membengal Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yeah, home run, Bengals. Really glad to see Pressly make the squad, along with McDonald. Hell, all of them. I am a bit stunned at the logic of some of their moves in the last 72 hours. They make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwalling Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I like everything about this squad. I hope we don't lose any of them, particularly Shirley, Skuta or Lynch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Surprised James Johnson made it threw waivers...Kinda sad Fui didn't make it Guess they only wanted one FB on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaBran Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Did Fui get picked up or did we just not want him anymore? What's with the waiver wire? Are we gonna stand pat and do nothing? I hope we bring in another TE to replace Foschi, dude is garbage! I pray we bring in either or both former Cincy Bearcat corners DeAngelo Smith or Mike Mickens, please!!!

Pidge Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Great squad. I echo mem's sentiments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePong Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Glad we were able to keep Shirley and McDonald. I think they both have potential. Pressley may develop in good blocking FB, but he's very one-dimensional and kind of stiff. I have liked Purify ever since he came out of Nebraska. I wonder if any of the guys were not named to the practice squad because they got picked by other teams, or are exploring opportunities with other teams instead of agreeing to be on the bengals practice squad...guys like Fui or Fredie Brown.

JoePong Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hopefully they can stay,Sad to see Fui didn't make it...Don't really care about keeping Fui. What was going to do for us? He sort of a combo RB/FB. We don't need him at RB since we have plenty of better runners. And he is not a true blocking FB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Marvin white got picked up by the Cowboys.We get Roy Williams they get Marvin White....Works for me I do hope he can continue a good career.Don't really care about keeping Fui. What was going to do for us? He sort of a combo RB/FB. We don't need him at RB since we have plenty of better runners. And he is not a true blocking FB.To continue to develop him as a blocker,because if he could block like Pressley did I'd have no question about him making it but fullback was new position he was a RB in college.

JoePong Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Marvin white got picked up by the Cowboys.Good luck to him, especially the way he came back from the knee injury. He ended up being the only player of any consequence that we were unable to keep. Dallas is a good fit for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Bengal Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 According to hobson, it doesn't sound as like we made any waiver claims. I would of liked them to try and get Mccaugley from Minnesota but, the Lions are using the number one waiver spot to claim all kinds of players.

He sort of a combo idiot/annoyance. We don't need him as an idiot since we have plenty of better idiots. And he is not a true bitching annoyance.

TJJackson Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 As many RBs as we have, I am very surprised that we put one of the PSI would have liked to have seen Fui on the PS, very surprised he isn't. Nothing against JJ, just would rather have had Fui - we all (except maybe Agreen) need a little vakapuna sometimesI also am suprised that we kept another S, and would expect that if the opportunity arises, we'll replace the S with a CB. Again, nothing against Mr Lynch, who seems like a heckuva nice person, just think with the team's defensive backfield skewed towards S over CB, we'd keep a CB on the PSOne guess for two weeks from now - Mathis is listed as the third C, I think he will be waived and added to the PS when Andre Smith is added to the regular roster, and I'd guess they will drop Lynch or Darius Hill at that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me in what world Evan Mathis, who has spent quite a bit of time as an NFL starter, is eligible for the practice squad. Please use a little intelligence.

JoePong Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 For those who don't follow/know much about the NFL, Evan Mathis is going into his 5th season in the NFL, I believe, and was a starter for the Carolina Panthers for an entire season. He plays G, and also fill in at C and even tackle from what I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yep, my bad.He is definitely not eligible for the PSI mistook him for another individual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
