BZBot Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 The Cincinnati Bengals have one of, if not the best o-lines in the NFL, but can they afford to keep it together?Source: http://www.bengalszone.com/article.php?sid=419 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 They won't keep it fully intact if they keep levi I'll be happy....if they keep Levi and Steinbach I'll be really happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Wllie and braham will be gone! One for monry the other for age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Wllie and braham will be gone! One for monry the other for age!I think there's a good chance we keep Braham. Not necessarily as a starter, but his age will keep the price low and his experience and leadership could give us a great return investment.Willie, OTOH, probably won't be back. Too bad too, I've always looked at him as the glue that stuck it all together when times were really really bad. Now, as he keeps talking, he doesn't really expect to be back at all.. zero chance.

Kazkal Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 If we have room i'd keep richie but its hard send a young center packing when he has a year or 2 left in him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 this is braham's last year. most likely the same for willie in a bengals uni...levi and steinbach will be resigned or franchised prolly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 They need switch Oline Tagging too postions >_< that way to tag steiny it would be top 5 guards not Olinemen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTbOy Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 LJones 1st priority, ESteinbach should be 2nd, which ever one they sign 1st they should tag the other...WAnderson and RBraham I would hate to lose but someone has to go, especially since I think they have 2 other C on the team 1 they drafted in EGhiacic and 1 FA in BWilkerson so I think 1 of these young guys will be playing in 07...

cincy9275 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 i agree Levi has to stay . it is going to get interesting with all the young o-linemen we have drafted or acquired . they seem to get a lot of praises from our coaching staff.

andybren Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 If we have room i'd keep richie but its hard send a young center packing when he has a year or 2 left in himYoung? He's the oldest guy on the team by 2.5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I said it would hard to send a young center home just to try keep him for 1-2 more years I love richie and all but this is his last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybren Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I said it would hard to send a young center home just to try keep him for 1-2 more years I love richie and all but this is his last year.You may have said that, but it wasn't clear. "Send a young center packing when he" makes it sound like "he" is the "young center". But aside from grammatical correctness, I don't see this as a problem with roster spots. They seem to have Ghiaciuc as the back-up center while Wilkerson is a back-up guard/center. Worst case scenario, Wilkerson is too good not to be the center of the future and Ghiaciuc can't play guard. But even then, Richie re-signing just means you delay that decision a little bit longer. Then all you have to worry about is Wilkerson's contract running out.But I don't think that's going to happen. Richie is going to retire.

Kazkal Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Meh aslong as you know what I ment now I guess next year it would be easier to keep all 3 of them,then it will be this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
