Brockers out with an ankle injury. Nice work, Fish!Rams starters are playing well into the second quarter.
saw that tooTCU fan here. Anyone know what happened to dalton? Just saw a teaser on nfl network acting as if he got injured.
Andy Dalton - QB - BengalsAndy Dalton is done for the night after leaving Thursday's preseason finale with a bruised arm.Dalton was seen flexing his throwing hand, but was in good spirits and never left for the locker room. The Bengals are likely just exercising extra caution here. Dalton wasn't going to stay in the game much longer regardless. He finished the evening 3-of-4 for 26 yards.saw that tooTCU fan here.

what kind of football name is gurley?
Those are their STARTERS??Rams starters are playing well into the second quarter.
Benson should get the carries and Green should get a lot of catches. For whatever reason, Green has just shown nothing running the ball which is strange because he certainly looks the part. He could get a chance if Benson puts the ball on the turf, though.What's everyone's opinion on Alex Green VS Benson?
No reason to favor Green right now.Benson is the more accomplished and talented player. I suspect he'll get the first crack at the job. If he plays horribly for the first few weeks then maybe they'll give Green a chance.What's everyone's opinion on Alex Green VS Benson?
Can you describe Steve Smith's game? Was he on for 3 WR sets, playing which position? I see he had 3 targets to Gibson's 1, was Gibson getting most of the snaps though?Watched the first half of St. Louis/Baltimore. Relevant FF notes:
- St. Louis starting WRs were Amendola and Gibson.
- Bradford looked okay, but all of his snaps came against Baltimore's backups.
- Daryl Richardson got most of the RB snaps after Steven Jackson left the game and appears to the early frontrunner for the RB2 job.
- Bernard Pierce started for Baltimore and appears to be Rice's handcuff. He looks like a Shonn Greene type. Compact and powerful. Will take what's there, but will not make a lot of dynamic plays.
- Baltimore's backup offense is pretty bad. Tyrod Taylor got the start and didn't do much. Their WRs were mostly quiet.
That hasn't been said too often recently.I still can't wait for the oakland seattle game.......
Benson is horrible. Lifetime sub 4.0 YPC and that's when he's old. He isn't going to get many 3rd down carries anyway.I think Green takes the reigns in a few weeks. Whether he can do anything is something else. For a flyer pick though I will take his odds.No reason to favor Green right now.Benson is the more accomplished and talented player.

Makes me wonder if we may have overrated Russell Wilson's performance a bit against the Chiefs last week. They're moving the ball at will.Also makes you wonder if hanging on to Donald Driver could come back to haunt TT at some point. The Packers are going to have to let some very talented young WR's walk.How good is Aaron Rodgers really? His receivers seem to make any QB look good
Jags turned it over around their own five. Quizz scored on a counter off-tackle. Defensive back had him one on one and dove at his ankles but didn't wrap up.Quizz finishes with 5-24-1TD. Anyone see the TD - between the tackles, around the end, a gimme?
Benson has also played on bad offenses his entire career. I understand why people are always itching to replace guys like him and Shonn Greene, but it's the old backup QB logic. Just because the starter is mediocre doesn't mean the guy behind him is better. Benson is a former top 5 pick coming off three straight 1000+ yard rushing seasons. At this point he is the clear favorite to start in a backfield that lacks dynamic players.Benson is horrible. Lifetime sub 4.0 YPC and that's when he's old.

Played early and often in 3 WR sets. Made a nice play to catch a ~50 yard pass while falling down. I think he'll be a big factor, given that Amendola and Gibson look below par.Can you describe Steve Smith's game? Was he on for 3 WR sets, playing which position?

suxHow good is Aaron Rodgers really? His receivers seem to make any QB look good
That's what im sayin'Wilson, Turbin, LaMichael James, AJ Jenkins, Streater, Hillman and M. Floyd still to go tonight for dynasty leaguers scouting rookies?
I doubt he gets the amount of carries that he garnered in Cincy (probably close to 300 if he had played all 16 last year). He also can't catch. Their coaches have already said he won't be a "3 down back". I had to watch Benson last year. He's an extremely slow, plodding, happy footed back who is now playing in a quick hitting offense. Its just a matter of time until GB realizes he's not as good a fit as all the people on FBG think he is.Benson has also played on bad offenses his entire career.

Kinda humorous given numerous GB players & scouts have said he looks like tremendous fit.You can do the Google.Its just a matter of time until GB realizes he's not as good a fit as all the people on FBG think he is.
Coachspeak. They say lots of things this year. Especially for a player they just signed.Kinda humorous given numerous GB players & scouts have said he looks like tremendous fit.You can do the Google.Its just a matter of time until GB realizes he's not as good a fit as all the people on FBG think he is.
Work to do: In Cincinnati, running back Cedric Benson was quick to interject that he made a mistake in protection amid a flood of questions about his six-carry, 38-yard rushing night last Thursday.His worst moment came late in the first half when Benson hesitated and blocked outside while the linebacker he was supposed to block, Thomas Howard, shot through the middle to sack AaronRodgers."Eventually, you'd like to see Cedric be in position to stay in there for all three downs," running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. "But I don't think he's done a lot of third down."Until Benson becomes reliable as a pass blocker, the Packers have other options."Obviously, we've got a couple different plans on who the third-down back could be," Van Pelt said. "There's some comfort with John ( Kuhn). He's obviously the most experienced in our protection schemes and is in tune with the line calls." Brandon ( Saine) is a guy you like to see in there on third downs. Big-bodied guy that can protect."Alex Green has been up and down in protection. After the Cleveland game, guard Josh Sitton offered to buy him a steak dinner after he whiffed against defensive tackle Billy Winn and Green alertly picked him up."Our mantra in the room is, 'When in doubt, don't go out. Block it inside out,' " said Van Pelt. "I think Alex is coming, but pass pro is an acquired art. He will put his face in there."
Yea, it's clearly a terrible sign when the running backs coach says he hopes Benson can eventually play on all three downs."Eventually, you'd like to see Cedric be in position to stay in there for all three downs," running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. "But I don't think he's done a lot of third down."
I was referring to the coachspeak. You can read into that whatever you like. Seems to me a 29 year old back can't pass protect.I will concede he is the starter (for now). What I predict is that the offense will click better with someone else and he will be relegated to backup/goalline duty.Yea, it's clearly a terrible sign when the running backs coach says he hopes Benson can eventually play on all three downs."Eventually, you'd like to see Cedric be in position to stay in there for all three downs," running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said.
