oldschooler Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 [b]Q: I was noticing when watching the Broncos-Bengals game that [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=8436"][color="#225fb2"]Matt Jones[/color][/url] wasn't looking too impressive. I know he's had his struggles outside of football and figure this may be his last shot at making an NFL roster. Do you agree with this? Jason in Denver A:[/b] When I saw Jones in minicamp in June, he appeared to have lost a couple of steps. He's just not as fast as he was when he came into the league. I wouldn't say the Bengals will be his last stop. Other teams still might need a big wide receiver, but I predict he won't make the Bengals. He did a decent job of catching the ball in their first preseason game, and that's important because he needs good video for that next team to give him a chance. To Steve in Alexandria, Ky., the Bengals finally have legitimate tight end in [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=13228"][b]Jermaine Gresham[/b][/url]. He's a stud and will only get better. … Here's a follow-up Bengals answer to Mike in Cincinnati. With all the weapons now given to [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4459"][b]Carson Palmer[/b][/url], I do believe that he will be a 4,000-yard passer again.

Enon Bengal Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 A 4,000 yard season is only 250 yards a game. It's hard to believe he's only done it twice(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 10, 6, 7, 5, 2, 5 are the # of qb's with 4000+ yards for season last 6 years... not exactly common before last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 If Ced and Bernard are kicking ass in the running game no way Carson gets 4k. Just too much clock gets eaten with a good running game. The other factor is Gresham. He looks like a beast in preseason so I can see him getting a lot of possession stuff over the middle. Not big yard plays but they move the chains and keep the clock running stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] he reminds me of TJ, not just the number, but he may actually be more talented than TJ even as a TE.. eager to see this kid play in the regular season.. pleasant surprise as i wasnt too excited about the pick originally..
