According to Lance Mcallister on 1530 Homer....the Bengals have signed Shawn Rogers. Anybody else hear this?????

That's hillarious because I just wrote on another thread (30 seconds ago) GET SHAUN ROGERS GOT DAMNIT!!! LMAO. What did we give the Lions? 3rd rd pick?

Thats what I am wondering as well - 'cause it was a trade... I'll say one thing, this is a huge party - we never pull off things of this magnitude!! It sure changes are options come draft day as well...

Damn, Im pumped!

From PFT:

BENGALS BAG ROGERS by Michael David Smith

Michael Smith of ESPN.com is reporting that the Detroit Lions have traded defensive tackle Shaun Rogers to the Cincinnati Bengals.

No word is out yet on what the Lions got for Rogers, who had been on the trade block for several weeks and had been rumored to be heading to the Jaguars, Jets and Broncos, among other teams.

For the Bengals, acquiring Rogers gives them just the kind of big defensive tackle head coach Marvin Lewis has always employed in his defense. The 340-pound Rogers is in the mold of Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa, the huge defensive tackles who played for the Super Bowl-winning Ravens team on which Lewis served as defensive coordinator.

Well if this turns out to be true then a 26 yr old DT not without a fair amount of talent is a bit alright. Just need to get him to give a s**t. Makes the first round interesting anyway.

I think he is 28.

And maybe our new DC will 'zim' some life into him.

Looks more and more like 3-4 is how they are heading.

Geathers - Rogers - Rucker - ?

Rivers with the #9?

Maybe Geathers is an OLB in the 3-4, not that it won't switch to a 4-3 at times? Reckon Fanene/Peko might be tried at DE if we do go to a 3-4.

I don't think this move tells you anything about scheme. They could just as easily line his big butt up next to Peko in a 4-3 and that'd be fine with me. If he's the new NT, that's fine, too.

My bad, you're absolutely right. I hope so. Change of scenery might be what's needed....

Right. Ultimately, a tackle that can get to the QB - something I've never seen in my admittedly young Bengals fandom - has got to be a good thing. This is where someone now tells me he's useless against the run.
