ArmyBengal Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 How bad do you have to suck to not make this team as a linebacker ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Marvin will have him come and live in his guest bedroom for the last 3 years of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Wasn't he a 3rd rounder? Maybe Tobin needs to retire. I can't remember the last LB who's actually worked out well here, not one, other than Burfict for 2 years, and of course he came with the cost of blowing a playoff game. Anyone can draft mediocre-to-bad LB's in the 4th, 5th and 6th rounds. I can do that. LB's drafted in the last 9 years alone, in order: Germaine Pratt (3rd rd) - haven't seen anything out of him yet Deshaun Davis (6 rd) - not sure if he's even on roster Malik Jefferson (3 rd) - gone already Nick Vigil (3 rd) - should be a #4-#5 guy at best and on ST's, but is a starter here, and is not good PJ Dawson (3rd rd) - gone, terrible Marquis Flowers (6th rd) - prob their best pick, but traded him as soon as he started playing a valid role, had one good year w/7 sacks for NE, then dropped-off the map Sean Porter (4th rd) - who? 2011 - Dontay Mach (3rd rd) - garbage, never played, long gone Roddrick Muckelroy (4th rd) - not sure if he ever made the roster, can't remember, says enough about him ------------------------ Of course Burfict was never drafted, but he was clearly their best addition. Nothing above a 3rd round pick, 90% busts at best. Who the hell thinks they can succeed in this league without drafting a single good LB in almost a decade? F'ing idiots.

ArmyBengal Posted September 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Amen Shula. Been talking about the lack of LB talent for years and years. Just their stupid approach. Meanwhile, even though it’s never good to give up a ton of picks. Somehow Khalil Mack went to the Bears and I haven’t heard anyone complain. Their defense is stout now due to that move. Our hopes and prayers fall on Germaine Pratt morphing into a first round talent and being an impact player. There sure aren’t any others in the position group.

COB Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I built a shrine to Germaine Pratt in the unused stall in my garage. It’s made of old paint cans and half full anti freeze jugs. I venerate it, pray to it, and prostrate myself before it on my Bengals prayer rug (a Bengals beach towel from 1987 that pissed my wife off so badly her divorce lawyer actually mentioned it at our final hearing). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Wow, COB that’s dedication. Really blows away my little shrine to Rey (an empty Captain Morgan bottle with a pic of a Chevy Sunfire stuffed inside it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
