redsbengalsbucks Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 This kid looks good! I hope he continues to play this well all season. He can deliver knock out blows to opposing players. He is always around the ball.He has got to be defensive rookie of the year front runner as of this week. Quote
skyline Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 He has got to be defensive rookie of the year front runner as of this week. Don't count on it. Now, if we go 6-0, then maybe he'll start getting noticed, but until then, he still plays for the Bengals, which means he'll be overlooked. Quote
alleycat Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 It's hilarious. ESPN and NFL.com do their national voting for who will be the D Rookie of the year and he's not even listed (nor is the "someone else will emerge" choice they had for the offensive one last week). So who does everyone pick? Demarcus Ware of Dallas. His stats last week? 2 tackles.Odell tied for the lead on the team last week and had a pick. Two FF this week (man does he lay the wood). And this doesn't even account for the impact that his hits have on the game or the swagger that he brings to our D (I love watching him and Madieu celebrate together - those are the Marvin Made Moments that bring a tear to my eye).I have no doubt he would have led the team in tackles yesterday if the vikings didn't totally abandon the run because of their predicament. So they have to pass and Deltha leads in tackles and gets three picks (how bout his two beautiful passes defended, too?). But anyway, you're right. We basically have to go well into the playoffs with a eye-opening record for him to get noticed. Quote
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Didn't he get rookie of the week last week? That's decent love. Quote
alleycat Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Didn't he get rookie of the week last week? That's decent love. No. Cadillac got it. Probably will again this week, too. ODell finished second, so if you split it into O and D, I guess you're right. But I think a lot of Bengal homers were driving that poll, especially in the early going (I know I voted my allowable ten times). Quote
skyline Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Didn't he get rookie of the week last week? That's decent love. Yeah, he did on the nfl.com poll, right?But then I saw similar polls yesterday that didn't even list him. They just listed all of the big-name first round picks. Quote
alleycat Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Not according to the NF.com (look under rookies on the left side) site where I checked. Quote
