Should the Bengals-Browns game have ended in a tie?

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:14:56 -0500

On Sunday, the field goal pictured above gave the Cincinnati Bengals a last-second overtime victory over the Cleveland Browns. It appeared pretty routine at the time. Shayne Graham(notes) booted it through the uprights, the officials positioned under the goalpost raised their hands to signal the kick was good, the Bengals celebrated, the Browns sulked and Rich Gannon was disappointed there was no kickoff afterward. But now, five days later, the validity of the kick is coming into question. Br...

Rob Ryan: Graham’s Field Goal Looked Wide

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:00:18 -0500

I’m a bit surprised that this took this long to hit the press, but I’m not surprised that it did. In fact, several commenters in the open thread this past Sunday voiced the same issue: Shayne Graham’s overtime field goal was wide right. After having one blocked earlier in the game, and getting stuffed on what would [...]

Make an extra point in a preseason game and the world beats a path to your door. Who knew? Right, Shayne Graham? Chad Ochocinco’s difference-making boot (h/t Bill Belichick) has probably done more to rehab The Ocho’s image than anything else he has said or done since the start of the year. Even the whole name change [...]

With kicker Shayne Graham sidelined with groin injury the Bengals called on Ocho Cinco to kick the extra point and put the Bengals ahead 7-6 in the first half of tonite's pre-season game. Little did we know it would be the decisive point and add one of the funnest moment in Bengals pre-season history. Here are my other quick hit thoughts on tonite's game: The Good: - Ocho Cinco's kick. He actually showed the distance to kick into the 30s and may have found himself called upon...

Catching Up

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:38:41 -0500

It's been great getting into camp and trying to catch up to my teammates. I was definitely greated with some light hearted humor when I walked in for my first day. I had to wait for Coach Lewis to come out of a meeting and since I had been out for awhile Shayne Graham walked up and said "Hi, I'm Shayne Graham." I ran into a few things like that. it was all funny. I could definitely tell I had some catching up to do - I arrived for the last day of two-a-days and I started cramping a little bit. They had all been through that already. I'm just glad to back with all the guys. I've been getting some extra work in each day, 15-20 minutes on the field with Coach FitzGerald. We've been working with the tight ends on some blocks - setting the edge with the block, holding a firm edge and getting off the block, really becoming a two-way player. It's stuff both the SAM and WILL backers have to do so it helps my versatility too. Depending on the schedule I'll try to get a little extra film work in too, but mainly I'm staying in the playbook a little more. It's coming along. I'm definitely feeling more comfortable each day.
