walzav29 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Offensive tackle Stacy Andrews also was spotted working out under the guidance of defensive line coach Jay Hayes and defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan.Andrews, a second-year player, is 6-feet-7, 350 pounds, and there is word the Bengals want to see what he could do as a defensive tackle.Does this mean he sucks as a tackle or he has potential as a run stuffer.

The_Next_Big_Thing Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 No, it doesn't mean either.Offensive Tackles are routinely workd out as defensive tackles just in case all the DTs go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC203 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 This has been talked about before, and I don't think this is routine. Andrews does not suck, he is very athletic and fast and will be Andersons replacement some day. He and Kooistra are the best backups in the conference, and both will be starters for us in the future. We all have said that they need to stop the run and I have said Andrews is that answer and this Sunday they might show it. It would be great to know that you have a person that is good enough on O and D to play both ways when needed. Look how New England did last year with putting a WR as a CB. We have to do something on D if this team wants to go to the playoffs. I think they did a upgrade with S. Smith and I would like to see them upgrade running Andrews on the D a few plays. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Andrews might be used on goal line situtations on defense since Brian Robinson has been ruled out for Sunday.Also I think Nate Webster will not be active Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt that Stacy has the size, strength and athleticism to play on the defensive line. Question is, does he have the Shaun Rogers-John Henderson-Pat Williams attitude and mindset to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedroza29 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 If we do this, I think it's a step in the right direction. It's sending a sign to the down linemen we have now that says "You guys suck!" No other way of putting it. Luckily, we have the best damn offense in the universe (I don't care about the Colts!) I get sick when I watch our D against a decent run team. Put the biggin out there I say!WHO-DEY!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
