COB Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Most predictable vet free agent deal of 2014. Zimmer gets his coach on the field, Crocker gets another year of work. I was at the Bills game several years ago when he got carted off after his knee got wrecked. I like to think the verbal encouragement I gave him when the golf cart drove right in front of me had a lot to do with his comeback and post-injury success. Stuff like, "Hang in there, Chris!", and "Keep your head up, Chris!", man, that can make all the difference. Quote

volcom69 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Yea I saw that, I'm sure Zim is real pleased lol. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Posted August 21, 2014 Kyle Cook calls it a career./>http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/21/report-kyle-cook-retiring-after-six-seasons/ Quote
COB Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 That is a great career for an undrafted free agent. He absolutely killed it from that perspective. He got two contracts, was a starter for a shitload of games, etc. And like our dumbass O line coaches other brilliant diamond in the rough center, he went from full season starter to not being wanted by anyone in one off-season.

GapControl Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Let's see.... Before Rich Braham??? Who was it here? I can't recall... Then Eric G. , Steinbach did a few stints at C, then Cook, Jeff Faine, Trevor Robinson, Boling a couple times because of injury... sound right? After we released Eric G. I'm pretty sure Kansas City picked him up.... Quote
Passepartout Posted August 22, 2014 Report Posted August 22, 2014 Ryan Fitzpatrick hopefully will do well as, he is not the long term however for the Texans though. Quote

Walrus Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/25/chiefs-release-11-players/Otis Hudson available ... Will the coaches look to this known quantity to address injuries sustained in last night's game? Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 Worth a look. Coaches were high on Hudson for a while but IIRC injuries eventually led to his release. They may have to bring someone in just so they have enough bodies on the o-line Thursday.In other former Bengal news, according to today's MMQB, Chris Collinsworth has bought a chunk of Pro Football Focus and so will now start pimping PFF numbers as much as possible.

Collinsworth bought part of PFF? Also - really nice the way Collinsworth gave Mike some nice words last night on the Sunday Night broadcast. Far overdue, but great to hear some guys giving credit to an owner who has always, if nothing else, cared about players as human beings. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 Yup, Collinsworth owns a chunk of PFF as of last week.Meanwhile, Mike Zimmer? Well, he thinks PFF can go F themselves.../>http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/08/25/mike-zimmer-minnesota-vikings-pro-football-focus Quote

Per the twitter, Jordan Palmer, the least accomplished yet most signed backup QB in the NFL, will soon be the property of the Buffalo Bills. Quote
Earendil Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Perhaps he's conducting an experiment to see if he can be signed by all 32 teams. Quote
jjakq27 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 They cut their second stringer to make room for JP? What the.....:frustrated:/> Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Chargers released Brandon Ghee. Bengals should sign him, then he can suffer a season-ending injury Thursday and be placed on IR. It'll be just like old times. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 It's a bad sign if you are a CB cut by the Chargers. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 James Harrison visiting Arizona today, per reports. Some believe he's trying to get Pittsburgh to make an offer like they did when Keisel went west. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 They cut their second stringer to make room for JP? What the.....:frustrated:/>/>Eh, he'll probably be there if they want him back. The move could have more to do with the fact that the Bills play Chicago in week 1 than anything else. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 James Harrison visiting Arizona today, per reports. Some believe he's trying to get Pittsburgh to make an offer like they did when Keisel went west.Cardinals are low on LB's they might want him. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 Very true. Question is, does Harrison want them? I never really got the impression he was all that thrilled to be playing in Cincy and since he got let go he's been making eyes at Pittsburgh. I think AZ would be better off looking for young LBs caught in a numbers crunch over the next week. If there's anything the Bengals have proven over the last few years it's that you can find quality linebackers among UDFAs. Quote

I think Zimmer/Guenther had a lot to do with that as well. Nonetheless that position seems to lend itself to street guys being able to fill in capably. Didn't we get Dhani off the street? Quote
