ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 So far the UDFA's are very less than expected.This year may not be the best time for UDFA's either.Anyway around, they pick where they play. Would you pick Cincinnati unless you had no other option ??As much as I love it here, I probably wouldn't. Quote
COB Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Anyway around, they pick where they play. Would you pick Cincinnati unless you had no other option ??As much as I love it here, I probably wouldn't.This exact thought has been nagging at me in regards to the Jonathon Joseph situation. Just a feeling, but I feel like he's not going to sign with the Bengals. He's got options, and the way things sit right now with this franchise, the situation just lends itself to Joseph walking out of here. He's unrestricted, correct? The Bengals don't have the right to match any offer and keep him, if I understand his status correctly. Quote
Walrus Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 JJoe has to be the priority hands down and I don't really think there is a close second.However:RB- Benson has issues and if Dalton is starting, they need some veteran presence at that position.Guard- Bobbie is older and in his last year. Boling is a rookie and the rest suck monkey balls.Backup QB- I hope Jordan gets cut. No one looking to be the starter will come here. Think Gradkowski as best option.Safety- Are the hopes and dreams of the position pinned on Reggie Nelson ??Madieu, anyone? Quote
HairOnFire Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Also: Arizona kicker Thomas Weber. Very well. Let the permanent record now show that on this date and on this hour I am officially off the Mike Nugent bandwagon/ambulance and have now planted my flag on yonder hill while loudly declaring my undying manlove for whoever the f**k Thomas Weber might be. Furthermore, due to the competiton Nugent will now have for the PK job I'm now reducing this seasons projected over/under for the total number of Mike Nugent's leg related injuries from five to three. Please adjust your scorecards. Quote

True story. Last season I was in a bar watching a game with some friends when I hear announcer Matt Millen loudly screaming about the last play and how the safety responsible for giving up a TD had taken...."the worst tackling angle I've ever seen in my life." Guess who? Quote

volcom69 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 I was hoping they would be looking at the center from TCU Kirkpatrick, i think his name was. He would be a great undrafted free agent if they could get him. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Marvin is about to be interviewed on NFL Network for anyone interested in the 2011 version of saying a lot without saying anything at all. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Marvin didn't miss a beat in how he handles interviews. Said exactly what you would expect, nothing...That guy should be a politician. Quote

volcom69 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 The bengals better make a move Jjoe ASAP if they want to keep him. Guys are flying off the market in a hurry here, so lets hope they get something done. If they can that will make it a happy night for me, they cant wait forever! Quote

Guys are flying off the market in a hurry here, so lets hope they get something done. If they can that will make it a happy night for me, they cant wait forever!It's the Bengals, they will wait around, wait for something to fall into their laps, or wait for another team to set the market price. It's what they always do, why expect anything else? They...do...not...change...ever. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 So they got 12 camp fodder guys and all that extra time to evaluate and try to make something happen equates to zero.Even with some of the holes we have, I bet not a single of the 12 make the roster.I know those guys pick where to go, but d*mn.I was really hopeful... Quote
HoosierCat Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 I bet not a single of the 12 make the roster.My money is on Jonathan Williams. He's already got arrests for DWI and domestic violence. He's got Bengal written all over him. Quote
