COB Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 Hate that Mays is still here. Johnson is better backup QB if Andy goes down in third quarter sometime and a defense that game planned for Andy has to try to deal with Johnson. If Andy is lost for several games and teams have to game plan to stop one of them, I believe Skelton would be the better guy then. More accurate passer who could execute the offense with more precision. He is also likely to stay healthy over a several game stretch. Johnson is our OC's boy, so if that blows up it's all on him.Boom will get picked up and I think he'll be a serviceable depth guy somewhere. They must see something in Burkehead, looks like just a guy to me.Schaffer will be on the 53 before this season is over, I think. Just needs more experience and work. Quote
cHaD711Johnson Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 Skelton was still trying to learn the system and he absolutely sucked with Larry Fitzgerald as his go to option in Arizona. I'll go with Johnson for higher upside, familiarity with the system, and playmaking ability with his feet. Quote

I'll go with Johnson for higher upside, familiarity with the system, and playmaking ability with his feet.For sure plus he wasn't really west coast QB more of a carson palmer backup,Plus nice thing with Johnson maybe they can utilize him as wildcat style QB every now and then.

Stripes Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 I forgot about Hawkins. I think they hope to bring Schaffer aboard when he is IRed. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Posted September 1, 2013 Burkhead is tough and i'm glad he made it.It's not to say I didn't like Boom, I just like Burkhead more.Nothing but good wishes for Boom !!! Quote
TJJackson Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Hate that Mays is still here.x100really, really angry about thispissed Taint is still on the team as well but the decision to keep Mays earns all of my ire plus some I have to borrow as well Quote
TJJackson Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Marvin is talking about picking up this guy, who is clearly quite versatile. albeit a greybeard/>http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2012/07/bryan-scotts-position-where-should-we-start.html Quote
TJJackson Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Here's the practice squad quarterback I want: />http://www.tennessean.com/article/20130829/SPORTS01/308290053/Tennessee-Titans-Rusty-Smith-battles-numbers-gameThey'll need to offer him a bit more than ps minimum and possibly a signing bonus to get him though Quote

I would be fine with it. Quote
TJJackson Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Prater signed with the Eagles Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Prater signed with the EaglesThey must have read Hobson's story. Quote
TJJackson Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 the one with all the fluffy goodness? Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Reedy sez Cobi passed through waivers and will be on the PS. Good deal. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Fragel just tweeted he's on the PS. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 TJ Johnson on the PS per Hobs. Quote
jking191 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Practice squad so far:Herron, Fragel, Johnson, Lewis-Harris, Hamilton, McCalebb, SchafferYou can keep 8 on there, so I'm guessing they are still scouring the waiver wire. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 It will be a QB. There is some chatter they are after McElroy.Also heard they had Howard in for a visit. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Posted September 2, 2013 Man, I love that practice squad.Capable of coming in if there is a need and being able to produce.Well done Bengals.Howard won't bother me if he's good with that ACL injury. Quote
jjakq27 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 What, no calls for the Tebow Train? In all seriousness I like McElroy. If they can get him I say they've strengthened the team. JJohnson can mix it up with is skills while McElroy could eventually be a long term starter if AD goes down. Quote
jjakq27 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 This. McElroy to the PS./>http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000237252/article/practice-squad-roundup-greg-mcelroy-bengalbound Quote
skyline Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 This. McElroy to the PS.http://www.nfl.com/n...roy-bengalboundNice. I'm good with that. Quote
GapControl Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 So there is the taxi squad.qb. knew they had to have 3 qbs somehow. I still miss moch and prater though. Not sure lewis.harris was rated much higher than those two Quote
GapControl Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Am I the only one dumbfounded that Hobson references PFT for on players cut,being he's in stadium around the team that he would know before another news site o.OIts freakin bizarre i think. Hell- i could do that and i live in japan Quote
