ChadJohnson-85 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 IMO Jeanty played a great game last night & I wouldn't be surprised if he became Pollacks back-up @ LB. But Brooks really hasn't done anything yet. So im gonna vote Rashad Jeanty.Who Dey!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'd expect both to make it... Don't think the competition is really between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishipatel Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I don't think there's any question that both of these guys make it. Yo ushould add Marcus Wilkins, Caleb Miller and AJ Nicholson to the poll and change it to who has the worst chance of making it. I think Wilkins may be out since some of the young guys have been doing well on special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Another crappy poll should be between AJ and wilkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yeah there's no way Brooks gets bounced. But the Brooks-Jeanty question could prove more real as the preseason goes on. Brooks has not shown that he's an NFL caliber MLB yet and looks like he'll have zero chance of playing weakside in a 4-3. Brooks looks better suited for now doing what Jeanty has been -- Pollack's backup on the strong side who also plays down at end for pass rush and stands up as the 5th on the line. But Jeanty has played fairly decent.Still, AJ looks like the best suited and most instinctive backup MLB until Thurman returns. He shoots gaps quick and appears to have better deeper coverage skills than Brooks at this point. Doubtful that AJ can swing weakside though but more likely than Brooks. Caleb still seems to better solve the backup weakside backer. Wilkins is the bubble man here but no one headhunts like he does on teams and it will be hard for the Bengals to part ways with him unless AJ gets the chance to show he can do it, which he should have no problem doing.I'd put the LBs as:1. Pollack2. Simmons3. Landon4. Brooks5. Miller6. Nicholson7. JeantyWhen Odell returns, Jeanty probably goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Plenty guys play middle I'd say Jeanty makes it over nich or they may keep 8 depending on injurys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Who has a better chance of making the 53-man roster, Chad Johnson or Carson Palmer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yup (and nice sarcasm fellas), they are both making it. Easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Tigere Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If they are still trying to go to a 3-4 next year and some this year the LB's go like this!Your starters = D.Pollack O.Thurman A.Brooks L.JohnsonBack Ups = R. Jeanty A. Nicholson C. MillerB. Simmons will be gone next year cut by age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTbOy Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Based on what I've saw so far it would be RJeanty, but there is no way the Bengals use next years 3rd on a LB and he does not make the roster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 the real question is Caleb vs AJ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Based on what I've saw so far it would be RJeanty, but there is no way the Bengals use next years 3rd on a LB and he does not make the roster...If he got cut he could always hang around with Maurice Clarett. Talk about a 3rd-round flame-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 For Backers the question comes down to Nicholson vs. Mleer and I think Nicholson wins, I know what Ludwig said about 7 backers but I can only see 6 making the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'd say if all things are equal than pick the guy without the criminal history. It will be 1 less distraction. These guys haven't done anything since training camp has begun. I am saying that if 2 guys are physically equal. Take the guy with less off the field issues.

The_Next_Big_Thing Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Both these guys make it. Miller doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
