Clackwoods Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Offensive guard Derrick Dockery, who was signed to a seven-year, $49 million deal two years ago by the Buffalo Bills, was informed Thursday he is being released.http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3936197With this news it got me thinking whom we could bring in on the Oline to keep us from using multiple picks on the OL in the draft. I would love to see Dockery here in Cincy so we can move Whit to the outside at RT! Quote
HAPPYJAQ Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 It's interesting to see all of these players getting released a year or two into contracts that were recently signed. For those that wanted Jeff Saturday, ESPN is reporting that he wants to play GUARD and turned down an offer to stay in Indy to remain their starting C.It gets worse.He wants to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Then Mikey should at least drive up the price, if he's smart. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Kendall Simmons got released from the Steelers. Quote
Clackwoods Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 Kendall Simmons got released from the Steelers.The Jets also released their starting guard. Looks like their are a lot of good guards and centers available. Quote
HAPPYJAQ Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 What do you guys think of Khalif Barnes? He's a younger veteran starter and has played on both sides. I remember him being highly touted coming out and he's only 26. These FA contracts are looking scary this year, though. Quote
HairOnFire Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 I wasn't interested, but for those who were....Jeff Saturday is staying with the Colts. Quote
HAPPYJAQ Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 The Colts get the point and re-sign Saturdayhttp://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/02/26/...-keep-saturday/Ravens out of the Jason Brown derby, but are the Bengals in it?http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/02/26/...gle-on-offense/Brown had some interesting parting words, to say the least. I like his fire, though. The NFL Network's Adam Shefter just commented that Stacey Andrews is still very hot on the FA market. He went on about how teams around the league have been high on him for the last few years and all indications are that he'll be healthy and ready for the '09 opener. Is Stacey better than we think?

Is Stacey better than we think?Could be with better coaches and better talent around him on the line.But I think he'd be a good value for someone and that may be the kicker more than anything.Alexander on the radio tonight said he thinks Andrews is one of the NFL's "top 8 tackles." I'm not sure what makes him that good, and if he is, that means the rest of the o-line really sucks.Also regarding the thread topic, as I've said many times, don't see the Bengals' signing a top 3 FA guard or center - won't happen. They'll draft one and let him go when he's up for a new contract after doing what they drafted him for. The Bengals' are often in o-line position crisis mode every 3 years you'll notice. Quote
BengalPimp Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Is Stacey better than we think?Hahahaha NOOOOOOOO !!!! Quote
BengalPimp Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Alexander on the radio tonight said he thinks Andrews is one of the NFL's "top 8 tackles."If healthy, he could be one of the "Top 8 Guards" NOT Tackles......seriously, He's nowhere near as good as his brother. Quote
HairOnFire Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Alexander on the radio tonight said he thinks Andrews is one of the NFL's "top 8 tackles." I read on another board Alexander claimed Andrews was the best ORT in the NFL, and went on to say that based upon the way the Bengals grade their lineman Andrews gave up only 2 sacks this season.

BengalszoneBilly Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 OL Options, What are we going to do?Free agency, the draft, I hope whatever it f**kin' takes to build an offensive line that can...#1: Consistently protect Carson Palmer and give him adequate time in the pocket.#2: Open some running lanes that even I could run through!

bengalboomer7 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 KFFL is reporting Andrews to visit Philly for a possible reunion with his brother Quote

ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Speaking of the o-line, I was just wondering if anyone had any insight on Dennis Roland ?? Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Dennis Roland is a beast. A monster of a human being. He has learning to do, but if he can get it down and play like he did vs. KC last year he can be a really good player. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 At 6'9, 325 I know he's a big dude and he came in and played well in the KC game, but I'm not one to put to much stock in that particular game.Anyway, just wondering what else anyone knew about him. I can read the official site blurb, but I was looking for more.I wonder how much of a look he will get ?? Quote
cincy9275 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 on the bengals website is saying with stacey leaving that collins may move rt while whit may move to lt. i do like that combo better that stacey and levi. if we can sign a center like birk or brown. that would allow the bengals to go with the bpa in the draft.
