BengalszoneBilly Posted March 19, 2005 Report Posted March 19, 2005 What is our weakest strength on offense? I know the term "weakest strength" is not the most sensible title, but give it a go anyway. Quote
PalmertotheJohnsons Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 no-brainer...TIGHT END! Reggie Kelly/Matt Schobel/Tony Stewart just don't do it for me. What gets me is the performance these guys had in 03-04...i can't give you exact numbers for catches but it seemed like they all had a bunch of catches. Then this season they became non-existant! If we could get a game-breaker in the mold of T. Gonzalez or A. Gates this offense might never punt next year! Quote
TJJackson Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 I am no fan of the "specialized" TE. I want TE's who can do both so that it isn't so freaking obvious what the Bengals are going to do on any given offensive play based on the TEs we send onto the field.We don't have a three down TE as far as I know. Was hoping that Reggie Kelly was that guy, but he doesn't appear to be. Quote

walshfan Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 As for the TE position....Id like to see them draft Matt Jones 6'6 242lbs.. runs a sub 4.4......the m;ismatches he could create would be limitless... versatile enough to even play wideout..... Quote
Beaker Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 We dont have TEs capable of scaring anybody. That said, depth on the O line is always a high priority. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Posted March 20, 2005 We dont have TEs capable of scaring anybody. That said, depth on the O line is always a high priority. This post pretty much covers what I got from the poll. Tight End hands down. Happy jditty? Quote
jditty47 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 yes. billy, when will u realize that im always right? and i do agree depth at oline is always a priority, but TE is the main priority/main problem. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Posted March 20, 2005 yes. billy, when will u realize that im always right? and i do agree depth at oline is always a priority, but TE is the main priority/main problem. It's your percieved problem. I don't see any real glaring weaknesses in the offense.Can you guys imagine...***doodle-la-doo, doodle-la-doo, doodle-la-doo("Waynes World" type transition)***...A Bengals offensive line that is so dominant, that Rudi runs at will (bear with me Pushy) and the opposition defenses play primarily to stop the run, totally freeing Carson Palmer to plunder their secondarys at his discretion!?! Oh MAN!! I gotta go change my freakin' shorts after that little trip!! Quote
jditty47 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Posted March 20, 2005 isnt TE on the line? improving the TE position will improve our run game. do you not agree mr broome? Quote

BengalPappaw Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 I wish we had separated out positions along the O-line. Because I believe C is our weakest position on the line. AND, I believe we are weaker at C that at TE, but with the choices given -- as a group our TEs are weaker than our overall O-line. IMHO I believe that it is more important for us to get a good C that to get another TE. We can live with the TEs we have -- but if we don't get a good C, I believe the line crumbles up the middle and Carson's knee are being threatened again. Come on ML gets us a GOOD Center. Quote
Kirkendall Posted March 21, 2005 Report Posted March 21, 2005 Hands down TE. If it was a more position oriented poll, then I agree, we need to address center -- hell, I don't think we have a starter signed on yet! Quote
