ChadJohnson-85 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 The Bengals wouldn’t comment on the Thurman story, although they clearly prepared for the possibility when they put Brian Simmons at middle linebacker for the first time since 2002 in last month’s minicamp that Thurman missed because of “personal reasons.” http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=5328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincy9275 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Brian has had some of his better season's at middle l/b spot . I'm comfortable with him playing there . losing Odell for the 4 games will have some effect but not as much as people think . we are stacked at l/b .

ArmyBengal Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Pollack, Simmons, and Johnson for the 1st four games doesn't bother me near the amount that "will Carson start game one" does !!! Odell is still allowed to practice with the team and will be fine. All anyone can do, is hope he doesn't mess up again...WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTbOy Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I also don't have a problem with BSims playing MLB it can't be any worse than him playing WLB...CMiller playing days maybe over with da Bengals, I have not heard him being mentioned to play any LB position...

I think even with Simmons in there the loss of Odell hurts our run defense a tad, but Simmon's is more than a viable replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jditty47 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 love the move of simmons to the middle for the first 4 games. we'll be fine on D without Odell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I like the move as well... Simmons has certainly lost a step, and that can obviously be a noteable problem on the outside. Landon is more familiar with OLB than MLB, and this seems like the best way to utilize the players available.David Pollack is going to step it up either way, and I can't fuggin' wait to see him out there.

Stripes Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I don't think Caleb's all that bad... He just needs to stop getting hurt. I thought he was a solid player when he was actually playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just like picking on him ever since he went from the hobbit hair style to the female rock star look...I would love to see him get at it out there !!!WHODEY !!!

jditty47 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 that hot chick that used to be on this forum was a huge miller fan =) and who said simmons has lost a step? he'll move back to the outside after game 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
