DE and DT left


volcom69

Recommended Posts

I just saw Gary Walker got relesed from the texans i dont know how hes been latley but he was pretty good. So what other DE or DT is left that could help them i didnt mind the jackson signing but i sure hope they got to get someone to help with the passrush and to help stop the run. Just wondering did Julian Peterson go anywhere yet he is one of my fav players always liked him just wondering if he went anywhere. Who do u say they should go after.

You know who I think might be on the market soon, and that same market just might finally be perfect for teh Bengals cause so many teams will be spent out...............Kris Jenkins :D

Seriously, why have the Panthers signed not one, but two DT's to high priced deals.

I know he's been injury prone and had a drinking problem, and this wouldn't be the first time I've been called a dreamer, but it looks fishy down there in Carolina, and I'm not talking about the cheerleaders! BING! :P

Dolphins | Team still in the running for Adams

Mon, 13 Mar 2006 18:43:17 -0800

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports free agent DT Sam Adams (Bills) has narrowed his choice of teams to the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals.

Y'know, ya gotta hand it to Sam. He's still tryin'. C'mon, Marvin! Gimme some leverage here! Miami is the only visit he's had and all the "Bengals interest" I've seen has originated from either Sam or his agent.

I agree. He's not interested in us. HE'S JUST USING US! Forget about Sam.

Forget about Grady Jackson. He is not athletic enough for this defense. There is no one out there right now that would be a major upgrade. I know that many are not happy with BRob and JT but they are average and thats about what is left on the DT market. Average.

Our DT's don't need to be athletic...they just need to plug up the holes in the line. In other words, GET SAM ADAMS.

I would not mind Sam -- if the Bengals were prepared to do what it takes to make him most effective, namely get a big ol' mofo (like Grady or Gabe Watson in the draft) to put next to him. Otherwise he will struggle just like Thornton, IMHO. And Marvin has consistently oppposed this "big fatty" theory. Maybe that's changed and the Bengals are flying way under the radar on this one, but I can't see anything but the leverage angle being played here.

That is the biggest reason I don't think we'll be getting Sam Adams. I've seen no signs to suggest that Marvin plans on changing his philosophy on the defensive line any time soon, and he would have to do so for Adams to be a good fit. I expect us to draft a DT on the first day, but am not holding my breath for any of the free agent names I am seeing.

Can't see it. With the Dexter Jackson signing freeing up their draft options I see the Bengals odds increasing that they'll target a DT high in the draft. No doubt that's the way they wanted to play it from the start.

Forget Sam Adams. All he'll do is break the toilets at PBS.

The next FA target will be Jamie Martin, and I see 'em getting it done...a move that will piss off the very same people who complain when nobody is signed.

If they sign Jamie Martin, they will need to get Centrum Silver to but a luxury box....it's a great time to be silver, Jamie.

they simply cannot sign Martin...

Don't sweat it. Latest reports say they have Chris Redman on the hook...

(no, I'm not joking...)

Because Marvin has consistently oppposed the "big fatty" theory, I tend to think that Rocky Bernard would be more Marvin's style than Adams, Grady, or Watson.

Wow you guys didnt know that Marvin said he wanted a big 335 guy. In the interview he sounded quite intent. So why wouldnt Adams fit. they need somebaody to rotatae with Smith. He might be to pricey for us.If we truly are looking for a rotation guy.

love to see this interview.
