  1. Well, sure, but if he shows promise this year, and knows he can get a deal elsewhere?

    I would see him sitting out and demanding to be released or traded. I just have a hard time seeing a 1st round person being satisfied as a backup for 4 years.

    Now, as for the Bengals...then yeah...you'd want him to play backup for 4 years without a hitch. That'd be ideal. I just don't see it happening.

    Of course, if he doesn't show much, keeps having injury problems, etc., then I guess he'll be grateful for the deal he currently has...

  2. I will give Mikie some credit for his part in this signing, but I believe Marvin truly was the driving force to see the opportunity, and then make it happen! :player:

    Alright Billy...

    Next time something bad happens, I don't want to see you automatically assign the blame to Mike Brown!

    Nothing personal directed at you...I just hate seeing people blame Mike Brown for every bad thing, and then turn around and praise Marvin for all that is good.

  3. I'm happy to see this as well. Good move.

    Don't get too excited, though. This guy is hardly a dominant force. Just an improvement over what we currently have. I'm hopeful that Askew will be able to take over the starting role by the end of the year, or the start of next season...

  4. I thought Marvin said no comment to the Weathersby situation.

    The Dayton paper reported that on their own, I believe.

    I doubt the Dayton paper would make up a story like that out of the clear blue sky. Far more likely is Marvin felt that at some point during that evening he was speaking off the record when the original remarks were made and now refuses to comment further.

    Oh, I don't think that they made it up. I just thought they got the info from another source.

    Anyway, not important...not sure why I even brought that up, haha.

  5. You may be on to something, but we've been hearing alot of medical related news of late....including Marvin picking this week to mention the news about Weathersby. Perhaps he's simply taken the pulse of his team and determined that it's time to for some players to hear the hard truth.

  6. There's an article on bengals.com this morning about how Sharper is interested in playing for Marvin again.

    Another one of those, too good to actually happen stories, but it's the first new thing I've seen on bengals.com in a few days, so I got excited :lol:

  7. Even if the lbs we look at are good fits in a 3-4 scheme, I don't think that's why Marvin would go after them. If you have a linebacker that can play the 3-4, shouldn't they also have no problem in a 4-3? Knowing Marvin, I would guess he's looking for good players, period.

  8. My take:

    The Bengals won't trade Rudi. He's here for one year. They also won't sign him long-term yet. If Perry comes on strong this year, then he's gone. If not, then they'll get a long-term deal done either next offseason or during this season. Unless of course, Rudi insists on testing the market.
