derekshank Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 If I had to guess I'd say:DE'sJustin SmithRobert GeathersFrostee Rucker Jonathon Fanene DT/DE tweenerBryan Robinson DT'sSam AdamsShaun SmithDomata PekoMatthias AskewThornton wuold not be happy here, because he wouldn't get much playing time. I don't know if Marvin's ready to give up on Askew, and since JT would be upset, and costs more, we probably let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 wonder if bills would want him /evil grinYa theres reason why marvins kept askew this whole time and think yer right about JT being unhappy + it helps us with signing our linemenPS,Wonder how many LB's counting we have 9atm1.)B.simmons2.)Landon Johnson3.)David Pollack4.)Wilkins5.)Cfl Guy aka Jeanty, Rashad 6.)odell thurman7.)Navies8.(Caleb Miller9.)AJ nicholsonmy guess CFL guy will probbley get the axe but I wonder who else could be caleb? though hes one of our special team studs led team last year once he returned...or mybe wilkins or naives? only time will tell I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Askew sucks his thumb guys no way he makes this team. Unles my homosexual theory about him and Marvin is true. For me this would be a nice spot to target in the second round of FAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I have to think Askew is on the bubble.I wouldn't be shocked to see Shaun Smith cut. P*ssed, yes, but not shocked. Langston played decently in 2004 and they still booted him.Robinson did nada to impress me last season, but I doubt they let him go.Thornton's production, while better than he's given credit for, doesn't match his cost. Wouldn't be shocked to to see him go either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be shocked to to see him go either.I'm with you Joisey. I'd be pissed if they let S. Smith go. Moore didn't bug me that much, because we had high expectations for Robinson... but Smith clearly outplayed every other DT last year when he was given the chance. What I'm hoping for is Adams at LDT, S. Smith at RDT with Robinson and Peko as their subs (because they both lack endurance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I don't know...with all the waste of roster space sucked up by one-dimensional special teamers who don't contribute on either side of the ball, the Bengals may shortchange themselves again on D-linemen.If it's 9, I'd like to see:DE'sLDE: Justin Smith, Johnathan FaneneRDE: Eric Henderson, Jumpy Jr.DT'sLDT: Sam Adams, Shaun SmithRDT: John Thornton, Domata PekoDE/DT TweenerB-RobWe'll see about Frostee the Snowman, but if it looks like he's not going to cut it I hope the Bengals just cut ties instead of keeping a waste of roster space around a couple years like they have done with Askew.

BengalChamps Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Looks like it is gonna be JT vs. Asskew vs Frucker for the final spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I doubt Shaun Smith will be cut, simply because of the obvious improvement we saw in the run defense while he was in the games last season.I think Marvin still has faith in Thornton, so he stays put, while Robinson gets the axe.DTsSam AdamsJohn ThorntonShaun SmithDomata PekoDEsJustin SmithRobert GeathersFrostee RuckerEric Henderson9th guyFanene or Askew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WretchedOne Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 oops...my bad.I dunno then.I could definately see JT being a cap cut for one though.10 Linemen could work, not probable but it could.You'd have:SmithHendersonGeathersFaneneRuckerAdamsPekoAskewRobinsonSmithThrumanPollackSimmonsJohnsonNicholsonNaviesWilkinsO'NeilBaumanJosephRatliffWilliamsJacksonHerring KaesRatliff would move to Saftey if one went down.Williams wold move to Corner if one went down.Again, not wise, or probable, but possible.But then again, if we could improve our pass rush, there would not be so much pressure on our DBs...

Kazkal Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 if we decide keep henderson I could see only keeping 4 DT's sense fanene can be DT or DEThink we keep 9 at most though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
