Benson - 3 game suspension

[flamingrey]

He'll play this weekend, then his appeal heard on Tuesday, and if unsuccessful, suspended.

Someone somewhere is laughing their ass off.

In less than a week, we've lost 2 of our top 3 WRs and our starting RB. Nice.

 

[BKBroiler9000]

It's amazing how in a span of two days, what was looking like an okay season, has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Bengals fever...catch it.

 

[BKBroiler9000]

More like Bengals herpes. I feel like we need some "Who-dey Perspective" on the recent events.

I hope he loses his appeal so Marvin can see how worthless he is.

What is it with all these criminals in the NFL? Not surprised to see half of them in and out of jail during their NFL careers and after.

Give them hundreds of thousands of dollars and still live and act like they are in the hood.

I really wish they'd just flat out cut his ass. It'll never happen though. Sadly we need him more now. With Simpson the blunt roller and Shipley both likely gone, we'll have to run more to mask our clusterfuck passing game

if our running backs get the chance to do their job.

Most of these guys, if it weren't for football, would be holding up 7-Elevens and clogging police blotters more than they already do.

Can't find a list of NFL FA's right now but here is a list of guys I wouldn't mind seeing picked up for a few games to see what they can do if Benson gets suspended. I won't swear some of these haven't signed somewhere, I'm just doing this off of memory that I haven't heard that they had.

Mike Hart
Kevin Smith
Clinton Portis
Noel Devine
Laurence Maroney
Tiki Barber.....why the hell not?

screw those guys...just let Scott and Peerman play. Could be a blessing in disguise.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I highly doubt it. I've seen what Scott was able to do in each of the 2 games he was in. Peerman ok I'd like to see him play. I'd like either Hart, or Devine personally. Hart ran real well with the Colts in his limited time, and Devine just has big play written all over him. He is a little on the small side but he is very versatile.

 

[DanBengalfan]

compared to 2009 and 2010 B. Scott's performance hasn't been that good, but he can be more affective than that. He just can't seem to carry the load for 20 or so snaps a game.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I still say Devine can be a very effective weapon. He is fast, agile, can catch. Hart doesn't have the speed Devine has but he was very effective in INDY. I'm not expecting anything out of Scott because he has yet to show me he has anything.

 

[bengaldoug]

Scott will be on IR before Benson's suspension is over......

What no mention of Dee Dee Dorsey.........




I'd love to see Leonard get the bulk of the work.

true. but it's hard to get into a groove when you only come in for one play at a time. I think RB's need reps to be effective. Anyway I think Ced is a good back, but the BEngals would be better suited to a quicker back that can bounce it to the outside and can make plays in the short passing game with the way the offense and O-line are configured. I'd say give Scott and peerman the majority of touches and keep leonard in his 3rd down role (he should also be the guy for any short yardage scenarios)

This (minus the thinking Ced is a good back). Of the guys on our roster, Scott and Leonard are ideal for the WCO, if used correctly. Run them up the middle here and there, get them on the outside, run them behind screens, and drop off short passes to them in the flat, the latter 3 of which Cedric is below average at, and the latter 2 of which are bread and butter WCO plays. With the right playcalling, both of these guys are better for us than Cedric.

That was another one of J-wil's "boyz". Wonder where he's at now.

Well, on the bright side...maybe Marvin won't "Forget" to get Scott some carries while Benson is out?
