Pick 1 (or 2)

[BengalNation1281]

DT Shaun Rogers

SS Ed Reed

I'm going a different direction from most, and looking at the players age along with their production because I want someone who we could have for a LONG time.

1. Kevin Williams, DT, Minnesota. In his second year in the league, he has had 10.5 and 11.5 sacks in his first two seasons. At 6'5", 311 pounds, he clogs the middle and has forced two fumbles as well. He'd be a great guy at a position of need.

2. Ed Reed. He's only in his 4th year, and he's one of the best strong safeties in the league. Plus it would hurt the Ratbirds to lose him.

Damn, that was an inspired choice. I wasn't even thinking about Kevin Williams, and he's already one of the best DTs in the NFC.

Bravo to you, sir.

You beat me to it. As I was reading the endless string of Ed Reed's plus (name your own defensive lineman from Freeney, Stroud, Jenkins, Peppers, etc.), the name Kevin Williams came to my mind too. I may be a little biased because the first two guys I added to my Madden Bengals were Reed and K. Williams.

It's amazing how everyone instantly chose Reed. He's obviously a stud, but I wonder if fans from a different division would think as highly of him as we do. I guess he was the Defensive Player of the Year, so we're probably not alone.

Good pointless question. Obviously we all agree that Reed is a STUD!!

[Beow]

Todd Heap

Cory Simon

[Jet23]

Ed Reed

Richard Seymour

[kentjett]

I would take either Peppers or Freeney(both equally as productive)Freeney has better numbers but Peppers has more talent.Then I would have to go w/ SS Roy Williams,I believe he is better than Ed Reed.He is the hardest hitting player in the league.Williams and Reed are in a league of their own,nobody elses name should be mentioned when it comes to strong safety.

[The Big Orange]

Troy Polomalualoalolaolo

Freeeeeeeeeenyy

[TJJackson]

Corey Dillon and Takeo Spikes

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

(having a hard time stopping my laughter)

Let's get Carl Pickens back in here too, ok?

[Kazkal]

Reed+Jason taylor

or

Thomas Davis/Jason taylor

I woulden't mind having Winslow if hes not all hype if we had a threat like him at TE would be crazy

[schweinhart]

Thomas Davis would have been great... But I'd don't think the Bengals had any other thought than drafting Pollack in the 1st rd. He is a 1st rate a$$ kicker.

[Kazkal]

Yup at first I wanted to cry when I saw panthers draft davis...(favorite nfc team)

But then as soon as I saw pollack I feel in love with him <3 it would be cool if we could "aquire" Thomas somehow though Sure he would fit in with pollack and odell

[Kazkal]

Aren't the ravens having problems resigning Reed? mybe we can have the chance of picking him up this or next year once we cut nate webster.

[bengalboy40]

i envision us gettin some cap relief in the next couple years...guys we will get rid of-

simmons

j. smith

thornton

james

warrick (sadly)

webster

all these guys make a decent chunk of cash...will free up some loot to start nabbin free agents....ed reed *cough*...dwight freeney *cough* *cough*

[Kazkal]

I don't wanna see j. smith go till we atleast have 2 DE's better then him

atm we may have 1 but it's not for sure.

[DesperateDerelict]

So, let me get this straight . . . according to (almost) all of the previous posters, if we sign Ed Reed as a FA in 2006 and draft the very best DL, we will be prohibitive favorites to win the AFC?

Maybe Mikey Brown is finally right . . . we're only a player or two away!
