derekshank Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Not sure how he is a blocker, and he is getting older, but the Texans released him, and he was a stud just a couple years ago. He's certainly a better receiver than any TE we have... but I don't know about his blocking, which seems to be pretty important to the coaching staff. Does anyone else know more about him, and if the Bengals are in the market... or are we only looking at safeties? Quote
LABengalsFan09 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Stats have declined in each of the last 3 seasons....We should pass on this one. The best TE may be Patrick Hape whom is expected to be released by the Broncos tomorrow. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 we got reggie kelly its all good Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 If, Marvin means what he says, "we don't keep players just because they're good guys any longer," then he'll cut Stewart and sign someone with more upside or ability, if there is one. Pape and Miller both seem like cases of that to me if they aren't signed by someone else first, if they are minimum salaried players at this point, dunno. Quote
Stripes Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I don't think we'll be seeing any new tight ends with the Bengals until the 3rd round or later of the 2006 draft. Marvin doesn't think it's a pressing need, and so far, what he had said, has gone. Quote
walshfan Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 We really miss Reggie Kelly.. Is there any doubt now how valuable he is to the offensive line...Its like having another OT in there......glad to have him back.. Quote
Kazkal Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Meh we got matt schobel he'll get the job done Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Hmmm. His name has a nice ring to it to me. I say pick him up, he's bound to be good! Actually, I think we're just fine in the TE department. I know many others here will beg to differ! Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Schobel has looked much better during this preseason than in years past. I'm taking a break from calling for him to be cut (or drawn and quartered) until he fouls up at least 2 games in a row. Quote
skyline Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I've always liked Schobel. I think the sad fact is that Brats system doesn't utilize the TE as a receiver. They do it occasionally, but they're out there to block more than anything.Therefore, the Bengals will show no interest in this guy whatsoever. Quote
AMC Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I prefer not to make the focus of the offense a TE...the 3 TE complimentary system is not bad IMO...but the days of Rodney Holman were pretty sweet...I just hope we don't tip our play packages, based on which TE is in the game....Kelly =blocking etc...

HairOnFire Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I'm drawing a blank on his name right now but the Carolina Panthers have a 280 lb. TE whose clinging to the bottom of their roster. I couldn't take my eyes off him during the 2nd half of the Brownie game. Moves real well, has soft hands, blocked well against backups, and I think he actually killed a Brownie DB who tried to tackle him after a sweet catch. Granted, I know my support for this player would seem more impressive if I could remember the guys name but I can't seem to access that file in my wetware. Quote
kmhbengalfan Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Haironfire, is the Tight end you speak of Chad Muster or Michael Gaines? Quote
HairOnFire Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Haironfire, is the Tight end you speak of Chad Muster or Michael Gaines? It was Gaines. I know absolutely nothing about the guy and I'm not going to predict stardom or anything of the sorts. But he did catch my eye and if his name shows up on a cut list I'll be curious where he ends up.

HoosierCat Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Oh, you people are killing me, c'mon, didn'y you hear?The Chargers released Sean Brewer!!!Eff Miller and Gaines, go get the dee-oh-gee!!! Quote
TJJackson Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 He said he'd be right over to sign a FA at PBS, just as soon as he's had a few beers and finished off a couple of cigs Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 The Bengals desperately need a complete TE of some sort, that doesn't get hurt constantly. Quote
HairOnFire Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Oh, you people are killing me, c'mon, didn'y you hear?The Chargers released Sean Brewer!!!Eff Miller and Gaines, go get the dee-oh-gee!!! Add your boy Danny Farmer to the scrap heap...err....scrap book. I mentioned Gaines only because he's the type of player I'd be pounding the bushes for. Young, raw, and physically gifted. If he gets cut I'd be very interested. As for the idea of signing an old retread....I'm tired of that. (Pun intended.) Quote
Kazkal Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 The Bengals desperately need a complete TE of some sort, that doesn't get hurt constantly. A complete TE won't come cheap or often how many are there out their that are a awesome blocker and receiver? I thought matt has improved as a blocker in the redskin game I say we just stick with what we have Quote
