calibengalfan Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have to agree with you, great play!! As it was happening, I was on the phone with my friend (luckily one who understands that the Bengals come before everything aside from death). Since she doesn't have NFL Network, she wasn't able to see the play, but she got the play by play from me. I went from, "Oh shit, we actually pulled a flea flicker, TJ's got it, he's in the endzone, fuck YES"!!!!!! YYYYEEEAAAHHH!!!!! Then it was back to her baby's cold. At least, until the next play, then it was back to the game. Am I a bad friend? Oh well, Bengals won, whe knows what to expect while the Bengals are playing, she's lucky to have even talked to me tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULLY Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I didn't see that play but I did see the punt at the end there and thought it was a TD. I was sitting here in the teachers room at school, quiet as a library in here except for the football commentary coming out of my laptop at a minimal peep. He grabbed that and ran it into the end zone and I literally jumped up out of my chair with my hands over my head and said "YES!! TOUCHDOWN, BABY!!!!" pretty loud. Everyone turned and looked at me. I just smiled and sat down real quick. hehe!! MULLY God I love to see them winning again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I've been for them to double jam the gunners on punt returns so you could give ratliff room to return.....they do it an what do you know, 44 yd return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 That's the drawback of having a really aggressive defense. It's easy to get them to bite on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldschooler Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 [quote][size=5][b]Flea-flicker catches Ravens' Reed off-guard[/b][/size] By Mark Gokavi Staff Writer Friday, December 01, 2006 CINCINNATI  Ravens safety Ed Reed has made a career out of ultra-aggressive plays turned into returns for touchdowns. Reed took back an interception 25 yards for a score Nov. 5 in Baltimore's 26-20 win over the Bengals. Earlier this week, with a chance to clinch the AFC North title in Cincinnati, Reed said: "There is no other team in the league that I would much rather be playing than the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm sure they feel the same way." The Bengals (7-5) used that aggression against Reed during Thursday night's 13-7 victory over Baltimore (9-3) at Paul Brown Stadium. Reed bit hard when Rudi Johnson got a handoff from Carson Palmer on first and 10 at Baltimore's 40 early in the third quarter. T.J. Houshmandzadeh feigned a block and cut toward the corner. When Johnson's pitch went back to Palmer, the flea-flicker pass sailed high over Reed's head. "That's why he was so open," Johnson said of Reed's action. "We knew it would be money." Houshmandzadeh gathered the ball at the 12 and scored for a 13-0 lead. "That's one of them system touchdowns," said Houshmandzadeh, who had 10 catches for 106 yards. "All I've got to do is catch the ball. "He's an aggressive safety. So, it was a good call at the time. It had to be the right coverage. It was the coverage we wanted, and it just worked out." The Bengals twice had long drives (14 plays-77 yards-7:03 and 12-60-6:14) that bogged down and ended in Shayne Graham field goals. The flea flicker slowed Baltimore's rush. After nine sacks against pissburgh last weekend, Baltimore had two, both when Palmer fell. "They're probably the best in the league at confusing you and beating guys one on one," Bengals tackle Willie Anderson said this week. This time, it was the Ravens' offense that looked confused. Before Derrick Mason's 36-yard TD catch with 1:01 left, Baltimore's longest play was Steve McNair's 19-yard scramble on a third down late in the first half.

Fortunately the owners know I am light on the funds, or I would have had to buy the people at the bar a round of shots as punishment.

The Baltimore Ravens couldn't stop 'em, either. The Bengals used a little trickery to pull off a 13-7 victory over the AFC North Division leaders in front of 65,973 spectators and millions watching on NFL Network. Clinging to a 6-0 lead early in the third quarter, the Bengals perfectly executed a flea-flicker that resulted in quarterback Carson Palmer's 40-yard TD pass to wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Palmer handed off to tailback Rudi Johnson, who flipped the ball back to Palmer. Ravens defenders bit on the play, and Houshmandzadeh was all alone near the right sideline when he hauled in the pass at the 12-yard line and sprinted into the end zone. The Bengals (7-5) earned their third straight victory, evened their home record at 3-3 and gave their playoff hopes a boost. Baltimore (9-3) would've clinched the division title with a win, but the Ravens' celebration was put on hold by the Bengals' methodical offense and relentless defense. Houshmandzadeh caught 10 passes for 106 yards, while Chad Johnson (8 catches, 91 yards) pushed his league-leading receiving yardage to 1,146. Johnson took over possession of third place on the Bengals' career receiving yards list with 6,702, passing Cris Collinsworth (6,698). The Bengals set club defensive records for consecutive scoreless quarters (7) and time without allowing a point (123 minutes, 20 seconds) during a span of three games. [b]Stars of the game:[/b] The offensive line for protecting Palmer, and the aggressive secondary, led by safety Dexter Jackson, and corners Johnathan Joseph and Tory James. [b]Goat of the game:[/b] Ravens kicker Matt Stover missed a 29-yard field goal, wide left, with 12 seconds remaining in the first half. [b]Turning point:[/b] James swatted a McNair pass intended for Mark Clayton on fourth and 3 at the Bengals' 11 with 6:20 to go. [b]Quote machine:[/b] "That was the loudest I've ever heard our crowd since I've been here (2001). That's much appreciated."  T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Phatcat Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 The NFL had Rudi wired for sound during the game. [url="http://nfl.com/"]Rudi Wired for Sound[/url] It's on the far right side of the page under Video Features. It will start with a commercial then there are 5 or 6 segments - all Rudi. One of them is Rudi in the huddle prior to the TD pass and he is talking to Kelly and Jjohson to keep him clean so he can pitch back the ball to Carson. Pretty cool, worth watching....
