Bravo to them!
Was just wondering, since T&T were #4 and #5, who was the #3 guy?

Archer before the cut ?
Great point...but this board will still piss and moan about Tombert...
Oh yeah. Forgot about that gentleman already.
But you can't really be ahead of guys on the depth chart, technically, if they cut your *** and promote those same guys...can you?

Toussant and Todman have skills.
The cut Todman made early in the game was about as good as what we've seen from Bell and Williams.
They're not Bell and Williams, but they've proven to be good enough for the offense to function.

No, I think he just meant that our plan all along (however silly or misguided it was) was to rely on Archer as a RB option. Makes me SMH to think about it now.

Which one??? Seem both talking heads had nothing but dumbass comments..............
Salute the nation
Yeah, TnT both made some nice cuts on a slippery field...they must be learning from the best. Very pleasantly surprised on their performance, and confident they can get the job done going forward.
Don't forget our 4th QB. Ben has always been 1. Gradkowski was No.2. Then, Vick was No. 3 and finally, Jones, at No. 4 supplanted Vick. We played with our 4th string QB, at times this year and no one remembers that fact.

Jordan and Toussaint
The Steelers had 167 yards rushing. Okay -- 44 of them came from Bryant, but I think these two proved themselves in a road playoff game.
Todman is very quick and fast with some instincts. He reminded me at times of a poor man's Willie Parker
Toussaint is more of one-cut power runner.
I'm not sure if it's just easier to run the ball on Pittsburgh, or if these two are actually decent NFL RB's. Perhaps a bit of both.

What's the over/under on threads started by Coach today?
Seriously though, it will be much tougher to run against Denver (we had no success last time) because the Broncos play with just one high safety and put the other 10 defenders with 5-6 yards of the LOS while the Bengals are pretty content to man-to-man with 2 high safeties. I'm sure Denver will be aggressive as heck given that Ben's shoulder is not going to be 100%. Of course, we should do the same against Peyton.

I was impressed with Toussaint's hands. That one catch he made was impressive had to turn the other way and catch it over the shoulder. Their running abilities are OK, but their blocking and hands seem NFL worthy.

Agree with you here Coach that these two met the challenge and its nice to know we have quality depth at RB. So if Williams is ready we have a very formidable running attack. All three can catch and pick up YAC too.
They both did very well, Toussaint seems to be alittle more of a complete back, but much like the Baltimore game, Cincy wasn't playing much run defense, they were protecting against anything deep, which is fine, but much like the Baltimore game, we go so enamored with the run game, seemed like very first down was a running play, it killed alot of clock but produced very few points. I'd rather see us dictate what we do on offense, instead of letting the defense dictate what we do. Our best bet is still throwing the ball, I'd rather get the passing game in sync early, even if it's shorter routes, Brown, Wheaton, and Bryant have all shown to be dangerous in the open field.
The good news is that the Broncos play the kind of defense that are passing game typically scorches. The bad news is that the Broncos are probably that best in playing that type of D. We will need huge performances from our 3-headed monster at WR and Ben.
Yep and not sure how Bens shoulder will be, what worries me is that our Oline has been a little shaky lately in pass protection.
Cincy has a good pass rush (42 sacks in the regular season), and sacked Ben 3 times. 2 of those involved the classic "Ben holding the ball" because the Bungles had good pass coverage.
The pass protection was pretty darn good, in my view.
AV had a really good game.
Because Archer and his 166 pg thread are legendary here.
