volcom69 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Raiders lb, thomas howard. 2 year deal.Nobody talking much about this guy, but i actully like this move alot. Thomas Howard at one time for the Raiders was a beast, not sure what happened last year, but he was a great player. So i like this move for depth or possible starting who knows, but i guess this mean Dhani might be done?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Raiders lb, thomas howard. 2 year deal.Good value pickup. Howard's been productive and has a good character rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Looks like Keith Rivers got hurt in the offseason and just had sugery. He will likely miss the first couple of weeks, so i think Howard will be starting for him.....i like the signing even more. Sucks for Rivers, but Howard is a really good LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks for Rivers, but Howard is a really good LBYup, Hobson says wrist injury. Frankly, Rivers has been underwhelming, maybe some competition will get him going.

wpeldios Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I like Thomas Howard. I dont see him as an all pro, but th guy can contribute. As for Gradkowski i give it a big whatever. Not for it, not against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just call him the second coming of Brian Simmons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yeah Howard will likely be an upgrade to Rivers, or Rey-Rey. I think they need another LB to step-up or to find someone, but that won't happen until next season after they realize they needed someone this year.

generaldreedle Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Just checked this guys stats on ESPN. 12 games played; 9 tackles; 0 sacks. Is it just me, or is this guy a waste of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 OK, now it's getting embarrassing. Remember Brandon Jackson? Bengals were interested right?He just signed.For a whole $2.25 million/year.With CLEVELAND./>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2011/7/28/2301914/running-back-brandon-jackson-signs-two-year-deal-with-clevelandPardon me, I have to go to Home Depot and buy some rope and a chair...

Is it just me, or is this guy a waste of time?I love the Thomas Howard pick up, dont look at last year stats, check out the stats from before that. I know Rivers is hurt but with this signing i can see him playing great, might even earn the starting role. Great pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 In a much-needed (for me, anyhow) bit of good news, Reedy says the Bengals have reached a 2-year deal with Brian Leonard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 And why is Brandon Johnson not re-signed yet ?? He has been a better player than Rivers and with the thought of him being out, why not ??The Chiefs cut Guard Brian Waters and while he's older, I wouldn't mind him.I still think they need to be looking at the Guard tandom from Atlanta for upgrades.Why the f*ck are they sitting on their hands ??So much for priorities.

rwalling Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 From my perspective the front office has until about end of day tomorrow to restore some confidence in the locker room and the fan base. Otherwise, fast forward to 2-14 rebuilding year. If that's the case, I wish we had held out for the Luck kid from Stanford #1 next year.
