BengalszoneBilly Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 49ers added Ahman Brooks to Justin Smith and Takeo Spikes as former Bengals on the defense.Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this? Oh...I know. I've felt it many times before when players left Cincinnati to go and succeed elsewhere! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Like Milt Stegall?I'm not sure the CFL counts, but yeah T.J. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Justin will continue to be a solid but unspectacular guy.Spikes is washed up.Brooks will be a f**king pro bowler. Quote
TJJackson Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Like Milt Stegall?I'm not sure the CFL counts, but yeah T.J.Like Ira Hillary? Quote
BengalByTheBay Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Brooks will be a f**king pro bowler.As Willis' backup? I'll take that bet. (I still need to get even with you anyway.) Quote
COB Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 Justin Smith played right outside linebacker a lot for the 49ers in preseason. It looks like they'll be using him there on a lot of snaps. I can't remember who, but someone in here was always screaming that the Bengals should put Smith at linebacker. Quote

jditty47 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 brooks will be a pro bowler? no way. the man is not smart enough to do that well. Quote
agreen_112 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Brooks who? Ahman or Ahmad Brooks? If its ahmad brooks, when did the Bengals cut him? Quote
agreen_112 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 I seen a bit on the 49ers last year on ESPN about how if you look at the two teams (Bengals, 49ers) drafting, coach selection, everything; the 49ers have basically modeled what the Bengals did since hiring Marvin Lewis. It's damn near identical. Quote
gregstephens Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Posted September 2, 2008 Brooks who? Ahman or Ahmad Brooks? If its ahmad brooks, when did the Bengals cut him?Ahmad, sorry for the initial typo. He got cut loose in the purge of Saturday. Quote

Smith at DE is a hammer turning a screw. Quote

I can't remember who, but someone in here was always screaming that the Bengals should put Smith at linebacker.I resemble that remark.I must have said it a thousand times as well. Smith at DE is a hammer turning a screw.So, what is he now...a hammer turning a pulley? I don't really see Smith being that successful at either position. He dropped into coverage a lot his first two seasons and ineffective is probably being kind. His coverage sklls are pretty slim. I just think he's a classic tweener - which was kind of the knock on him when drafted. That said, does anybody question the tactic of raiding the Bengals defense in concept. Isn't it the same as raiding the 9'ers WR corps? (Which is apparently the thinking of the Raiders. BTW - where the hell is Dexter Jackson sprinkling these days?) Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 Brooks will be a f**king pro bowler.As Willis' backup? I'll take that bet. (I still need to get even with you anyway.)You win. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted November 29, 2008 Report Posted November 29, 2008 D*mn, what does it say when Mike Singletary gives up on you as a linebacker ??Oh yeah, YOU SUCK !!! Quote
COB Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 From starting linebacker with sort of "franchise defender" expectations at the beginning of last season, to out of football three fourths of the way through this season. That is a career in freefall. Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Brooks may be resigned this week. Apparently the 9ers needed roster space for a wide receiver. Quote
Thurmanation Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 Who ever said Spikes is washed up obviously didn't see the pick he had last week, or the other 2 hes had this season..or the 2 fumbles hes forced or the 78 tackles he has. Hes better then every starting linebacker we have right now. Washed up or not ill take him over this pack of garbage any day. Quote
