John Clayton thinks Matt Jones doesn't make the roster, Carson will be a 4,000 yard passer


Recommended Posts

[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?

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.

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.

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..
