JoePong Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 This should pretty much ensure the Bengals will be playing a 4-3 defense. You don't get big DT who is a huge force rushing the passer up the middle (something we have lacked forever) and then put him in a 3-4 where all he does is occupy blockers. That would be a waste.You have Rogers and Peko as the DTs, Geathers at one DE, and someone like Pollack at the other DE... Geathers Rogers Peko Pollack (or Odom or a draft pick if Pollack isn't playing).And then at LB you have Brooks in the middle, Odell on the weakside, then Jeanty and/or Henderson on the strong side. Dhani Jones is the top backup at all 3 spots.But there is no way we should play a 3-4 after this trade. It would be a waste now that we finally have a good tandem inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 For any kool-aid colored Bengalszone lips here to deny the fact Rogers doesn't come with realistic downside and significant risk, are obviously in their usual, drunken, delusional, season-ticket justifying state. I am definitely ok with acquiring him, but it's the cost vs risk factor that bothers me.After Marvin's problems with controlling and keeping his players happy and motivated the last two years, and considering the last thing this team needs is another possible tumor, let alone at the cost of a first day pick and a big salary, I'll withhold my Bengals' woody. I'm looking at November and what the thoughts of this trade will be then, versus just cheerleading and patting Mike Brown on the a$$ (as if he did anything other than approve of the deal with $12mm to safely spend, and after losing yet another young safety).But there is plenty of fun quotes to add to my signature block below in this thread, so I need to get on that.

membengal Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 You never have been objective. But I always love the eternally dickish who s**t on every move a team makes and then bleat "I'm just being objective". Awesome. It's the first refuge of trolls.
