Hope so... I head some guys on the radio talking about the Georgia Bulldogs, wondering if they were going to be real contenders this year. The guy said they would have a hard time, since they lost their two best defenders, Pollack, and Thurman... no mention of Thomas Davis, the SS that most of us were pissed that the Saints took before he got to us. Sounds like it worked out for the best. Hopefully Georgia's two best defenders will be Cincy's 2 best defenders some day.

I thought the Panthers ended up with Thomas Davis, but oh well no matter. Odell has looked awesome in the preseason, and if he plays like that all year, he'll have a better than Vilma season. I'm excited about our linebackers this year. They'll make their youthful mistakes, but boy are the talented. We still have Simmons to keep 'em in line.

Could be... I don't remember who got him, I just remember that the Saints were supposed to take him right before us. I didn't bother looking it up because, I don't really care. He wasn't one of Georgia's two best defenders, and he went before either of them.

better measurables...

haven't saw any preseason games but i saw a some georgia games and he was a tackling machine just a monster... pollack burst was crazy

[Bengals4Me]

For the record, FS Thomas Davis went to Carolina as the 14th pick of the draft.

[superdrool]

Dawg here... Just wanted to set something straight.

The top 2 defenders for UGA last year were David Pollack and Thomas Davis, hands down and not necessarily in that order. Odell may turn out to be a better pro than both, but that doesn't change the previous statement.

[Who?]

I notice Braylon Edwards wasn't on the list at all.. what do you guys think he will do this year? Odell I think will be the leading tackler for you guys this year, Landon Johnson did it last year.

This is pretty much a guess in the dark, but if I had to predict Braylon's rookie statistics, here they are:

38 receptions

550 yards

4 TDs

[Spain]

Who, This guy is going to suck as the QB carousel continues, Although it wnt be his fault.

Who?, you should be happy about these projected stats from Touchdown....Cleveland QBs are going to have a total of 56 completions all year!

[bengalindian]

Is anyone surprised that Logan Mankins, a potential nobody in April, is going to have a huge impact for the Patriots? Go figure.

[Who?]

With the improved line I don't think that's going to happen this year, I hope at least.

[Spain]

Who I remember feeling the same way! For 14 years!

[Who?]

Haha yeah, you better hope this year is your lucky year!

[Stripes]

Haha yeah, you better hope this year is your lucky year!

Lucky Shmucky.

If our Bengals have any success this season, with all of Bengaldom heralding the end of The Drought, it won't be luck. It will be talent and coaching.

Or maybe it will be luck.

[HairOnFire]

My best Braylon Edwards guess - 55 receptions, 770 yards, 6 TD's

good articule

Is that the same Vilma we had a chance to draft?

[LABengalsFan09]

[The_Next_Big_Thing]

Is that the same Vilma we had a chance to draft?

Nope, that Vilma went in the first round 14 slots before we drafted Chris Perry

Look out, the most likely response to come from the nutjob who said it was the same Vilma we had a chance to draft is "But we could have pulled a Ditka and traded our entire draft to get him!"

[DesperateDerelict]

Hey, we could have pulled a Ditka and traded our entire draft to get him!

I'd hate to disappoint you, Big Thing - - we don't really need Perry or Madieu or Ratliff or Langdon or Caleb or ......

You are right. Anyone that says Thomas Davis wasn't incredible does not know what he is talking about.

Pollack is great, but Davis was actually probably the better player.
