Kazkal Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I can't really complain about them getting Hamlin at all. He would be the depth we don't currently have and like Derek said, he's not long term.Hamlin never played up to the level he'd shown at Seattle. As a depth move, sure, though I think they really erred by passing over several of the better prospects in the draft.\Ya but he also didn't have a HC like Zimmer look at the guys he had on our Defense last year...He doesn't need the superstars he just needs his type of players he can work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be watching Myron Rolle this year...Fair enough. And I certainly wouldn't have minded seeing him in stripes. But I can't help but be reminded of how many here were outraged that the Bengals passed on Ko Simpson in the 3rd round back in '06... and how underwhelming his career has been."raises his hand" I was one of those people rnd 2...rnd 3...rnd 4 bills take him awwwww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting process about 2 hours ago via Echofon />http://twitter.com/kenhamlin26#41 is Terence Newman. Does that mean the Bengals are looking at him as well -- is he even a FA?Lol it cant be newman... Gotta be someone else thats #41.. I'm guessing it's Ndukwe.It's CC Brown.

TJJackson Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 No you won't, because he won't be playing. The guy isn't any good.well, that settles it for meBased on JoeWrong's word, I am putting down a thousand dollar bet on Hamlin being named the pro bowl starter at S for the AFC this year.sign this guy, money is no object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridge Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'll grant you that as well Derek. It's always a role of the dice and as fans, we like to think we know. However, seeing the Bengals talk about AND look at adding depth at the safety position tells me they know, just like the fans, that it's an issue. For that reason, overlooking Rolle in the 6th freakin' round is where I have the most issue. Then again, that's what I think I know...Taking a WR in the 6th who was a super-productive playmaker in college was a far better move than taking some no-cover SS stiff like Rolle. Myron Rolle is a name, but he has no game. Get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_Brooks21 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Ken Hamlin does not make enough plays on the ball to constitute us signing him, he's not an upgrade over what we have and he is not signing to be on the bench as depth. Bring in Darren Sharper for a visit and that would signify to me that the Bengals are trying to whoop some butt this year. Yes, I have seen Sharper get caught out of position last year but at the same time he is a playmaker and is significantly better then Crocker or Williams.

Wraith Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Would love to add Sharper to this team but barring that, Hamlin would be a good backup option, Safeties are positioned to fail in Dallas' scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlainThePain Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I don't understand why anyone is upset we passed on Myron Rolle. He's a slow, in the box safety that can't cover. Rolle can't do anything that Ndukwe can't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
