Kazkal Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Rookie Skyler Green, the newest Bengal, is listed as a wideout at 5-9, 197 pounds. After the Cowboys drafted him as a wide receiver out of LSU in the fourth round, they switched him to running back. The Bengals brought him in for punt returns but he hopes they switch him back to running back. He said he has already mentioned it to head coach Marvin Lewis.well coulden't hurt with perry down.

Stripes Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 It's an interesting proposition. If he has the shiftiness to succeed as a punt returner, I guess he could do the same as a third down back. He's tiny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 He's really short... but it's not as if he's a ton smaller than a lot of RB's. He's significantly bigger than Warrick Dunn... and being short can sometimes help a RB. At almost 200 lbs, he's actually a decent size to play RB.

BlainThePain Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Kenny Watson was a WR in college that turned into a decent receiving back. I say let him try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 It depends on what for. I'd have a lot of reservations using him as a third down back for blocking reasons. WR's usually don't have a reputation as blockers, and he's pretty small, so blocking would really worry me.Right now I'm fine with Kenny Watson. What I'm not fine with is our punt returning, and if he could help there, then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'd put him in as a back for a passing play for that reason, though Watson has struggled some there this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
