Tyrod is looking pretty good.

He's been managing the game well all day. Also done a good job at avoiding sacks.

Did you know he was a fifth round pick out of Utah?

That's what one of the announcers said.

Pick 6 on Tyrod.

Sucks. Since this game doesn't mean anything for the bengals, I wouldnt mind seeing Tyrod do really well

Tyrod played pretty well today and it was mostly against Cincy's 1st teamers. The pick 6 wasn't all that egregious. I've seen worse from far better QBs. Tyrod actually moved the ball better today with the 2nd string than Flacco has for much of the year with the starters. Maybe with the read option gaining more traction with the successes of Wilson, RG3, Cam, and Kapernick; someone might try to give Tyrod a shot.

Boykin just made an awesome catch through PI for a first down on fourth down.

He got carted off the field after though

D. Hall has been playing lights out so far.

 

[jgHokie]

he actually played a heckuva game...i didn't want to punch him in the face one time..well...except the punt return...

 

[wildturkey]

Hall hasn't shut anyone down like that since he was in Atlanta. He usually just jumps routes for picks and gets burned. Did he bump his head?

 

[Ragingcroc]

I was looking at Tyrod's rushing TD and the play fake really helped him there. The free rusher took a step inside as to collapse down the line to the running back which allowed Tyrod to get to the edge.

I've always thought he's at his best when he's locked in with a big time receiver all game. As physical as he plays, if the team can get pressure and manage the rest of the field, he can bottle up his guy as well as anyone. It backfires too, but for one game, sometimes you got to roll the dice. I think the threat that it's soley his success or fault in that matchup motivates him pretty well. He can be a cocky and selfish MFer, but those attributes can be properly harnessed.

He was also helped because the refs took the night off and let them play old school football. Not that I'm complaining, I wish they'd call it like that every week. But you have to admit, the way its usually called, he (and plenty of others on both sides) got away with a lot of PIs.

I certainly agree on that point. Wish they'd let them play more often (although Sunday was perhaps a swing too far in that direction).


HTTmfR!
