JonFnKitna Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 from bengals.comno word on the length or size, but he has agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-U-D-I Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good move. Now lets get a guard and some top CB and DT in the draft and will be looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well that's definitely some good news. Secondary starting to shape up. A safety will probably still be drafted, but probably not as high now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat Bengal Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good....the Safety position looks good to me....I feel comfortable with Herring and Beckett..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin's Maniax Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I love the safety position this year. I think that with these 2 flowing around with Webster the defense is definitley improved aginst the ground attack. Still need help at corner because Herring and Beckett aren't the greatest cover guys in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good....the Safety position looks good to me....I feel comfortable with Herring and Beckett..... Make that a double, bartender!Best news of FA so far, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarian Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Solid Safety signings. That just made the Bungles' Offseason a little better than dismal.I like seeing Herring and Beckett signed though.Like I said--SOLID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brew Man Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Is it true, some good news from the FA front lines? Good move.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonFnKitna Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 ESPN reports its a 3 year deal, still no word on the cash he got. I Expect the salary and bonus to be comparable to the deal Herring got though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Signing Beckett back is good, but not great. He was the same safety that allowed many passes get past him contributed to the poor defense in 2003. He's a great run stopper, but he drastically needs to improve his pass coverage skills!

jditty47 Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 i still have a bad taste in my mouth because we are unable to sign anybody that is a huge improvement at a position from last year, we are only able to sign people that either played for the bengals or played for one of the coaches. (webster and herring arent big time improvements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Signing Beckett back is good, but not great. He was the same safety that allowed many passes get past him contributed to the poor defense in 2003. He's a great run stopper, but he drastically needs to improve his pass coverage skills! No doubt Beckett can still improve, but the big reason I like resigning him is that he's demonstrated he can improve. If you look at his numbers last year versus his career numbers over 4 seasons, he got something like 1/3 of all his tackles, 1/2 his INTs, 3/4 of his sacks & 1/4 of his FFs last year. If he can take the same kind of step up again this year, he'd become a very solid safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah, I guess I'm in a stat mood today.. would like to see our starters put up some good turnover numbers this year.Weathersby- 3-6 picks.Herring - 4-7 picks.Beckett - 4-7 picks.James - 5-7 picks.------------------------------and the backups and linebackers add another 6- 12. All of this because we should improve our pass rush in the draft.--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaynero Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 DT or DE for our first pick wouldn't be a bad idea. Great DL and average secondary still makes a defense great. Granted I hope we get a CB in second round. Hopefully Marvin and the rest of the coaching staff will pick up a steal just like in last years draft.

chrishcovga Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Yeah I agree Blaynero, Would love to see Cincy' grab Udeze or Will Smith in round 1., and then Donnell Washington or Mathias Askew maybe in round 2. Round 3 ---may just end up having 3 picks in it with the possible trade of Corey Dillon, and the "compensation" pick we'll get from Takeo Spikes.Round 3. could look like, Alex Stepanovich,Keiwan Ratliff,Maurice Clarett or Michael Turner.
