Geno Atkins of the Bengals tore his ACL in last nights game. Thats going to be a huge loss for the Bengals. He was turning into one of the best DL in the league. He wasnt even rolled onto. Just planted his foot while an OL was pushing against him and he went down.

there are a lot of times where acl injuries look like turf gremlins. dude just collapses -> ACL. like when jansen just stopped in the open field and fell down.

I think I recall Pierson Prioleau on opening kickoff of 1st game of a season his knee gave way on our turf.

Sucks for Atkins and the bengals Defense losing teir CB too. Sucks for the fans who want to see January football.

Cincy blown 2 double digits leads of late, they got more problems than just losing Atkins.

I don't think Dalton is a franchise QB

Finally a good NFLN game, although I ran out of gas and missed the ending.

This league is so soft nowadays. What is he going to develop an eating disorder? Still, probably would be an upgrade over Tyler.

Dalton is a good QB, but I agree that he isnt a franchise QB. He has most of the tools necessary except the strong arm. I think Green makes him better than he is since he has won quite a few jump balls for him, but he cant throw deep that well and he doesnt throw the out patterns well. Easy to jump those from him due to arm strength. He makes good reads and good decisions, but I think he will end up like Hasselbeck, an above average QB but not a great one.

Re: Around the NFL Week 9
 

The thing I like about Dalton is he's not afraid to keep slinging it even when he's having an off game. That 3rd INT wasn't on him but the pick 6 was definitely bad ball placement.

It begs the question, Why do they bully him so?

Yeah Hasselbeck is a good comparison. Gutsy and heady guy, but doesn't necessarily have the greatest physical tools.

Please don't tell me you don't want him on the team, just because he couldn't take the bullying?

I think this says lot about Miami team, no one tried to stand up for him and stop the bullying? Come on, it's just as if they all are teenagers :doh:
