TJJackson Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 *sigh*we really, REALLY needed those two special teams players. Kilmer was the new Reggie Myles, imho, and Tab was a top notch KR and coverage guy aside from the other roles Hobson mentionedThe only really good special teamer we have left, imo, is Herana-Daze JonesNo wonder our special teams stink this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 ugh....so we IR Tab and sign Roby, while Miami sends the Chargers Chambers for a r2 pick? O-K. On top of this Chatman has another hammy and could disappear forever. We have Marcus Maxwell on the PS...get the guy some snaps with the 1st team!!!The Kilmer thing is just stupid. First off, we have about 1 safeties on the team, so what difference does it make?Plus, was his knee hurt before? ML made itseem like a new thing...our crack Medical Staff strikes again.as for Chris Perry, don't hold your proverbial breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwalling Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6361Still no word on Chris Perry, tho...Way to waste a roster space on a ST DB for five weeks, guys. Agreed, horrible personnel move waiting. We should fire our GM... oh wait.BTW, show me a team that could survive losing both OTs their #3 & 4 WR, their #2 &3 RBs (Perry and Irons) and not struggle on offense. That is not to mention what feels like 6 LBs (Pollack, odell, Caleb, Jeanty, Brooks, Henderson, Marshall sh!t it's seven) and the impact it has had on the defense. Thank heavens the DBs and DLine have been relatively healthy.The impact of all of these folks on special teams has also been glaring.

mgi Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Did anyone ever pick up Bennie Brazell? Yes fragile and bound to be injured, but we could use some depth at WR and he certainly quick enough for special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Bennie is IR'd or PUP'd or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPappaw Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Plus, was his knee hurt before? ML made itseem like a new thing...our crack Medical Staff strikes again.One of my main worries is our "medical staff". I wonder if our players could get back healthy, on the field sooner with better medical care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The Kilmer thing is just stupid. First off, we have about 1 safeties on the team, so what difference does it make?I assume you mean we have like 10 of them...not 1......and if so, yep. I havent counted, but even without counting am very comfortable saying we have too many safeties and not enough LBs.The difference, you ask? It is that Kilmer established himself last year as a top notch special teamer. The other 10? Not so much. Herana-Daze is GOOD, but Kilmer was/is GREAT on special teams.

Herana-Daze is GOOD, but Kilmer was/is GREAT on special teams.yep, meant 10.Funnny how we had been so thin at S and now we have tons. Wilkins was a GREAT ST guy and they let him walk, same with quite a few others...Kilmer is cheap, that is a big part of the equation. I like Kilmer but they are making him out to be much more than he is. If they had any inkling that he knee was the issue, then they should have IR'd him and brought in someone who could contribute. nope, our medical staff fumbles this one away.

kentjett Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 At least this pretty much guarantees Perry will be ready in a week or two. We sent two to the IR and we only signed one, Perry could be ready this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walzav29 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I still they should sign Hartwell. He knows the defense, is a linebacker and is better than Ndukwe at linebacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJBestInAFC Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 maybe they will keep Geathers at Olb. He seems to be quick enough to play the position and adds another dimension to the defense that it lacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Too bad for Kilmer....if he gets on the field he will be a huge difference maker imo. But with the Bengals it's a big if....They have 3 weeks to make a decision on Chris Perry is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm starting to think this is Mike's fault. They have wasted a roster spot on Kilmer for 5 games. You don't think bring in Wilkins or Hartwell would have helped a little? In my head, and of course no one knows because Marvin won't tell us anything. I think Brown want's to keep these guys around. You know that dreaded "minimum veteran salary" comes up. Hell, I don't know. I just don't understand why it has taken this long to make this decision, and to bring in a receiver? Doomed.

fattyjay Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Late note last night from Curnutte...Linebacker tries outJim Maxwell, a linerbacker from Gardner-Webb, received a tryout today with the Bengals.I am starting to wonder if Hartwell has sort of undisclosed injury because the Bengals are looking in every direction for a LB except his. I also would like to know where Earl Everett and Matt Muncy are, at least they would have a working knowledge of the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Everett is on the Falcons PS I believe. I have no idea where Muncy is, if he's anywhere other than home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Meet our newest scrub 'backer (per Curnutte)...Also today, the Bengals signed linebacker Kevis Coley to the practice squad. Coley, who played at Southern Mississippi, is a first-year NFL player. He entered the NFL as a college free agent with the Giants in 2006. He did not start 2006 with an NFL team but was on Jacksonville’s practice squad for the season’s last eight games. He did not begin the 2007 preseason on an NFL roster, but was signed by Jacksonville on Aug. 26 and released by the Jaguars in final cuts on Sept. 1.
