The Defense that could have been

Reading the RotoWorld fantasy football preview magazine last night reminded me of something...

It lists the key player from each team on offense and defense. It listed Shaun Rodgers as the Browns key player on Defense. How much better would our defense be if we had that man beast in the middle clogging up running lanes? Would we rather have him and his fat new contract or Michael Johnson (The pick we would have given up?)

IMO It hurts to think that we almost had him on our team and then let him go. In all honesty the fact that we didn't trade for a big time DT last year is a little disheartening, (Jenkins, Rodgers, Stroud) especially since all three of those guys had a huge impact on their teams defense. I like the potential that Johnson shows, but to miss out on a 28 year old pro bowl DT just makes me shake my head.

Thinking about what might have been doesn't really get us anywhere. Rodgers wouldn't have made that big a difference last year anyway. We still would've lost all those games.

I'm happy with what we've got now in Sims, Peko, and Tank. We're fine at DT.

i think it's a blessing in disguise. i would rather have sims, tank and johnson. if we would have signed shaun then the players i named would not be bengals. sims really boosted our run D last season. tank was regarded as a top tackle until he though he was tony montana. then johnson has way more potential to help this defense in more ways that shaun ever could. we lucked out by not signing another malcontent to further poison this locker room. then where was shaun when ced put up 171 on that D? then did his trade to the clowns make them a better defense, nope. but sims replacing thorton did help improve ours to the tune of a top 15 ranking.

Shaun RoDgers?

Any particular reason you are just inserting random Ds into player's names?

If we want to stay in the line of "what if", what if we had switched to a 3-4 and had Rivers, Thurman, Maualuga, and Pollack as a linebacking corps ??

Anyway...

Well, I have seen that discussion in the forum. Unfortunately, Thurman is a drunk and Pollack broke his neck. Also, if we still had those two we wouldn't have drafted Rivers or Rey. I personally would much rather have the Corps we have now.

Wait....can I play this 'what if' game?

let's see, if I had a third ball nestled snugly between righty and lefty, I could have starred in a low budget sci-fi themed porno film called "E. TJ. the Extra-Testicle.

and the glowing tip would not have been the tip of my finger......

and that would not have been a bicycle I'd have been riding through the night sky.....

(now - wasn't that imagery sooooOOOOO much better than the 'seduce marge schott' scenario proposed on another thread? or does yet another keyboard and monitor need to be purchased?)

Oh this game is fun. I think I like our current situation than all the "what ifs" posted thus far (especially the E.T. testicle thing . . . thanks for nothin'). Now a "what if" that gets me excited is having the Deltha O'Neil in '05 form on this team as the 3rd DB. JJoe and Leon as starters, Deltha in the Nickel, with duke and williams as safeties? Now that's a dirty secondary . . .

I am suprised at all the "Tool" like answers that I have received to this post.

You got dumbasses in here talking about converting their brother from a Lions fan to a Bengals fan because of the Lions losing ways. He also posts some DUMB ASS list of facts that any two year old could figure out and yet, noone gave him near as much s**t over their posts. My s**t at least had some kind of credibility and relevance to the forum.

AND PS:

ITS PRESEASON, their isn't much more to talk about other than What if's and what could becomes.

What if the Oline is healthy?

What if Chad is Chad again?

What if Carsons elbow is OK?

What if Andre doesn't sign soon?

What if....>f**k ALL THE PEOPLE THAT RESPONDED TO THIS TOPIC IN A DUMB WAY..........Kill yourself

Hey, look, all I did was point out that Fredo's rear end was getting awful lonely without JoeWrong's head tucked safely up it.

I am not crazy...lol Just pissed off.

Whats that old saying?? Oh yea....If you don't have something nice to say then shut your f**king mouth. How does that sound?

For the record, I wasn't talking to you or anyone else who wasn't a dickhead in their ensuing posts!

Anyway, I am pretty satisfied with our current DTs Pat Simds, Domato Pekdo, and Tank Johndson. I did have hopes for Jason Shirdley as well, but it looks like Clinton McDondald has impressed. :sure:

I do gotta admit I thought this was actually pretty funny. Had to read it three times to get it.

If he wants to be really technical you should be putting an apostrophe anytime you put DT in the plural form.

I'm not.

He actually caught quite a bit of flack. No one did it quite like Joe Wrong, though.

My s**t at least had some kind of credibility and relevance to the forum.

Not really. Fantasizing about what might have been is pretty useless. You could sit there forever going on about possibilities but in the end it doesn't change anything.

ITS PRESEASON, their isn't much more to talk about other than What if's and what could becomes.

What if's are more exciting to talk about than what could have been. What if's haven't happened yet and could still come to fruition. What might have been's won't ever change.

What if the Oline is healthy?

That's a good thing.

What if Chad is Chad again?

Then Chad is Chad.

What if Carsons elbow is OK?

It is.

What if Andre doesn't sign soon?

Then Collins will play right tackle.

What if....>f**k ALL THE PEOPLE THAT RESPONDED TO THIS TOPIC IN A DUMB WAY..........Kill yourself

Is it ok to correct your grammar here? That's not a properly worded question.
