oldschooler Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 The team has arrived in Houston, where temperatures are in the mid-70′s. Despite the warm weather the retractable roof at Reliant Stadium is expected to be closed, as it was last Sunday for Houston’s regular season finale against Tennessee. Official word will be announced 90 minutes before kickoff. The Texans have 19 players listed on their injury report but 16 of them, including CB Johnathan Joseph (Achilles), QB T.J. Yates (left shoulder), WR Andre Johnson (hamstring), TEs Owen Daniels and Joel Dreessen (both knee), are listed as probable after fully participating in practice Friday. CB Jason Allen (back), LB Bryan Braman (neck) and S Troy Nolan (ankle) are questionable. Allen and Nolan practiced fully on Friday while Braman was limited. Bottom line: both teams are as healthy as possible going into Saturday’s game. http://cincinnati.com/blogs/bengals/2012/01/06/bengals-friday-injury-report/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] During all the months of the 'retirement' I don't recall one quote by Carson on any subject. Now, anyone can just attribute a quote to Carson from that time and get instant credibility. Carson said he wanted Brat fired - Carson wanted a bubble - Carson wanted better food - Carson blah blah blah. Dude didn't say shit about anything for 8 years and suddenly he's full of opinions? oh, and Carson Palmer said that eva4ben-gal is the best poster on the board during his retirement.

JBandJoeyV Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Carson is sitting on his ass in Cali who gives a shit what he said. Also if Keno numbers are any indicator of who is going to play well tomorrow, t looks like Pac and Howard and on offense Bernie Andre and baby hawk. But keno only goes up to 80...

oldschooler Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 [size=6][b]Hall of mirrors[/b][/size] By GEOFF HOBSON Posted 13 hours ago HOUSTON — Matchups, matchups, matchups. All sorts of matchups in Saturday’s Wild Card game (4:30 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 5) in Houston: While with Tennessee, Bengals cornerback Adam Jones dueled with Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson twice a year. Both kickers, Cincinnati's Mike Nugent and Houston's Neil Rackers, have not only worked in Cincinnati but also bring playoff experience from elsewhere; Nugent with the Jets and Rackers with the Cardinals. Texans wide receiver Kevin Walter, a former Bengal who broke Cincinnati's heart last month with that six-yard touchdown catch with two seconds left, goes against a defense that features the only other players on the field that were in the Bengals '05 Wild Card game against the Steelers: left end Robert Geathers and end/tackle Jon Fanene. But the most intriguing matchup continues to be the Pro Bowl showdown of two No. 1 Bengals draft picks, Bengals rookie wide receiver A.J. Green and Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph. Leon Hall, shelved by a season-ending torn Achilles, has a unique perspective. He was on the opposite corner of Joseph for four seasons before Joseph left via free agency before this season and he covered Green in practice. “It’s going to be fun to watch," said Hall this week on a visit to the Bengals locker room. “Last time was a good battle. I’ve had a lot of experience with J-Joe and A.J. pretty much catches everything. It’s two Pro Bowlers going at it.” In the 20-19 win over the Bengals Dec. 11, Joseph returned to Paul Brown Stadium to keep Green out of the end zone. But Green did get him in one third-quarter drive for a 36-yard jump ball and a 25-yard pass interference penalty. “He can jump higher than you," Joseph said. "And he can run, and I think every week he’s been getting a lot better as far as being a total receiver running routes, setting corners up. The one thing you worry about him is his jumping up. You think you have him covered and he makes the catch anyway.” It’s not an easy technique for a cornerback. Joseph and Hall both are just under six feet, tough duty when working against the 6-4, 207-pound Green and the 6-3, 219-pound Johnson. “You know in the back of your mind you have to get your head back around and see the ball as early as you can so you can rise up and get it,” Hall said. “Quarterbacks do that (throw jump balls). They have a lot of faith in their receivers. If I had A.J., I’d do the same thing. The thing you worry about it is getting your head around as soon as you can and jump as high as you can, which is obviously hard to do since your three inches shorter.” For the second time in three weeks the Bengals go against a five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver that has been compared to Green. First it was Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald. Now it is Andre Johnson, a guy that Hall went against at PBS two years ago. “Obviously (Green) is not as big, but I think he can jump as high as him, he’s more athletic than him a little bit. Andre Johnson has been a great receiver in this league. A.J. obviously possesses a little different talent. He’s just become a total receiver. He was a total receiver when he came in, but he wasn’t experienced. You could tell (now) he’s setting cornerbacks up. He’s running better routes.” Hall and Joseph are still close. When Joseph got done with his game back on Nov. 13 and found out Hall had blown out his Achilles against Pittsburgh, Joseph called him right away. When Joseph made the Pro Bowl for the first time last week, Hall called him. It had always been a debate which one would go to the all-star game first, but Hall said didn’t they didn’t talk about it in that way. “It goes beyond football,” Hall said. “He’s a good friend of mine. He’ll probably always be a good friend of mine.” Joseph was always supposed to be the athletic, brittle guy while Hall is perceived as solid-state durable. Before this season Hall had never missed a game and barely any practice time while Joseph missed a total of 13 games in his five seasons. Now Hall is in a boot and Joseph hasn’t missed a practice and is in the Pro Bowl. “How things change. I’m happy for him,” Hall said. “He’s athletically gifted. He can run. He’s smarter than a lot of people give him credit. He’s known for his athletic ability but he’s very smart on the field.” http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Hall-of-mirrors/6035c69d-906b-425e-8a5e-80480f3537c8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I know, but the Texans are making their first playoff appearance and the majority of their guys are homegrown. The Bengals have something like 23 guys who have played in a playoff game. I won't profess to be an expert on the Texans roster, but I'm guessing the majority of their "playoff experience" is coming from punter Matt Turk, backup QB Jake Delhomme, backup QB Jeff Garcia, and kicker Neil Rackers. Then Joseph and Daniel Manning. The Texans may have more "playoff games played" but the Bengals have FAR more actual players with playoff experience.

dabengals12 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 How the Bengals can win in Houston ... The Cincinnati Bengals will try to bring things full circle on Saturday It’s been 22 years since the Bengals last won a playoff game -- and that win came over Houston, in Houston, 41-14 in a wild card playoff game on Jan. 6, 1991. A win Saturday in the same city in the same round ends a 20-year playoff drought -- and gives the Bengals their first road playoff win in team history. Old, this was from your earlier post, and I have seen this elsewhere.Like I said earlier. I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
