kingwilly Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Heck, this team needs Oline repair before another RB.Yup. And guess what happens when you stick a good RB behind a s**tty line? Punting after not converting 3rd and 2, that's what.I want to know what the plan is at RT, because Stacy Andrews is NOT the answer.McFadden would be getting dinged up pretty fast in the AFC Norte...RT is of grave concern. Can Whit replace Willie if he goes down/retires? Andrews to LG? Can Levi get back to top-form?These are the serious questions...not "how can we get McFadden"...

Punting after not converting 3rd and 2, that's what.I want to know what the plan is at RT, because Stacy Andrews is NOT the answer.We have plenty of very good RB's, some injured, some getting tired, some just getting started.RudiKenny W.C. PerryK. IronsDeDeVery good? Above average at best(that is proven) and the only one who's truly shown that is rudi but that was also behind a stud line.Even then he had left much to be desired,I wanna see kenny get a chance but we truly do need spark our running game and I hope irons will do that for us.PS,With that being said the only RB I'd take from this draft really would be mcfadden (maybe stewart) I agree it's not a need but like those who want a pass catching TE it would just put our offense on a whole new level...

IMHO this team STILL needs defensive play makers in linemen, linebackers, and safetys. The ONLY offensive pick I'd accept is linemen. Period. Until this team finds balance between the "O" and the "D", we ain't going ANYWHERE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBenBlows Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is there anyway we can draft a D corodinator!!?? Or lets draft McFadden and trade him for a D corodinator!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too early to have a lengthy discussion about the RB depth in the coming draft, but let's not forget how much might change the moment the juniors declare. There could be close to a half dozen junior RB's who would rank in or near the top #50 deciding to leave early, and if true the RB depth would be the best it's been in years.

I really doubt the Bengals put an effort into it though. Rudi has another season -- and if this season proved anything, it's that they'll keep running Rudi no matter how beautiful Watson's 4.5 yards-per-carry looks. With Irons being a complete unknown, I just don't see the Bengals going after a RB in the draft -- not with Dorsey playing well on special teams and being the fourth RB.Kaz is right. At best, our depth at RB is above average -- though I'd make the point that they're average at best -- especially looking at numbers being well below the league average. Injury is a bitch. Because it invites so many unknowns and procrastinations.Anyway, James Laurinaitis baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 till leave the TEAM right where it's currently at,I bet if we had All day on this offense rather then say Gaines adam on defense we'd be doing alot better ,With that being said I truely don't wanna see another RB taken I just wouldn't complain if we took mcfadden if we had a shot on him(which we don't and I wouldn't want to see us trade up either.)PS,I bet Patriots get mcfadden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt the Bengals put an effort into it though. It is what it is. Namely, a completely unsettled position that doesn't fit the description of true need, but is ignored only at the risk of complete and total collapse. That said, the higher a team drafts the more likely it is they draft the best player still available from a fixed and rigid list of prospects, and that's especially true when discussing the true blue chip prospects that never number more than a half dozen or so in any draft. But there's the rub because we're no longer projecting the Bengals finish that high, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazkal Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Pfft how can you blame someone after watching all day run,He turns a 0 yard run in to a 9 or 5 yard run in to a 60 vs Rudi who runs a 0 yard play for 0 yards or 3 yard play for 3 yards =P.AP was the biggest difference maker out of this years draft how is gaines adams doing? If McFadden was on the board I would not pass on him but truly it does not matter because were not picking top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 PS,I bet Patriots get mcfadden if I were the jets, i would be worried. The jets could land McFadden if he comes out and if they keep losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazs2000 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Trade up and get Glenn Dorsey. Now not only do you have an instant stud on your D-line, but you also have the Ray Lewis-like leader of your defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yep, because like the last 17 years, it was always that top 5 draft pick that turned this franchise around right?! One player away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player away!We didn't have Palmer then or CJ, TJ, or Marv.... Imagine the #1 best rookie RB in the draft, that's probably as good as Adrian Peterson, paired with our offense. You guys know first hand how deadly Carson is with a running game... I'm so f**king pissed at MB for not re-signing Steiny, that's enough for me to want to quit this franchise... We would have a #1 QB and a #1 RB. Combine that with an offensive line and CJ, TJ, and Henry. GOTDAMN that would be unbelievable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the thought of a Chris Perry return, I liked the draft pick of Irons, and I liked Rudi. That's a pretty powerful combination of RB's... Well at least the idea of these 3 was powerful... I think this franchise needs a change of pace. We need a RB like McFadden. He could be the new face of this team. Pair him with the Golden Boy and the Bengals would have THE BEST offense in the league... I must be dreaming because we would still have NO defense and NO offensive line... maybe: We get back Odell, Pollack and Brooks. We re-sign Landon and keep Jeanty. Let Justin go, (we still have Peko and Geathers) and sign a FRee Agent DT/DE. Keep Madieu Williams and start Ndukwe, cut Dexter. Sign a FA safety. FIRE BRESH1st pick - McFadden. 2nd pick - DE/DT. 3rd pick - O-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's blown all season long and I'm tired of this lingering hamstring excuse. The blocking may be subpar for him, but then how have Dorsey and Watson managed to get well over Rudi's stellar 2.8 YPC? Rudi's longest run of the night last night? 4 yards. 4 big yards. Wow. That's incredible. No wonder he's starting.Disagree if you're talking about Watson and Dorsey. I wouldn't mind seeing them play all game long. Even if they don't perform better than Rudi, they at least have the potential to break a big run every now and then. Rudi can ride his bike on the sideline - that's where I think he can contribute the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
