volcom69 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Bengals sign back anthony Collins which is great news. Also get DE Dereck Harvey which is whatever to me guess they want to see if Zim can get something out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Bengal Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Don't forget we actually trippled our scouting staff lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Getting Collins back is great news, especially given Moobs' uncertain future in Cincy.Harvey? Typical Bengals signing. He is decent against the run though so he could find a place in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Everyone should absolutely LOVE that Collins is coming back again. That saves what I think would have resulted in a pick being used on OT in the first three rounds somewhere. Harvey ?? Nothing to see here. It would be great if he were to realize his monster potential, but he hasn't been able to do that and couldn't even crack the starting lineup in Denver last year at DE. Maybe Zimmer can get him to give us at least what we lost in either Rucker or Fanene. I just have no faith in that happening. Hoping against hope ??

volcom69 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well Nelson was nothing too when he came here and he turned out not to bad. So I will wait and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Harvey is nothing to get excited about... but he should be able to adequately fill the role that Rucker had last year.By the sounds of things, the Bengals will be announcing two more signings on the D-Line later today. Sims and Jamaal Anderson are my guess, and I'll be happy enough with that.Mike Brown loves giving those 1st round busts a shot. While I have no expectation of them living up to their draft stock... it'll be nice if they can merely fill the shoes of Rucker and Fanene.

TJJackson Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I remember thinking*.......just one more pick ahead of us, and Derrick Harvey is still available.......thank god, the team ahead of us doesnt need a DE..........oh crap, whats this, Jacksonville jumped up a bunch of spots, and......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they took Harvey.........*and then, just before despair set in*....oh well, I guess Keith Rivers wont be a bad consolation prize........*and of course, neither player has done much of note Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Jamaal Anderson is now a Bengal as well, and should fit right in with the d-line rotation. I don't mind this pick up think Zim could get the most out of these guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rucker with less pass rush in him.I don't mind this pick up think Zim could get the most out of these guysJust once in a while it might be nice to start with some talent, versus the trash-to-average (hopefully) approach.Oh well. I suppose I should have learned to be happy with scraps by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You da man!Panthers fans seem to think it's a good signing. I know nothing about the guy but from what little I've read he sounds like an upgrade from Livings. Walter rated him the 5th best G in FA and had this to say:Travelle Wharton is mediocre in pass protection, but he's one hell of a run-blocker. He was cut because he was owed almost $6 million in 2012. Wharton will be a good signing for power-blocking teams. So props to the FO for finally getting off the schnide.

volcom69 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I hear ya Hoosier but if they feel they already have there starters then there not going to pay somebody to be a rotational player. I'll wait to see how they do I didn't think much of Nelson either, and he turned out ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 We Also signed Jamal Anderson,Him and harvey may have not been anything special yet but Zimm seems work magic with castaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwillycuse Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Though I dont generally hate these types of pick ups. It seems to promote high turnover and locker room instability since these players in their minds think they are still good. So if Zimmer breathes life into them, in a year they will think they are the player they used to be. Then demand ridiculous money or speak out because they think they know how it should be done. Lets see how Anderson and Harvey do - but everyone involved knows we got them on the cheap. I guess low risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 This team is filled with 1st round guys now it's up to the coaches to get the most out of them.After that many years, nobody cares what round you were drafted. To me, it just accentuates the fact that the Bengals likely lack decent scouting reports on current NFL players, so they dredge out the reports they had when the players were drafted. Hence why they end up with so many underperforming first rounders from yesteryear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Don't see how people can be unhappy with these pickups being not like their for sure going to male the team.plus these guys had 1sta rnd talent for a reason so maybe zimm diggs deep and finds that talent or maybe he just finds enough to replace fanene and rucker who neither one of really high ceiling guys just above avg guys who worked in rotation...does any one really see ruckee going on to have success Justin smith did? Worst case we can still draft someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
