John Thorton Interview


Recommended Posts

Saying how we are being rated low because of CPalmer and that if he was healthy we may be SB favorites..saying how CPalmer was playing BBall dribbling ball between his legs...commenting on DPollack possible broken leg from PFT saying he has been wearing boot for a couple of weeks...saying the D had been playing with a swagger in the OTA's and seeing them being much better...

him praising askew? mybe he wants out :P

My thoughts exactly....

He is praising someone that would take his spot. Maybe he's just a nice guy, but with Sam Adams and Peko added, JT and Askew are fighting for the same spot.

Or maybe he is propping Askew to help him get a new job after the Bengals release him???? Who knows?

lol JT will be starting next year alongside Sam Adams...

you guys are retarded to think other wise.

I don't know about the whole "retarded" thing, but I agree that Thornton will start. Smith will rotate with Adams at his spot, and I think the guy that really needs to worry about Askew is Bryan Robinson.

I think Thornton may get cut...salary cap..age...productivity...all working against him...to think otherwise is RETARDED.

Smith, Peko, Fanene, Askew (can't believe I'm typing his name as I think he also could get cut) all could find time in his place.

A DT rotation with Adams, Robinson, Fanene, Smith, Peko and Askew is not that terrible...and Thornton will join a long list of cut Bengals with no job...a la Hardy, Ross, Williams, GIbson...etc.

What about Steve Foley? That was a bad move on Marvin's part. ^_^

Steve Foley works in a 3-4 system. I don't consider his being cut a big mistake...last time I checked the Chargers didn't make the playoffs last year. He had decent stats and has revived his career in SD but would not necessarily make this D any better...

It's possible that Thornton could get cut -- esp for the reasons you cite. But Marvin seems to feel JT/BRobinson have been pretty solid. One guy who I like but who for whatever reason it seems like Marvin might not be so wild about is Shaun Smith. It seems like Marvin HATES to put the guy in and does so kind of as a last resort. If there's a DT worried about being cut, I'd put my money on Smith. Anyone else get that impression?
