah, Benson all day long... Quote
bwillycuse Posted October 2, 2009 Report Posted October 2, 2009 Though I agree with the thought of 'if its not broke dont fix it', i do like the approach of having some variability to the run game. Sed has 66 carries. The rest of the running backs have 5 (thats counting that awesome 6 yard loss screen pass to Scott against Denver)Its only 3 games in. We havent really run that many plays yet, so Im not really griping. Just greedy and want to see Scott break some ankles. Quote
TJJackson Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Posted October 2, 2009 If Ced is already nicked up, it's time to give him some help, limit his carriesIt's a long seasonLet Leonard and Scott take some carries, heckCan Tab Perry play some tailback? Quote
TJJackson Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 Week 4 vs the Browns6 carries for 41 yards2 kickoff returns avg 26yds1 special teams tackle. I think (hope?) his performance earned him some more touches next week. Quote

I think (hope?) his performance earned him some more touches next week.Hope so. We could use a one two punch. Not saying Benson cant handle the load by himself, I'm saying it will make it a lot easier on him. Quote

I think (hope?) his performance earned him some more touches next week.I don't know what a guy has to do to get touches, with stats like these. Scott, and Leoneard for that matter, need to see a few more touches per game. If Benson gets 20-25 carries, that means about 8-12 to get to Scott and Leonard. Mix in a few more passes to them, as opposed to the TE checkdowns, and they then have a chance to conribute. For me, I'd rather see Scott or Leonard with the ball than Coates. Way more chance to make yards after catch. Easier to create a mis-match as well.C'mon Brat, get the scheme adjusted....and please, NO MORE END-AROUNDS!!!!!!! Quote
TJJackson Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 (Coats did have a good game, tho) Quote
Kazkal Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 (Coats did have a good game, tho)Because the Browns weren't covering the Tight Ends they were only position ever open...Andre SMith could have been in at tight end and been wide open on some of those plays...Though I'm not surprised coat had few decent catches he was more known as receiver when he first came here just makes me wonder how many more yards we'd have on those plays if we actually had a threat @ TE.

membengal Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 The two TEs combined for 7 catches for 80 yards. Quote
Ickey44 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 The two TEs combined for 7 catches for 80 yards.I bet that hasn't happened since Rodney Holman was playing... Quote
Sea Ray Posted October 6, 2009 Report Posted October 6, 2009 The two TEs combined for 7 catches for 80 yards.I bet that hasn't happened since Rodney Holman was playing...I'll bet ya Tony McGee dropped 80 yards of passes once upon a time... Quote

TJJackson Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Posted November 15, 2009 I think he deserves some love after that KO return for TD @ SteelersWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Scott was the difference today. On my game sheet, he splits the game ball with the D. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Scott was the difference today. On my game sheet, he splits the game ball with the D.No doubt. Quote
gregstephens Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 I think he deserves some love after that KO return for TD @ SteelersWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTJ, I will happily join you in a chorus of Whitney's ode to B. Scott. Well done. Quote
Pidge Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 He'll take some confidence from this game. Huge (just epic considering the timing of it) ST play and started to get into his stride as the game wore on. He's a keeper this one, for sure. Looking forward to seeing him get more touches in the next 3 weeks. Quote
COB Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 He's a keeper this one, for sure. Looking forward to seeing him get more touches in the next 3 weeks.Right on. I hope he gets almost all the carries next week. Let Ced get totally healthy. No disprespect to the Raiders, but I think we'll run the ball just fine with Bernard against that D. Quote
Pidge Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 Maybe give Ced a few plays eh if he's good to go? Just to keep him humming along but hopefully the game goes well enough to move Scott in for the majority of carries and also a delicious side helping of Leonard would be nice. Quote
