schweinhart Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 If Levi can't play or they think there's a good chance he might miss part of the season, then LT makes sense. Steinbach is the backup LT but do they really want to shift him from guard? Larry Moore also got time at LT in pre-season as did Pete Lougheed who is now on the practice squad.The most qualified LT out there is Derrick Deese, who started at LT for the Bucs last year. He's 35 yrs old and was apparently released after hurting his foot, which looks like will be the subject of a grievance.Gotta figure DT may be the more likelier way the Bengals go since they jumped in the Corey Simon sweepstakes and had visits from Cletidus Hunt and Leo Carson. The DT market may have just gotten bumped up, though, w/ the season-ending injury to Panther Kris Jenkins yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 or even better chris henry gets to suite up, but we can;t just have 2 rb's...so i assume we search the wire or sign quincy. It sounds like Marvin may be leaning towards going with 3 backs, Rudi, Chris, and Jeremi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 If its a third down back the question has to be what candidate has the best hands and can block effectively... We know that backs like Griffin and Cloud have experience and that Wilson seems to have some ability running.. Which back can actually block well.. I dont know....A left takle is a possibility.. I dont like Steinbach at LT.. It disrupts TWO positions when they move him... Can Andrews shift over there.. They've worked him at both tackle spots... why cant Anderson shift to LT if he's best tackle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Heard the the team will bring up Wilson.. now the question may be do they activate him for the game or possibly activate Henry this week.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevelandbengal Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/scor...mors.nfl/1.htmlI just read this on cnnsi about the Bengals signing John Ritchie. I thought Jeremi JOhnson did a great job on SUnday. I wonder if he will take Kenny's roster spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I just read this on cnnsi about the Bengals signing John Ritchie. I thought Jeremi JOhnson did a great job on SUnday. I wonder what is upI'd hope it's just meant to create some competition at the full back position, because Jeremi Johnson is way too good to just be replaced. Marvin himself has spoken well of Jeremi through the offseason, and I doubt this is anything of concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshfan Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I would be totally flabbergasted if they sign Jon Ritchie.. he's strictly a blocker.He's gained ONE yard rushing in the past five years!!! Only reason I could think of is they arent satisfied with Wilson as a blocker and they would use Jerimi Johnson as the third back in some instances with Ritchie blocking.. I dont like that idea though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalbob Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 How about short yardage situations with Ritchie blocking for Jeremi! Sounds good to me. I think the main reason for bringing Ritchie in is for special teams. Marvin's comments on Monday made it clear that Watson will be missed there most.

kingwilly Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Maybe Ritchie can line up next to Levi and help block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin's comments on Monday made it clear that Watson will be missed there most. yes. special teams. it's a part of the team too. an important part. ML said that was where Watson will be missed, if his replacement can help with that, then that will be what will attract the Bengals to him.J. Johnson ain't going nowhere, and his playing time is not going to be threatened by Jon Ritchie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
