Yes sir, I am.Thanks Hope you're enjoy the Denver game so far as much as I am -QGCongrats on a great comeback season guys, hell everything Mike Brown touched for you guys turned to gold this year!Hopefully we're right behind ya.
Maybe you're right. I have no idea what to think with him anymore. All I know is we cannot have another year of horrendous MLB in this division. I guess I can trust the coaches to decide if Rey is capable of that or not. He is a hard worker and I would rather not see him cast away, but he obviously didnt pan out in the middle this year. Maybe move him back outside.'cvnpoka said:seems too early to give up maualuga
They seldom, if ever trade up (the philosophy is to let the draft come to them). Given that the higher picks are now more valuable (since the contracts are reasonable) it's that much less likely IMO that they would move up to get Richardson. In fact I'd be shocked.I'm 100% that they'll lose both Gruden and Zimmer. Has anyone's coaching stock risen faster than Gruden's btw? Lots of people were sketchy on his hire when it happened (I thought it was a good hire).-QGi just hope they don't do something stupid like trading up to get Richardson. this team is far from complete and can use all the high round picks they can get.i'd like to see them take a Safety, OG, or CB unless someone really talented at another position drops.i think in the 2nd they can get a good RB.a bigger issue could be the possibilility of losing Gruden AND Zimmer.
I think it's pretty clear now that he's not suited to man the middle, and perhaps not starter quality at any LB position on this defense.'cvnpoka said:seems too early to give up maualuga
Good link I like the mentions of Sims and Collins. I've always liked these two guys and felt they were underappreciated. Sims going down seemed to really soften up the defensive line and hurt that rotation that was so effective ealry in the season. And lets hope we never have to see Livings in a Bengals uni ever again. Just seeing his name in type makes me want to punch something.Good breakdown of our impending free agents (the important ones anyway) heading into the off-season by the folks at cincyjungle:
Linky
Fairly long list - heck we might need to draft a guard with the first two picks
-QG
We sure about this? Has Jerry Jones ever tested this one? -QGHold on to Zimmer. Let Marvin coach another season, move him to GM where he will never again have the ability to throw a challenge flag. Move Zimmer to HC, Gruden Assistant Head/ OC, Profit.
Hrm, source?Anyway, since Fisher is going to take the St. Louis job there's a strong chance we're gonna lose Zim to the Dolphins if not the Bucs.-QGPacman won't be back after he had a dispute with Zimmer on the plane ride home (allegedly)
We couldn't help but laugh when the press release rolled in.
The Bengals announced the hiring of Hue Jackson on Friday as a defensive backs and special teams assistant, bringing the ex-Raiders coach home to the team he spent three seasons with from 2004 to 2006.
It is also the team he heaped precious gems upon this season when he pulled the trigger on a deal to bring disgruntled Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer to Oakland. In return, Cincy scored a first-round pick in this year's draft and a second-round selection in 2013, which could bump up to a first if the Raiders make the AFC title game next season.
Thanks, Hue, and welcome to the easiest job interview on earth.
Bengals: "So, Hue -- and thank you for the picks, by the way -- what can you do for the Cincinnati Bengals?"
Hue (in his best Stanley from "The Office" voice): "I've already done it."
Bengals: "Fair point. Can you hang around to sign some paperwork?"
Boom.
If this team possesses even a shred of poetic timing, Jackson's first public appearance comes on April 26, and not a minute sooner, as he strolls up to the podium to announce Cincy's No. 17 pick -- from Oakland, with love.
You're 100% correct, Sir. Except for the 'a bit' partLosing Fanene and Rucker both has got to hurt a bit, no?
You all do know that there is no salary floor being enforced this year, right? MB obviously does...And we are officially drafting a guard in round 1.Frostee going is - that was too big a contract for him and he made me hungry for a shake every time I heard his name so I'm okay with it.Fanene hurts more as I don't think the contract was that unreasonable for what he provided. We'll see how it shakes out but I'm not terribly excited about them spending this $30m in a great fashion.-QGPS - yeah I know they have $50m in cap room technically, but we all know the Mikey cap probably makes it more like $30m
I hope they don't sign Bush. Just draft a RB. Plenty in the draft. No reason to sign a 28 yo RB.Sign me up for Bush:Back-to-back: Raiders free-agent RB Michael Bush and Pats RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis visiting the Bengals.@AdamSchefter
If they sign Kenall Langford, we won't miss Fanene.And we are officially drafting a guard in round 1.Frostee going is - that was too big a contract for him and he made me hungry for a shake every time I heard his name so I'm okay with it.Fanene hurts more as I don't think the contract was that unreasonable for what he provided.

Of course we know that! Believe me when it comes to reading fine print Mikey Boy is a first ballot hall of Famer.I'm expecting the WhoDeyRevolution guys to start passing out signs saying "We are the 89%" outside PBS after that floor (which I'm sure Mikey will strictly adhere to) comes to pass.-QGYou all do know that there is no salary floor being enforced this year, right?

Too low on the CB. CB has got to be one of the top two spots on the list IMONeeds, in no particular order:OGOGRBMLBOLBCBSSLots of holes to fill.
