kybengalsfan Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hey, that sounds like good news. Even though I believe in Marvin, I question releasing too many veterans so early. I wish they would have kept Glenn Steele. That was one guy who could have helped our weak defense yesterday. Oh, well, Marvin is learning also.

roar loud Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Ross called9-27-04, 12:05 a.m. BY GEOFF HOBSON The Bengals could be very concerned that Sunday's kneecap injury to middle linebacker Nate Webster is going to put him out of action for possibly several weeks. Adrian Ross, who had been with the club the previous six seasons before being released just before training camp, said Sunday night from California that he will be in Cincinnati Monday to take a physical.

Kirkendall Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 They need to release everyone on the front seven except for Simmons and start from stratch. This patch work job was starting to get a little frustrating after Jamal's 200th total yard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 why is Adrian Ross coming back good news? He sucks, just like the rest of the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IckeyShuffle Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Ross played the run stuffer LB role pretty well, its his coverage and lateral speed that didn't fit a Lewis defense. I can't see how it could hurt to have an aggressive run stuffer on 1st and 2nd down. Just don't ask him to cover, perhaps MLB is his best spot with caleb miller outside with his speed helping hardy.

jditty47 Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 ya im with the guy that says why ross? just cuz he knows the system doesnt make him good. I wish to god webster didnt get injured cuz he has played very good for us. I hope they put landon johnson in there or miller is healthy cuz i think they would be our best shot at it...not ross.

schweinhart Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I dunno. If Ross comes back, you're looking at the same front 7 as last year minus 2 reliable rotation DTs. Can't believe we'd see Ross in the middle because Hardy was there last year. More likely Ross would be strong side if he starts or plays at all.I like the Silent Assassin better than Miller but both are more like safeties than LBs. IMO neither flies as a MLB, but I'd rather see Landon there if it comes to that. Still, it makes more sense to me to shift Simmons back to the middle like he was when Takeo was playing. Then Landon and Miller could play weakside. Miller got abused there replacing Simmons vs. Jets, though. Speaking of Landon, did he even play vs. Ravens? I never saw his number once. Wonder if his shoulders are popping out of socket again Did see some of Wilkins, though, vs. Ravens. He might be the next in line to start at an LB position.

kevnz Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Why Ross? He's healthy, that's why. It's not like he's starting, but the team has lost how many LB's to the IR? He knows the system so if he has to go in he isn't gonna f it up cause he doesn't know the coverage that was called or pick up the right shift.

Tampa Bengal Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Nope. Bengals.com says Nate is going on IR and Ross was brought in but sent home. Looks like Miller is going to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IckeyShuffle Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Preliminary indications are that the Bengals will move third-round rookie Caleb Miller into Webster’s spot and that they won’t sign former Bengals linebacker Adrian Ross after they brought him in from California for a workout Monday afternoon. “All I know is I’m headed back home. But I think I’ll stick around a few days,” Ross said. no go on Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
