membengal Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Clinton mcdonald headed to seattle.Jennings becomes our 3rd cb i would guess. Quote
jonahdsage Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Don't know much about this guy. Reedy just reported via twitter:"bengals trade DT Clinton McDonald to seahawks for CB Kelly Jennings"I thought Clinton was having a big preseason . . . anyone know about Jennings? Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Well, I guess that answers any question about Pacman: he'll be PUP'd, if not outright IR'd.Mixed feelings. Bengals needed to address CB with Jones unavailable. But McDonald was developing nicely. Might have got caught in a numbers game on the line, tho. Quote

Might have got caught in a numbers game on the line, tho.Jennings will be a great nickle corner for this team!McDonald, well i actully liked him, but maybe now they can go after a guy like Javon Haye who just got relesed from Titans. Oh well they needed a corner bad, and i like the Jennings signingWasnt Jennings a starter there?? Quote

volcom69 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 My guess would be that they feel pretty good about the DT depth, but not so great with the CB depth, i think its the only reason why they make this trade. Im guessing he will be the nickle, and Trent will also play as the 4th corner? I guess they just felt they needed depth, which we know they did so the trade does make sense.I wonder now if Shirley will be getting his chance to play, or they will get another DT for the rotation Quote
Stripes Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Ehhhh... don't like it at all right now, but we'll see how it goes. A 3rd corner is probably more valuable than a 4th or 5th DT, but I'm concerned Seattle got the better player. Quote
membengal Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Fanbases generally are not in situations like this.Good deal. We needed the help at cb and i am glad they are not going to run short for four weeks while waiting on pacman. Quote

Im not to worried, what Zim and Coyle does with DB well its just awsome, so ill wait and see with this. Quote
cincyhokie Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Sims, Atkins, Peko, Shirley, MikaleleI had forgotten about Mikalele. He's played pretty well thus far. Quote
volcom69 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 John Clayton said on twitter that it was a smart move with Jones going on pup, and Jennings could start Quote
HairOnFire Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 A very solid move IMHO. BTW, how many trades does a team have to make before it can be reclassified as "trade-happy'? Quote
HairOnFire Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Sims, Atkins, Peko, Shirley, MikaleleI had forgotten about Mikalele. He's played pretty well thus far. I have no problem with Shirley making the final roster, but if the Bengals are trying to open up a spot for a defensive lineman I hope it's DE, not an extra DT. Specifically, Victor A. Quote
Sea Ray Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 I was watching the Seahawks opener a couple weeks ago vs SD with a good friend of mine who has season tickets to the Seahawks games and after Jennings gave up a long completion he railed about how bad he was and how little he thought of the guy. That was unsolicited at the time. Little did I know he'd be in Bengal gear before long. I will call him up and tell him what I think. That is that he won this deal. Let's not expect much here Quote
Sea Ray Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Does this mean Ghee didn't work out here? Quote

Specifically, Victor A.He's played well too. He's a big body that's been one of the reasons they've stopped the run so well. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Does this mean Ghee didn't work out here?I don't think Ghee has played this whole camp/preseason, has he? Hammy injury, I think. Sounds like he's headed for PUP or IR if he isn't just cut. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Sims, Atkins, Peko, Shirley, MikaleleI had forgotten about Mikalele. He's played pretty well thus far.Breaking: Mikaele was waived (injured) today. Quote

Sounds like he's headed for PUP or IR if he isn't just cut.I think he played special teams vs Carolina. I don't think they can PUP him Quote
Sea Ray Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Bengals site confirms he did play:Also returning are running back Bernard Scott, cornerback Brandon Ghee and rookie wide receiver Ryan Whalen, all battling hamstring injuries.>http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Green-Dalton-gang-up-on-Newton/470e9a10-bf7b-495d-bd7e-017fb2f66672 Quote

cHaD711Johnson Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 Good move. I'd be worried if he were to start over Clements, but he can succeed as a Nickel CB. Always good having another guy from The U as well. Quote
