bucket Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Source: Bengals agree with Jackson By GEOFF HOBSONMarch 13, 20061:45 p.m. According to a NFL source, the Bengals have reached a four-year deal with Tampa Bay safety Dexter Jackson, their first free-agent of the offseason. No terms were available. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Well, this will make some people happy. Doesn't do much for me. Ohalete II, IMHO...hopefully I'm wrong. Quote
kingwilly Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 This will make Joisey cringe, but I am pretty stoked. He and Madieu will shore up an area that has been victimized by injury and talent deficiency.There is no bad aspect of bringing in a former SuperBowl MVP to a spot that has been a major weakness.Hooray for us!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!Tory - Dex - Madman - DelthaBengals SkyPatrol just got a new ACE. Quote
turningpoint Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 This does a ton for me, he's an older version of madieu, he played in he cover 2 in tampa and that's what we run here, pretty much. The man can cover and come up and make a sure tackle. This bolsters our secondary so much. Now all we need to do is draft one. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Well, this will make some people happy. Doesn't do much for me. Ohalete II, IMHO...hopefully I'm wrong.Boo. Milloy is s**tloads better than this weasel. Terrible signing IMO Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Shrug It's an OK signing, a vet with winning experience. Sounds like Marvin. I hope they draft one as well Quote

Milloy is s**tloads better than this weasel. Terrible signing IMOLMAO milloy is an in the box slow motherf**king safety, this guy is exactly what were not looking for, you need a safety that can cover, tackle and pick off the football, these are all skills Jackson has attained.

The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Shrug It's an OK signing, a vet with winning experience. Sounds like Marvin. I hope they draft one as wellThey will sign another safety, most likely in the draft because it's a great year for the position in the draft. Quote
skyline Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I'm definitely taking a wait-and-see attitude here. Seems like one that could go either way... Quote
Dirk Funk Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Not really sure how I feel. Why didn't we wait a bit longer? Hopefully we didn't give this guy a bunch of g-money. It seems that every year after the owners meetings and before the draft veteran players are cut. I believe that is when the Pats got Harrison for a bargin. Milloy was probably looking for too much cheese. Doesn't seem like he is the banger we had in mind. Anybody got a bio on this guy? Strengths/Weaknesses? However, so long as he can help cut down the long, long pass plays I am happy.We will take a TE in the 1st round. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I'm definitely taking a wait-and-see attitude here. Seems like one that could go either way...Well, first thing to hope for is that he can just get on the field. Injuries (back, hamstring) have limited Jackson to 17 games (12 starts) in the last two seasons. Quote

GROIIIDayton Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I still think we will take a CB in the first round. It seemd Jimmy Williams is falling down the board. Quote

Milloy had 106 total tackles 1 sack and 1 INT and played SS, which we needed. He is regarded still as one of the best safeties in the league. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I feel the same. Take it or leave it. I'm not happy, I'm not sad.I am feeling a little gassy though damn BK...WHODEY !!! Quote

kurgan74 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I am beginning to think that unless the Bengals get an additional pick in Round 3, we may not see the Bengals take a safety until round 4 at best (Dwayne Slay or Roman Harper?) I am beginning to believe the Bengals will go with Williams, Jacskon, Kaseveharn, and possibly Body as the 4 safties for 2006. Quote

I am beginning to believe the Bengals will go with Williams, Jacskon, Kaseveharn, and possibly Body as the 4 safties for 2006.Patrick Body is a CB.Mediocre signing here, more or less like the other moves we make, now we just have to wait for the hobson article about how this signing used up our remaining cap room and that no more free agents will be brought in. Quote
BTG Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Wait, we signed this guy (first four pics that pop up on Google image search.) I am beginning to think that unless the Bengals get an additional pick in Round 3, we may not see the Bengals take a safety until round 4 at best (Dwayne Slay or Roman Harper?)Slay is t-o-o s-l-o-w. Charlie Peprah will be there in the fourth. He's a player. Quote
HoTbOy Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I guess I was on the DJ bandwagon only because of experience and that he could cover and tackle, but when someone wrote he only had 30 tackles last year . I thought that whatever short comings he had would be addresed by Coyle. I think the same person said Milloy had a 106 tackles, and that was because Buffalo's run defense was so poor he was often the last line of defense, I live 60 miles away from B-lo and alot of there fans wanted to get rid of him because they say he can't cover anymore...

kingwilly Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 ...guys, Anthony Mitchell was a mediocre signing...Dexter Jackson, IMHO, can be a key piece of making the D complete. Quote

Injuries (back, hamstring) have limited Jackson to 17 games (12 starts) in the last two seasons.That's more than our starting safeties isn't it?Uhhh...no.Nate Herring 2 years, 12 games.Madieu Williams 2 years, 20 games.Ok, so Combined they have more starts than Jackson in the last two years. However, on AVERAGE, which is what I was refering to, they have fewer games in the last two seasons than Jackson. So, what's with the uhhhh... no? It's TRUE.

turningpoint Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Um he had 54 tacklesl ast year and 1 int and 1 sack, which is perfect for just playing 11 games.anyways here's the ESPn article.4 year 7.6 million, we got him for a steal compared to what everyone else is signing plays for, f**k the redskins just gave archuleta 5 million a year!http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2366753 Quote
GROIIIDayton Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Dexter jackson has been fighting injuries the past two seasons. If he can make it through the season without getting injured he will be good again. I bet we got him pretty reasonable with very little guarenteed money after the second year. Quote
