Opal312 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 We always knew he was much more than just a punt returner. He's healthy now and has FOUR TDs in two games tied with Gronk. I sure hope Pettine is going to ride the hot hand with Manziel and Benjamin. We can win a lot of games with that duo, our defense and Crowell.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm eating my crow on him. Looked like much more than a one-dimensional return man today. Solid to exceptional play all around for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me rephrase - which former Brown did well this week? Or last week? Or last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal312 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 And I thought I heard talk after the draft he might not make the team? I will eat crow if Manziel turns out to be the franchise QB. I wanted Garapollo or Blake Bortles who's done Zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 as awesome as those returns are, am i the only one who cringes everytime the gunners converge on him? He's basically become our #1 so watching him approach that oncoming train has me nervous everytime. I hope at least he's been told under no circumstances are you to try that spin move again...cause he got hit in mid spin last time which is what tore the fuck out of his knee. Love the Manziel Benjamin connection brewing, don't want to see that derailed by him taking a grenade on a punt return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbackbrownie2 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Exactly. I was nervous too. Don't we have someone else,to be our return guy?

htownbrown Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm happy I was dead wrong about Benji, to this point. I wish JG was here to catch some bombs. I would feel so much better about giving JFF the keys to the car if there was a little more horsepower. This team is one beer away from being explosive.

LondonBrown Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 And now teams are wise to his deep threat, the smaller guys like Hawk and Gabriel should get more space in the middle of the field, Benji is a great weapon to have for many reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 He had a good day. His fingertip catch for the first TD was because he lost track of the ball, though. Probably a bit harsh, but that's the way I saw it. Let's wait, see if he ends the season with 15 TDs, or if he's hit his limit. I hope it's the former, though I struggle to envisage Travis Benjamin joining the elite receivers and getting a Julio Jones contract (he's in a contract year)!

I would feel so much better about giving JFF the keys to the car if there was a little more horsepower. This team is one beer away from being explosive. The keys to the car and more horsepower is getting in sync with the other weapons. Benji is JM's bread & Butter but 2 Bombs & A Punt Return is no winning recipe weekly. Fixing Balls late and a tick behind other weapons may lead to that explosion. Big steps from Week 1 Offensively but better Defenses looming on schedule ahead.
