Kazkal Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 how about bringing in LeCharles Bentley then moving our youngins to guard Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 how about bringing in LeCharles Bentley then moving our youngins to guardIf we could afford him, that would rock and we would have backup in case for some reason we can't get certain others to sign. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Have to agree having Bentley would be HUGE for our offensive line, but the pro-bowler will be getting top dollar. I don't think the Bengals would be able to be a player is getting Bentley's services.WHODEY !!! Quote

I don't think the Bengals would be able to be a player is getting Bentley's services.WHODEY !!!The Eagles have said that Bentley is their top guy this year and pretty much were waiting for the new deal to be settled before they could wip out cash for him. He will be an Eagle, and he wants to be an Eagle. He should be signed Saturday at 12:01 am. Eagles won't let him go. Quote
Stripes Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 I'm not really interested in Bentley at all. Sure he's great, but we don't need him. Braham is fine, as are the youngsters behind him. I'm not really interested in any offensive free agents at all. Gimme a safety or an end in FA. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 I would like to see us pursue Darren Howard. I am not sure if everyone feels the same, but Howard is a great player and would help our pass rush immensly. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Howard is the typical underachiever in New Orleans. He would probably do well with a change of scenery and I'm sure Marvin could find the proper motivation for him. I'm all for giving him a shot...WHODEY !!! Quote
Stripes Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Howard would be fine by me, even though I don't usually like going after older veterans. Agreed with Army, we could give him a shot for the right price. Quote

He would probably do well with a change of scenery and I'm sure Marvin could find the proper motivation for him. I'm all for giving him a shot...WHODEY !!!I don't think he underachieved. He did well in his first couple of seasons including winning DROY. He had double digit sacks twice, had 6 once, and 8. His worst seasons were last year with only 3.5 sacks and 2003 with 5 sacks. But maybe with new scenery he could re-elivate his game to what it was. I think its funny becuase last year he had 3.5 sacks, and that is more than 90% of our defensive players had. And it was an "horrible" year for Howard.Mikey BRING HIM IN!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Kazkal Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I woulden't mind seeing bengals bring in Tim Dwight for punt returner/WR depth incase henry doesn't play he probbley would be towards league min Quote

Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I woulden't mind seeing bengals bring in Tim Dwight for punt returner/WR depth incase henry doesn't play he probbley would be towards league minHell yes, Tim Dwight would be like the Best Signing ever. I would def. get that jersey Quote
Kazkal Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Hey don't hate on dwight he's a decent receiver and would just be here for special teams /sniff Quote
Stripes Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I wouldn't mind grabbing Dwight... He's got the experience and the versatility to have success anywhere he goes. We could use his return skills if Tab were to go down, and he is a decent receiver too as Kaz said. Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I think my top target is Ryan Pickett. Dude is a monster at DT. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I think my top target is Ryan Pickett. Dude is a monster at DT. I was wondering why his name hadn't been floated around here more. I think he would be huge for us as well. I say bring him in !!!WHODEY !!! Quote

I was wondering why his name hadn't been floated around here more. I think he would be huge for us as well. I say bring him in !!!WHODEY !!!Honestly, I wasn't floating his name around for one simple reason.... I really really want him, and I didn't want to jinx the chances by floating his name around. But, the cat's out of the bag! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 LET THAT JOKER LOOSE !!!!I would love to have him as well... Thinking dollars will be the downfall in this one as well though... WHODEY !!! Quote

WHODEY !!!Pickett is a semi local guy too. He may not get as much cash as he'd like due to the fact that until this year he hadn't really done well at all. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 How about this...We sign Darren Howard, Ryan Pickett, and Sam Adams?Can't say that is a bad deal Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 How about this...We sign Darren Howard, Ryan Pickett, and Sam Adams?Can't say that is a bad dealSure I can. It's too much money! Besides, Adams is a has been. He's the next Sapp..... Quote
