ArmyBengal Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 I know Erving has played LT during his college time, but is rarely ever mentioned in regards to playing there in the NFL.I have seen it mentioned, but not in great depth. It seems more of a passing thought to mention it, as opposed to projecting him there. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah, most seem to see Erving as a center. It sounds like he'd be an upgrade over Bodine, but I don't see them giving up on him so quickly. We all know how Alexander is with his pet projects (see Ghaicuic, Eric; Bear, The Dancing).I'm getting the feeling that no matter who they pick, my reaction is likely to be "meh." Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 With Gregory being a dumbass and failing his drug test at the combine, the mocks show the obvious that the Bengals take him at #21.To start, there is still a team ahead of us that will take the chance on him.Second, he's projected as a 3-4 OLB and doesn't even fit.Third, why take that kind of risk when the guy enters the league in the substance abuse program ??I just think it's so lazy to simply say the Bengals are the team to pick this guy since he has a red flag now.I still don't think OLB should be overlooked at this point.I don't know who that player might be, but have to figure it's a good thought.

HoosierCat Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Posted March 30, 2015 I think OLB is probably the one position where they could take someone who has a chance to make an immediate impact. One name that keeps getting batted around is Eric Kendricks./>http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/eric-kendricks?id=2552312I know the Bengals are hopelessly f**king stubborn about moving LBs, but imagine a best-case scenario of Kendricks on the weak side, Burfict in the middle and FNR on the strong side.

Scottishbengal Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 Brandon Tate visited with Kansas City Chiefs yesterday />http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/3/30/8315161/chiefs-host-bengals-free-agent-brandon-tate(KC - please sign him ....PLEASE) Quote
GapControl Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 Fluff piece over at the spin zone on how the national media is ecstatic with bengals free agency. I'm not a big fan of "when we get these injured players back" because one never knows how a pro athlete will recover. Also mentioned how smart the Boling resigning is. Put me in the camp that Whit is many many many many many many times better at LG than Boling (to paraphrase Marvin) and the Bengals would be better of with a young LT Quote

HoosierCat Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 Bengals, Ravens and Browns all chasing some scrub TE named Housler./>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/4/1/8328317/quick-snap-who-is-rob-housler Quote
GapControl Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Seen him some last year... Very very raw. Very inconsistent Quote
Scottishbengal Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 I've had a feeling that Gresham would come back ... and I still think it's a very likely (the most likely??) scenario so I wonder if entertaining Housler is an indication that Gresham may not be ready for the season following surgery. I have no idea about the rehab on surgery of herniated discs so I'm just thinking aloud here. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Don't shoot the messenger of the Tate news.I was hoping it was an April Fools joke, but can't help but think it's nothing more than insurance.I still think there are other TE's in the draft that will give us more than what Gresham will be capable of.

HoosierCat Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 WR Denarius Moore in town for a visit. Had a down year last year but for the three years prior was good for 700ish yards and 5 TDs a year./>http://www.nfl.com/player/denariusmoore/2495315/profileWould be a solid pickup and terrific insurance in case Marvin Jones has problems coming back from injury. Quote
HoosierCat Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Posted April 2, 2015 Bengals sign QB Josh Johnson (again). The back to the future trend continues...I swear, the winds of change are so strong Im having trouble standing up. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 F*cking Josh Johnson ?? Seriously ?? Not that I see him sticking, but WTF ?? Just draft a QB late or bring one in as a FA prospect.Neither one will have a snowballs chance in hell.Moore would certainly hit from a speed perspective.Would hate to see him or Tate stopping them from addressing it in the draft.

kingwilly Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 WR Denarius Moore in town for a visit.

That's not Dalton, as we know.I, too, hope if he is signed it does not deter them from taking top WR prospect, r1 or r2. Quote
Scottishbengal Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 Moore would certainly hit from a speed perspective.Would hate to see him or Tate stopping them from addressing it in the draft.Amen to that, brother ! Quote
UK Bengal Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 I seriously doubt tate hangs this year and josh Johnson has been brought in for a measuring stick for McCarron both vet min so can be cut with ease. Quote
TJJackson Posted April 3, 2015 Report Posted April 3, 2015 still want our 2014 backup re-signed Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted April 4, 2015 Report Posted April 4, 2015 still want our 2014 backup re-signedretiring isn't he? Quote
Passepartout Posted April 5, 2015 Report Posted April 5, 2015 McCarron is learning from Andy Dalton for now! Quote
