TJJackson Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Well, regarding Boom - I jumped out of my chair on two punt defense plays late in the seasonBut as a running back, I haven't seen enough of him to say one way or the otherI look forward to watching him in offensive snaps in the preseason, especially his blocking and receiving Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 I haven't seen enough of him to say either, but apparently the Bengals have.At least that's the way it would appear. They have cheaper and possibly better options moving forward. Quote
TJJackson Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Shelf life on running backs is generally pretty low, all that pounding they take Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 They have cheaper and possibly better options moving forward.There's a lot loaded into that "possibly" there. We could really use a stud, but it appears we'll get Green-Ellis, a rookie and maybe Boom. Hopefully whoever is drafted comes through, because if they don't defenses will kill Dalton. Quote

That particular problem will only be addressed by injecting some fresh talent. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 Peerman is the answer to that question and I think the team felt the same way with the contract they offered him. Quote
TJJackson Posted April 2, 2013 Report Posted April 2, 2013 You thought I meant Cedric Benson? :-) Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 3, 2013 Report Posted April 3, 2013 You thought I meant Cedric Benson? :-)Nope, just agreeing. Quote
skyline Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 It looks like the Falcons are about to release Tyson Clabo. This even further devalues the RT market value...bad news for Andre, great news for the Bengals FO. Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Looks like the Bengals had usama young in for a visit./>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2013/4/5/4187916/bengals-hosted-free-agent-safety-usama-young Quote
Kazkal Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 At this point I would be happy if Bigdre signed with another team so I could simply stop checking to see if this was the day he signed. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Here's kind of where I am with this and my opinion has been well stated.If we could get a new RT in the draft, which would result in a long term deal for MJ, I am geting to the point where I would be cool with that.I can't say as I have really looked hard, but is there a RT that could be had without spending one of our first three picks on one ??One that could be viewed as a starter ?? I will have to look into it as well.I'm slowly moving into the "Do what you can to f*ck Dre over" mindset.Hell, bring in Tyson Clabo who was released from the Falcons and then sign MJ. Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 First Young, now another Browns castoff, TE Alex Smith, to visit.It's like they are making an extra effort to scrape the bottom of the barrel this year... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 I suppose TE should be addressed, but I can't say as this qualifies as "addressing" the position. Quote
TJJackson Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Since Felix Jones made it through all of 2012 without injury, I would not be adverse to bringing him in for vet min plus a few incentives (games active, games with yard per carry over 4, stuff like that) Quote
TJJackson Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Dan Skuta v 2.0 is on his way in for a visit/>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2013/4/9/4204560/bengals-hosting-former-eagles-linebacker-akeem-jordanNaturally, I'd still rather see them have a vet safety visit Quote

Quote
TJJackson Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 I am 100% certain that even if we signed a veteran safety *cough* *Rhodes* *cough* they'd still need to draft one high to groom Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 I am 100% certain that even if we signed a veteran safety *cough* *Rhodes* *cough* they'd still need to draft one high to groomI'm not. The only person they lost was Crocker.If they bring in another player, I could easily see them saying the don't need to draft safety now.I wish I could be at your level of certainty, but I can't.It's the whole reason I wasn't wanting to see them bring in much in the form of free agents.I suppose with the lack of depth/talent at the RB spot, that wouldn't keep them from drafting one high, but still no guarantees.Is it draft day yet ??
