BOARHOGZ Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Will Cincy maybe want to give Benson a little rest? Will they allow LJ more carries than usual? Will he do anything with those carries, if so? Is he still somewhat of an a-hole? Does it matter? hhhmmmmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 They better not. I'm looking to start Benson and am hopeful he'll replicate some of the success of the Browns running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Dang. Hadn't thought of silliness of the Bengals getting LJ some "revenge" at the cost of Benson's playing time ... Philly did it for Vick when they went to Atlanta, so who knows. I thought Benson would be a quality start in salary cap this week ... Hmmm.

tonorator Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 benson is still the man. lj gets the ball every 3rd series or so. if the bengals are up (and let's hope to god they are), then he could get some extra work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 While I'm sure LJ gets a bit of PT, I doubt he becomes the primary ball carrier for one day. Like Ton said, it depends more on how the game plays out for his final numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOARHOGZ Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Per Team Reports, I read this somewhere.... Â Â --RB Larry Johsnon is expected to see extensive playing time Sunday as he faces his former team, Kansas City, for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3xcrazy Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Bengals get a lead LJ will get more carries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Muto Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I see LJ scoring a TD in this game. Either they get up a decent amount and he scores late or they get near the goalline and want to give it to LJ for him to get to do a TD dance against KC.

BOARHOGZ Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Here's the deal, dude's been sitting on my bench all year.....I made it to the playoffs with a turd-cake of a team somehow, then won it last week because of the +5 point homefield advantage...I also managed to get a number 1 seed.....Now I'm playing for the marbles (all of them). I'm starting him. Got this far on gambles. If there's any week to start him, since he's become a mighty bengal, it's this week. Don't try to talk me down. Newcastle is my absolute favorite beer. Nut-Brown even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenthug Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Lewis could care less about giving a mid-season RB pickup "revenge" carries. If the Bengals are up big, LJ gets some work. But it won't be because Lewis wants to give LJ a crack at his old team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauders11 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 LJ could be this year's championship week "x" factor- I can easily see him scoring twice and getting 100 yds., my gut tells me he gets opportunity and delivers- Chargers locking up the 2 seed helps this scenario too I think, but it's for sure a desperation type play. Â thinking hard about rolling the dice on him over Bradshaw or Forsett, I have Bradshaw in now, talk me out of it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, LJ is a nice sleeper play this week and with Bradshaw not having enormous upside I can see why you'd want to give him a shot.

griff321 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Grasping at straws if you have that much hope for L.J. They're playing for their dvision title and this isn't exactly a high powered offense. They may use LJ just because of how much they will run but the absolute very best you can hope for is about 10 carries and none of those will be inside the 10.
