Kazkal Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just wondering is it me or does seem like he's the one making calls on defense? Just seems like to me he seemed like surpassed Mauluga as leader on the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 He is because Burfict is a 3 down LB, where Rey comes out on Nickle defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Huh? He's still the starting WLB technically, and Rey plays 3 downs too. Yes it seems he is making the calls (natural for him, talks after every play). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it seems he is making the calls (natural for him, talks after every play).This year Rey was not a 3 down LB, that why Lamur was so important to the defense. I don't know now if Rey will play the Nickle again or not, I'm really hoping he dosnt. My other guess is they are trying to make things very simple for Rey, so he dosnt have to think as much.

skyline Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I guess this explains it. From Hobson:Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said the other day that Maualuga is having the best preseason of his five NFL seasons. Maualuga says some of the pressure has been taken off him because since Burfict never comes off the field, he's the guy now wearing the radio helmet. And while Burfuct sets the huddle and calls the signals, Maualuga sets the front."Now I can just go play," Maualuga said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Whatever helps take the mental aspect out of it for Rey i'm a fan of.Use the K.I.S.S. method and keep it simple stupid.HEY REY, GO KILL THE QB !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
