Greatest Bengal Short Timer

Steven Jackson

Chris Johnson

Maurice Jones-Drew

Cedric Benson

This is very true.  Not only was he a punishing back that opened up play action, but he had a bit of an attitude that I believe rubs off on a team.  When you have a tough RB, you become a tougher offense.  I am hoping Mixon can continue on his late season ascent.  



My fav short termer was the most dominant CB I have ever seen in stripes. Deltha O'Neal.  Teams would intentionally avoid his side of the field, then he would get one opportunity and he would pick it off.  Man, that guy was on fire when he joined Cincy.  

If the rest of the defense around him was better, we might have had something.  

For REALLY short termer, like in terms of playing time, etc, I would go with DeDe Dorsey.  Blocked a punt for a TD and was promptly benched.  Took a screen pass 80 yards and never saw another target that game.  I just didn't get it, but he was stunning whenever he had the ball.
