The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 When you really look at it, we only have 2 safeties on the team, Madieu and KK. I don't count Herring or Ohaletusdown as being on the roster, and I doubt Marvin does either. Quote

I don't count Herring or Ohaletusdown as being on the roster, and I doubt Marvin does either.I agree the safety position is very thin to say the least....Id like to see them draft a versatile player who can play both the safety and corner positions if possible.Looking at the potential draft I see Jason Allen as a complete player that can play either position and How about Donte Witner? Isnt he versatile too??? Quote

Isnt he versatile too??? I saw a mock draft the other day with the Bengals taking Witner...Is Indiana Jones starting material or special team player? I work with a Rams fan and he says that AA isn't the same...I thought he was just mad because AA was a FA and we need a safety.. Quote
walshfan Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 I watched Witner play some this past season and he looks like a good player... How that translate into a starter in the NFL I dont know...Im not completely sold on him as I am about Allen or Ko Simpson at the safety spot.... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Don't get me wrong, I am a strong advocate of drafting a Safety if not two, but am looking forward to see what Indiana Jones does in camp. The team was big on him last year. Just curious more than anything. Can he be worse than OhIsuckalote ?? If so, what the hell is he still doing here ??WHODEY !!! Quote
walshfan Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Jones may blossom but do the Bengals chance it? What if he doenst and is no more than a ST player? Ohalete is possibly the worst safety they ever had starting so to compare anyone to him is not a good thing.. Quote

blueridge Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 A corner that would be a great fit seems to be Jason Allen... fast and has healed from his injury.... I still like the athleticism and all around play of a Ko Simpson though..He'd be a good pickup in the secondary.... How about Donte Witner too?Ko Simpson played last season as a red-shirt freshman. He's not ready for the NFL. Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Anthony Mitchell?Tony Bua?Young practice squadish fodder who are only around because they are low paid special teams players. Quote

I still like the athleticism and all around play of a Ko Simpson though..He'd be a good pickup in the secondary.... How about Donte Witner too?Ko Simpson played last season as a red-shirt freshman. He's not ready for the NFL. He was actually a sophomore... Granted, he will have the inexperience issue you are alluding to, but I don't expect it to be a large problem for him.Simpson was a first-team, All-SEC selection at rover in 2005 after finishing as the leading tackler among the conference’s defensive backs. The 22-year-old Simpson is a sophomore, but eligible for the draft because he is at least 21 and has been out of high school for three years.Link Quote
TJJackson Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Anthony Mitchell?Tony Bua?Young practice squadish fodder who are only around because they are low paid special teams players.But on the roster and listed as safeties, nonetheless :-)With Herana-Daze waiting in the wings Quote
Spain Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Hey you guys didnt here the hype? M Williams is like having afirst rounder. Prepare for a free agent signing and a second day pick. Which havent been that bad. They are happy with KK. He did a damn good job. Hard to believe. He has made the dime and long nickel packages. The D line or OG . Is what it looks to me. I bet we trade down.IMHO. Quote

HoosierCat Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Memo from the "fuggedaboudit" file:Redskins | Team was scheduled to meet with ArchuletaThu, 9 Mar 2006 19:52:15 -0800ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports free agent S Adam Archuleta (Rams), who will become an unrestricted free agent, was prepared to visit the Washington Redskins on the first day of free agency, but had to cancel his trip when free agency was delayed.His High(spending)ness would like a word, Adam... Quote
HairOnFire Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Toldja. The Redskins are still 7 million over the salary cap, but the new CBA means they just got a get-out-of-jail-free card instead of being handed a past due bill. All of the sudden they're free agent players again, and if they really want Archuleta they'll outbid other teams without thinking twice. Quote

Thanks to him, other teams don't get the free agents they need either, and he can't figure out what to do with them when he has them. Quote
NJ29 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 On the Bengals.com front page, it says that Sage Rosenfels and Dexter Jackson have both visited. It got me thinking, what affect could this have on the offseason?If we signed Jackson, the safety position would be taken care of. We would need to take a safety for depth early on day 2, but that's about all. It would free us up to take a defensive tackle like Bunk or Watson, a corner like Joseph or Cromartie, or a defensive end like Kiwanuka in the first round. It could also allow us to take a tight end in round 2 or maybe even a guy like McClover. It completely opens up the offseason. I hope that Mikey and Marvin get it done. Quote
derekshank Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Nope on the DT. We are taking a CB in the first round... at least that is what I'm hoping for. I don't want a 1st round DT. There is no one there that wouldn't be a reach... and DT's are often busts. I much rather take a DT later on the first day.If we don't take a CB, I hope it is because Tamba Hali dropped to us. Quote
cincy9275 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 bengals.com is reporting dexter jackson will be in cincy tomorrowi waited and waited to post this link becasue i knew as so as i did someone else would . feel free to delete post Quote
