Quote:I always thought he was a case of being on the wrong team. He became good shortly after being traded to Cincinnati. We were all too hard on him because poor coaching was his biggest problem.


I loved seeing Reggie fight for the ball on his interception. That is much better than Adam Jones getting a bad pass from a player performance point of view.

Adam Jones completely baited/fooled Manning on that play. You could hear Manning call out #24 before the snap, thinking Jones was blitzing. It was not a bad pass. It was an excellent play by Adam Jones.


The Reggie Nelson INT was the bad pass. Manning threw it way behind the receiver, which allowed Nelson to get to the ball like he did. Nelson did do a heck of a job fighting for it though.
