rwjcgc Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I have a feeling they keep Elliott, the kicker they drafted this year. Not sure why though, the numbers this Preseason seem to support keeping Bullock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 They spent a 5th rounder on a kicker they can control for the next 4 years. My bet is on Elliott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Bullock's numbers during previous seasons are probably being used as his benchmark along with his preseason kicks. It would be very Bengalish to keep the draft pick even if the other guy looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 None. Cut both, cut Huber, no kicking, go for it on all 4th downs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm sure Chad Johnson would be up to get some more kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't think they go wrong. Bullock won the competition by all accounts but Elliot will be kicking in the league somewhere. Didnt realize Bullock was a former 5th round draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I remember when he was signed and there weren't many thrilled with him. I think he won the competition as well but minus Elliott screwing up massive, there wasn't much of a competition. He wasn't far from hitting that 60 yarder at the end of the game. Again, they can control him for 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Threw the draft pick away - stupid. This preseason competition was different for these two guys. The vet was probably pretty comfortable, its like his 6th camp. The rookie was dealing with everything being new, just a different game in the NFL vs college. I hope this works out.

ArmyBengal Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Picked the lesser of two kickers two rounds too early, only to cut him. Good strategy right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Can't say as I have looked to see the other players they could have taken from that pick in the 5th to their next but I'm guessing there would have been an intriguing player or two.

skyline Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 With Elliot making the practice squad, this is kind of the best of both worlds. I'm happy. In the end, though, it doesn't really matter. All we're really deciding is which kicker is going to miss the game-winning field goal in the round 1 of the playoffs. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yeah I'm happy the lesser kicker they spent the higher draft pick on is sitting on the practice squad as well. I mean at least it wasn't a complete fuck up !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Philly signs Elliot. https://www.cincyjungle.com/platform/amp/2017/9/12/16296294/eagles-jake-elliott-bengals-practice-squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Perfect. Bengals exit a game in which Bullock got zero chance to do anything and now the back up plan is gone. Guess what is going to happen? Bullock is who we thought he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 as I said in the original draft thread for Elliot - right position, wrong player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
