derekshank Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Reggie Tongue? He'd be a better backup at SS than anyone else we have, but my guess is he is overpriced, and he was pretty much a bust last year for the Jets. I think in his 10 years in the NFL he has lost a step, and doesn't have as much range.He can sure put a licking on RB's though.

Kirkendall Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Scouts.com rates Reggie Tongue exactly the same as Kim Herring -- a 71.Tongue has good size, speed, and power. Shows excellent short-area burst and is a very physical strong safety. Is tough versus the run and is a physical presence in the middle of the field versus the pass. Has enough strength to hold ground at the point of attack and can line up in the box. Is extremely active, can make plays from sideline-to-sideline and does a nice job of getting to the ball carrier when filling against the run. Overall range in coverage has improved with experience and is fast enough to cover the deep half of the field. Can be overaggressive at times and recognition skills are inconsistent. Overall, Tongue isn't a prototypical strong safety because he lacks ideal size but he makes up for what he lacks in physical stature with craftiness and athleticism.However, important to note, the Scouts.com report is heading into the 2004 season and not current. So take for it what it is. A guide of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Scouts.com rates Reggie Tongue exactly the same as Kim Herring -- a 71. Maybe... but I think we can all agree that Herring had an awful year last year. I expect Herring to play much more up to his potential this year... at least more so than last year, with all his rust.So if Herring played poorly last year, and Tongue is ranked exactly the same, I think we can assume that Tongue would play poorly for us. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind having another SS, (and perhaps Tongue also underacheived last year) but Marvin seems happy with the secondary we have, so I wouldn't look for this move, unless as bengalsLB said... for the minimum.

walshfan Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Reggie Myles and Terrell Roberts are going to be given the opportunity to make it at safety.. I think Myles ( with his bulked up frame ) can handle the job.. Roberts is going to get allot of snaps back there as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofLnMU Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I must admit the first thing that went through my mind was...Reggie Tongue is still in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBin2k7 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Wasn't it Tounge that intercepted Big Ben in the playoffs and took it to the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Wasn't it Tounge that intercepted Big Ben in the playoffs and took it to the house. Sounds damn familiar.Wonder what Lester Lyles and them Jets fans think about Tongue getting axed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smizzy Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yes it was him who took that INT to the house but the guy was horrible for the first 3/4 of the season....awful.No big loss here except for on the depth chart. John McGraw is more then capable al long as he can stay healthy. which in his case is asking alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterLyles Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I think the Bengals would be better off w/ Schulters. Yes, Tounge was the guy that picked Big Ben and took it to the house but that throw was so off, it wasn't even funny. Tounge got hurt in training camp, was replaced by Eric Coleman and didn't get back in the starting lineup until J. McGraw got injured. He was in D. Henderson'd dog house pretty much all year. He can't move anymore and gave up some big plays. The rams really exposed him the last week of the season. I would pass, fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 We aren't signing Shulters either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 If Smizzy and LesterLyles say pass on Tongue, that's solid enough to end any notion about Tongue in my mind. Thanks for the insight. Schulters is only marginally interesting due to injury and how much of an upgrade he would possibly be over Herring. It would be wise to have a backup for Herring in addition to Mitchell in the event Mitchell just can't get it done.But if it comes to that, I believe we would see Madieu at SS.
