Looks like Jimmy Clausen't first start is going to be a wet one

[Davidson Deac II]

Predictions are for anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain over the next 2 days, with a nice 12-15 mph wind to go along with it. If the forecast holds true, its going to be one ugly game tomorrow.

So does the rain help or hurt us? My guess is that if the rain and wind will make passing difficult, it helps us more than it does the Bengals. Our run defense is the one area of our team that is doing pretty well, while Cincy is giving up nearly 5 yards a carry.

And yes, I screwed the thread title up.

a wet jimmy makes it easier to go in and score

Good because dry ones would make doubles penetration pretty impossible.

Get it? Get it? Doubles....PENETRATION? Get it?

jokes aren't funny if you have to explain them.

AH poo I hate to be negative nancy but that means about 3 fumbled exchanges, or Jimmy might just be a gamer and step in and straight shine. He does have it out for 31 teams that laughed at him in the draft.

My 1st time it was pretty wet and I did terrible.

We need the rain so badly I don't care if the players have to swim to the end zone.

[DudeNamedJeremy]

well if were talking swimming its a good thing we don't play the saints this week since they would have the advantage there

our passing game right now is so terrible that it actually hurts us.

Cincy has a quality passing game that it will be downgraded to crappy/mediocre in the rain.

We have a crappy/mediocre passing game that will be down graded to absa-freaking-horrible a.k.a. nonexistent.

They will stack the box and make running the ball very difficult.

Clausen could change things but for now I don't know what it's going to be like.
