Spor_tees Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The Patriots just cut Doug Gabriel. With the WR injury woes the Bengals have had this year, should the Bengals give him a chance? He is a big fast WR that could use the arm and precision passes of Carson Palmer to bring his career back from the dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasher Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Considering that the Pats are absolutely HURTING for WRs and expecially depth, the fact that they cut him does not cast him particularly well in the skills, work ethic, committment, etc. departments. With all of our "Projects" in the WR department and the depth that we have on the injury report, why would you bring him in for 3 games? Especially when Washington is set to come back within the next couple of weeks and your current setup has been producing at a pretty high level, all things considered.??

Whur CHad At? Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 He did destroy us though, But I agree. He only belongs on one team, the Oakland Raiders, Where work ethic doesn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreen_112 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Can he return punts? I believe Palmer and the good protection he gets can make a lot of recievers better. We're pretty deep at WR, I don't know, it's a thought. I know that he is fast as hell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 He did destroy us though, But I agree. He only belongs on one team, the Oakland Raiders, Where work ethic doesn't matter Yet ironically enough, that's where the Patsies got him this year because he worked himself into Art Shell's doghouse. I don't know where the hell he goes now...the Lions? They seem to collect lazy malcontent WRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I had hoped we had reached the point where every name to hit the waiver wire would not prompt a thread calling for us to get him.Guess not.Seriously, as wide receiver deprived as the Patriots are, why would you think that a team deep in good receivers like the Bengals could use him, if the Pats saw fit to cut him?

How many teams do you think passed or would have passed on Chad Johnson when he was drafted because of his psersonality and off-the-field issues. Same goes for Chris Henry. Chris Henry hasn't worked through those issues, but for every Chris Henry there is a Chad Johnson that does work through it. A big part of Chad working through it was Hue Jackson. Maybe all that Gabriel needs is to be coached by a guy like Hue Jackson. Seeing as the uncertainty of Chris Henry's future and whether or not he might still be suspended next year, Chatman's regularity to injuries, K-Wash's attitude and regularity to injuries, and the rest of the WR's being rookies or unproven, why not give him a shot? Obviously he has all the physical abilities to be a stud WR in this league. Besides we could use him as a punt returner at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
