MARVIN=W'S Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I don't know about anyone else but I believe long holdouts by DP or OT severely hurt the playoff chances. We all have seen the stats about the impact long holdouts have on the rookies. They are so far behind they are far less useful than they would have been had they signed on time. All I know is come Sept. 11 we had better be starting Simmons, Thurman, and Pollack. They both need to be in the line up if this D is going to be better. IN MARVIN WE TRUST!!!!

BengalszoneBilly Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I don't know about anyone else but I believe long holdouts by DP or OT severely hurt the playoff chances. Hold on now. These holdouts just aren't happening to Cincinnati. EVERY team in the league is being affected, and I heard as of this past weeked:NOT ONE TEAM IN THE ENTIRE NFL HAS SIGNED THEIR #1 DRAFT PICK!So don't freak. It ain't just us. We're all in this same s***y, stinkin' boat. We all have seen the stats about the impact long holdouts have on the rookies. They are so far behind they are far less useful than they would have been had they signed on time. Good point. I wonder if Chris "Two Carry" Perry would advise about doing so now?His holdout worked wonders for him, did it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Err, I think the number 1 pick has signed, as has the DT in Philly, and maybe some others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the whole success of the 2005 Bengals hinge on 2 rookies the team is in worse shape than any of us could have imagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I can't imagine there being any long holdouts. The only one that worries me there is Thurman, and I am still sure he will be signed soon. I don't think any of our picks will miss more than two days of camp. Pollack himself said he doesn't wan't to miss camp because of contractual disagreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
