DC_Bengals_Fan Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Was a rookie who played well?Looks to be a solid backup?Other?At least as good as Landon. He'll either be a starter or a so-called "backup" who's out there half the snaps. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 He's young, but I think he has the ability to work his way into a starting job, depending on how David Pollacks situation turns out. Quote
Kazkal Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 Do you guys think he could move to WLB? if we picked up a mlb or slb in this years draft? Quote
GregCook Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Jenty isn't a long term starter for the Bengals. The entire group didn't distinguish themselves this year and I expect two new starters next year. Marvin has drafted at least 6 line backers with nearly all first day picks. Having lost two of them, I expect linebacker will be a position of focus for Marvin in 2007. Quote

kentjett Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 He proved he is really talented. He is rookie and played better and smarter than any other linebacker on our squad. He is the only LB besides Brooks that stands people up. Once Brooks learns how to play smart, he will be unblievable. Jeanty is a upgrade from Landon. Landon misses way too many tackles, landon and Simmons need to be cut. If Caleb can stay healthy. I say we keep him as a back-up. Quote
schweinhart Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Definitely keep him. He was a benefit vs. the run and showed some short area coverage skills. But he's definitely a strongside backer. Don't think he ever did do like Pollack and rush down in passing situations but Jumpy took up that slack. Regardless, Jeanty showed he can do enough at the position to be a starter if no one better than him emerges. Quote
Kazkal Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 Did we ever blitz jeanty? I can't recall it and I was suprised at the end of the year where he diden't have a single sack...seemed like we blitzed landon and caleb more. Quote
schweinhart Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Be interesting to know just how much he blitzed but he was usually out in the nickel. Like to see a SSLB who they could blitz, though, but not gonna happen when there's 3 or more wides unless the Bengals go to a 3-man front on passing downs. They did that more in 2005 than last year.

Kazkal Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 Well just keep hoping marvins comment about firing chuck was a smoke screen and alrdy in talks withour next DC. Quote
Stripes Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I also was surprised they rarely sent Jeanty on the blitz. That was his claim to fame in Canada, but apparently they saw something else they liked about him. I thought he was alright, but nothing to throw a parade over. Quote
HoTbOy Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 He was OK for a rook, but did not blitz alot...theres no way the get rid of LJohnson... Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 He looked solid most of the time, LB's is going to be an interesting position this offseason. I am not as convinced as some that Odell is done in Cinci, will Simmons be back, Johnson and miller are both FA's are they not, Brooks showed strong early and nothing late. Quote

agreen_112 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Do you guys think he could move to WLB? if we picked up a mlb or slb in this years draft?Well, we won't need a MLB because Odell will be back. WLB seems like it would be a good spot for Jeanty, he looked real good this year. Not as good as Odell in '05, but pretty solid. Better than Landon Johnson. Quote
