Game Thread: giants game thread

[DanBengalfan]

we can win this one. hey, we played 3 teams that were pretty good and lost. we lost to NE cuz we love slow starts.


I think we make things modestly interesting at least this season. keep your seat on the bandwagon.

 

[DanBengalfan]

if they hand the ball off to zach moss again, I'm going to throw up.

 

[DanBengalfan]

where was zach moss's great pass protecting when mims blew his block ?

good god, he sucks.

 

[DanBengalfan]

someone on that side line needs to be punching zach moss in the nuts right now.

 

[DanBengalfan]

so zach moss failed to get joe burrow killed, so he's just going to give the giants the ball. nice. seriously, trade him for a defensive depth pick. use one of the tight ends as a full back.

 

[DanBengalfan]

I wonder if it may behoove us in the future to invest a early round pick on a complete running back.

 

[DanBengalfan]

defense played well enough today.


offensive line was challenged, our play calling was awful for the most part, even zac confessed that. at least he's not a narcissist, he knows he needs to fix himself.

next game....

I didn't realize this was the Zach Moss hate thread! LOL>

 

[cincygrad]

Do you guys think we should order the rings?

jb,s td run was great and surprising.

he's one of the most frustrating players to watch. "but he can block for the QB". he's still not very good at it.

Here is the issue - Taylor has said the same before - it's a lot of the same from him. Much talk. Little action. He needs to give up play-calling. Period.

Brown is RB1 - and it's not particularly close. No need to invest in a top round pick - Brown can do just about everything. He was graded as a good blocker coming out of college, so I think he needs more chances to show what he can and can't do in that area. But, this OL isn't great as sustaining blocks in the run game, or opening huge holes. Brown's explosion and speed are different than Moss and allow him to be more productive with the type of OL currently employed by the Bengals.

Moss is a nice change of pace back for Brown, but he's a more patient runner, like Mixon - and likely why he'll struggle a bit more with this OL than Brown will - IMO.

i don't believe brown is that bad of a blocker either. i saw moss miss blocks, he's not the best blocking rb in the league, but they somehow want him to be a starter because he can block, he ain't.
