walzav29 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 f. I don't mean to rain on Cincinnati's parade and I'm not going to call them the same old Bengals. But they looked like the same old Bengals to me. That defense needs a backbone. Marvin Lewis better draft a big, two-gapping defensive tackle next April, because he doesn't have a soul to stop the Steelers rush. And to win the AFC North, you'd better be able to do something about the Pittsburgh running game. I hate to say he's right. Wouldn't you think that Marvin knows what division he is in? He alway's says that they have the guys to do the job on D. I just don't see it. Let's enjoy our playoff run, and hope that by next year they'll get us the DT that they desperately need. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Ditto, a DT or two, and a true 4-3 DE would be a start. Another LB and a SS wouldn't hurt either.I also wouldn't mind seeing another placekicker if Graham is going to continue with his inconsistent kick-offs and missing anything over 45 yards every other try.Where that leaves the need for upgrades on the 0-line eludes me, can't address everything in one offseason, but the 0-line is not all that great as some seem to think.

Stripes Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 I also wouldn't mind seeing another placekicker if Graham is going to continue with his inconsistent kick-offs and missing anything over 45 yards every other try. Ouch. I know Graham has some struggles early on this year, but he holds the team record for field goal accuracy, and last year was 3/4 from 50 yards and longer. He'll be okay, give him a chance.

That's the first "Rackers" type shank I can remember from SG.Rackers type shanks are no longer made by Rackers. Plus, Rackers kicks the ball a mile. I don't care about the missed field goals, he makes enough for me. BUT his kickoffs are absolutlely terrible. The kid that kicked when i was in highschool kicked it within 5 yards of what Shayne does (I subtracted the yardage differences, so the math is correct). BTW, this kid was recruited to play D-1, so its not like he's terrible, but Shayne's kickoffs make me very angry. Quote
turningpoint Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Is this JT's last season with the team?I hope so.Askew hopefully get's his ass moving and we draft a massive 2 gap DT.Could rival the likes of stroud and henderson, that's huge hopes. Quote
DontPushMe Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Askew hopefully get's his ass moving and we draft a massive 2 gap DT.Yeah, i was just thinking today how useless he must be to not be able to even get active with these crappy ass players in front of him. Quote
