3...2...1...let the UDCFA signing frenzy BEGIN!

I <3 Earl Everett. He is my Reggie Myles.

BYU tight end Daniel Coats...his profile says he is a big strong slow blocking type. With sound intangibles. Suprised? :-) http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingr...anielcoats.html

Sam Adams is faster than Daniel Coats.

Sam Adams would collapse if he had to walk 100 yards, much less run (or waddle)

At least Coats will eventually get there on his own power :-)

[TJJackson]

anyone heard about any more players?

a P and/or a PK and/or a long snapper to give our incumbents some camp competition?

Haven't heard anything... but the no doubt will. They always do.

we've all seen players get carted off the field.

Maybe Sam can become the first player to be carted onto the field.

I'm hearing about a Missouri DE signing with us.....didn't Justin come from Missouri?

Looks like the Packers picked up two of the linebackers I liked as UDCFAs

(and yes, I know both had character baggage, but I don't think one such pick would hurt us much)

Earl Everett was a 5 star LB out of highschool where he played multiple positions. He is a good athlete that times slow. He started for 3 and 1/2 years at Florida and they recruit some pretty good players. He pulled an hamstring at the combine and ran a 4.8-40 which scared a lot of people. He ran a 4.7 at florida w/ a sore hamstring. It is really hard to run w/ a hamstring injury and it takes a while to heal. Don't be suprised if he makes the squad. Great p/u in my mind. He rarely ever misses a tackle, an area where we struggle.

[TJJackson]

I certainly hope you are right.....we do certainly need to improve overall tackling

The CFA signees will have their first work with the team during this weekend’s minicamp (May 4-6) for rookies and eligible first-year players at Paul Brown Stadium.

The Bengals also have arranged for a number of unsigned players to work with the team during minicamp on a tryout basis. Five of these players have local/regional connections. WR Mark Burr of Urbana is from Cincinnati (Northwest HS). LS Pat Farfsing of the University of Cincinnati is from Cincinnati (St. Xavier HS). TE Steve Kosky of Miami (Ohio) is from Cincinnati (Anderson HS). DT Ellery Moore of Kentucky is from Massillon, Ohio (Washington HS). The aforementioned four players all are rookies, and CB Blue Adams, a fourth-year NFL player from the University of Cincinnati, will also participate on a tryout basis. Adams played for Tampa Bay last season.

I liked Blue Adams coming out of college. Hopefully he'll show them something and we can pick him up.
