Benson - 3 game suspension

[bengaldoug]

So when Marvin was talking about getting Scott more touches, think he already knew something?

Don't get him too much credit. This is typical Marvin digging himself into a hole.

Leonard is the best running back on the team. He should get 25 touches a game. It would work too well, though. We can't have that.

He's definitely the most (only?) versatile back on the team.....I'm not sure how well he would hold up getting that many touches though....I'm also not sure he would hold up just splitting touches 50/50 with Scott....not sure Scott would hold up either......one thing I do strongly believe, when Scott starts getting all the touches like Benson did, Scott will definitely not last long.....

I like Leonard too. But 25 touches is too many for him to handle. He'll break down to easily. Same can be said for Scott. Ideally they should split like 12-15 for each. No question Leonard needs to be on the field. Makes plays every time he touches the ball. Goddamnit Marv make it happen

If we can get first downs... I'm sure they will have their chance duing the 3 game suspension.

 

[flamingrey]

There is no reason for Leonard and Scott not to be on the field together often.

 

[DanBengalfan]

They seem intent on making Scott run up the middle just to show he can't do it well enough.

They need to use those running backs correctly.

Who on here did expect this after this incident? Everyone is acting like they are f'n surprised. They shouldn't be, it was totally expected.

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

Dallas says hi

 

[DanBengalfan]

My guess is the Bengals didn't plan well enough.

They could have picked up a f.a. unless they have some hidden confidence in our current rbs

Dallas says hi

Yeah, but I hate Dallas, so fuck them.

 

[Restore the Roar]

Yeah, but I hate Dallas, so fuck them.

LOL! rep sent. Never mind got to spread it around I guess. Still funny.

Just wondering why everyone thinks Leonard would break down taking the bulk of the snaps for 3 games. Didn't he used to be a FB. Seems like he should be able to bang for 3 games.....

 

[vancelot23]

Yeah, Leonard is a pretty big guy. If his body can't handle 20 carries a game, I question his conditioning and he's a pussy.

He can and should. He's the best skill player on the entire damn team. Well, maybe after Green, I guess.

Mike Hart is retired..... He coaches for Eastern Michigan.

Just start Peerman - How much worse can he be than Benson?
