Watch for Skyler Green ...wideout, kick or punt returns, special teams.. he's got a chance.

I agree on the cuts especially Bryan Robinson...

[BengalPappaw]

IMO If Skyler Green can do what he did in college---Skyler Green makes the team and Antonio Chatman is cut -- Chatman is injuried too much.

Fixed....

[kingwilly]

Good predictions.

Here are my thoughts:

Rowe goes to PS. We don't need 3 QB's...we do need 5 CB's

Which means we keep a Brooks or TJ Wright? Brooks has had some chance but keeps getting dinged up. Maybe Adams.

I think we carry one less S as well, probably Jones, and add an LB, probably Everett.

Back to the O, I think we give Chatman the cut, too much hurt time. I could see Green getting some chances. The rest looks reasonable to me.

Man, this offseason took forever.

Title changed to reflect your intent.

I'm pretty sure the Bengals are looking at Ethan Kilmer as a CB/S. That's why I have him listed as a DB, not a S.

As for Chatman, his injury in the first day of camp does put his spot in jeopardy. It gives others, like Green, the opportunity to prove how useful they can be. Between Green and Brazell the Bengals could have some blazing speed.

Also, I made this about a week and a half ago and updated it slightly to reflect Odell's suspension.

Oh, and, thanks for fixing the title guys!

[jjakq27]

F. Rucker

So is Frostee's mom known as the Mother of F.Rucker?

I am sorry but I couldn't help it. His named jumped off the page in Hoosier's post.

Sorry.....

[Kazkal]

List looks good.

Which means we keep a Brooks or TJ Wright? Brooks has had some chance but keeps getting dinged up. Maybe Adams.

He has 10 DB's listed with several safety's who can play CB (Kilmer has been praised for his play and madieu.)The reason we'll keep more S's is because their better ST players then our CB's.

[GapControl]

any chance that McNeal is slotted as the Inactive 3rd QB and Rowe goes to the PS? I think under the rules it allows for Mcneal to be used as a WR or ST player on game days. If injury occured during the week, Rowe could be moved from the PS and McNeal cut.

The team has said from day one that McNeal will be a WR not a QB, so I think that is kind of out of the question. Plus, with McNeal's lack of character last season (hanging around the wrong crowd) along with the hard work of other receivers on the team (Brazell, Green, Perry) McNeal's chances look slim to me.

[GregCook]

The standouts from these projections is the Bengals have young, talented NFL players starting on defense. Yesteryears they had old, declining barely-NFL players starting. Talents improving on defense, I think Pollack and Odell just set us back one year. The story this year won't be Cincy in the slammer but Cincy on D.

[BengalszoneBilly]

The story this year won't be Cincy in the slammer but Cincy on D.

That would ROCK for such a change in our defenses fortunes, but I'm going to maintain my "wait and see" position until then.

[HairOnFire]

First casualty?

BROOKS CUT: Just before Monday's practice the Bengals waived cornerback Greg Brooks. Brooks, healthy enough to play in only 16 games in three seasons, failed a physical and he never made it to camp this season. A sixth-round draft pick in 2004 out of Southen Mississippi, Brooks always impressed the coaches with his man-to-man skills, but he could never stay on the field.

[HoosierCat]

I kinda wondered if that wasn't coming; after I read he came into camp hurt with some non-football injury I swapped him out for HD Jones in my lineup (see above). Too bad.
