Kenny Irons

What the hell ever happened to him? I know the Bengals don't need him. But still. He looked like a good prospect

His knee got wasted. He's done.

[JoePong]

He's hanging out with Charles Fisher and Dennis Weathersby.

He's busy being the living antithesis of the "running backs are a dime a dozen, get a good line and anyone will do" sentiment you've recently seen promulated on the pay or don't pay Ced thread.

Cedric Benson's are a dime a dozen? Running backs bust out all the time, counting on a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round running back is too much of a gamble when we've got a cadillac just waiting to be gassed up.

Which way to the Charles Fisher thread?

Which way to the Charles Fisher thread?

It's right above the Ki-Jana Carter thread.

I'm not so sure your rationale supports your conclusions. Irons didn't bust, he got hurt. Ced could get hurt too, so if it doesn't make sense to gamble on a 2nd round RB, the risk of an expensive FA RB is certainly higher. If a RB can shred his ACL at any time, I'd rather have a good, deep line.

Of course, to an extent it's a false dichotomy, unless Ced ends up wanting a fortune. I'd rather they didn't have to make such a choice.

Suh-weet.

When's Carter due back?

My point is that we know what we have with Ced. A great player.

A draft pick, we have no idea - great, mediocre, made of glass, lacks heart, you could end up with anything. I consider Irons a bust in that he didn't rehab with any purpose, was basically partying and smoking weed, then posted a video on youtube about it and got cut. I think he could have come back if he'd tried.

Off topic, but it seems like the Bengals couldn't get away from that pick fast enough. Compared to Jerome Simpson, who must be walking Mike Brown's dog or something the way they're bringing him along.

When's Carter due back?

As soon as Chris Perry can give him a ride to PBS.

Hey hey, don't be giving TJ's job away. You remember he said he was taking the Seahawks to the playoffs and based upon their record we can only assume he DROVE them there. He's the man to go get Carter to PBS, plus he knows the location, so that's a plus.

Sorry AB, how forgetful of me.

Wonder if he stays in Seattle now that Pete Carroll is there. New brooms sweep. Maybe we can trade them Coles for TJ, straight up.

I'd rather have Coles than TJ. TJ would be much more productive, but at least he wouldn't divide the locker room up. I doubt Marvin would want him back either.
