Hill

[NCBengal]

Just play him more. The kid is a monster and just gains yards.

 

[bengaldoug]

He's a difference maker for sure. Hill and Gio are perfect complements for one another. That we were able to gain 472 yards without AJ was amazing.

 

[cincygrad]

Cue all the OSU homers still butthurt about their running back being passed on.

Hill is the real deal.

I am a Buckeye fan, I was disappointed we didn't take Hyde, but only because I didn't know a whole lot about Hill. After the pick of Hill, I looked up more info and tape on him and thought he was a solid pick and wasn't disappointed after I learned more about him.

We are a pretty solid team all around. I don't like seeing Burfict, Green, Whitworth, Zietler all going down today. With the injury to Eifert already, we are getting plagued pretty hard. We will be lucky to maintain this roll we are on if all our stars are going to be on the injured list each week.

The healthy teams are the ones that make the playoffs.

It's football, Crash. People are going to get hurt. The backups played well, better than they did during preseason. This toe thingy AJ has just might fuck with him off and on all season.

It is football, the next guy has to step up, but in general, the teams that stay healthiest during the year, those are the teams that make the playoffs.

It is a general statement, nothing more than that.

I think most of these guys would be 100% for New England if they took next week off. I also think it would be really hard to win without all of them next week. Yes, we looked great today, but it's hard to be consistent when your best players are wearing t-shirts on the sideline.

Only partially true. The teams that have quality depth also make the playoffs. Considering how hard it is to stay healthy durning the year, and how often players will get shuffled in/out during a game...depth is key.

 

[DanBengalfan]

well, it does effect our odds.

we managed to hold the fort against a good visiting team. having players healthy for NE would be nice.

 

[bengaldoug]

Don't know how well the offense would do if the opponent has all week to prepare for the Bengals without AJ Green. I'm sure Marvin will try to hide AJ's status as long as possible.

Yes. We were a little lucky yesterday to be playing Atlanta. They can't stop the run even when they know it's coming. Fortunately for us, our next opponent gave up 220 yards on the ground in a home game against Dallas!

We need to steal one more win -- A healthy Jones and Green would make this offense crazy.

 

[DanBengalfan]

I would just play him sparingly. maybe red zone situations?
but I never had turf toe either.

Dallas can run the hell out of the ball. DeMarco Murray is a stud. Unfortunately they don't use him right. Romo's always wanting to chuck 40-50 passes per game, which not only doesn't use his best weapon properly, but puts too much pressure on a shoddy defense. All of which made yesterday's game at Tennessee shocking. It also gives us a prescription to offensive success this week. Run the ball.

It's not that Romo wants to chuck it 50 times a game...when you are down 17-0 in a blink, it doesn't leave much room for running the ball.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Romo's just trying to get me fantasy points.

That is one crazy look in his eyes....

I hope Hill can stay out of trouble. Maybe he'll surprise me and not become a recidivist
