I had posted in the Geathers thread but.....

So with Geathers and Landon playing LB, who fills out the 3rd spot this week?

Dhani Jones and his bowtie?

Anyone?

I think it's likely to continue as Johnson/Schlegel/Geathers in the base defense, with Geathers moving to end and Jones or Chinedum Ndekwe playing for Schelgel on nickel downs.

Thanks Jene

Do you consider Schlegel a stop-gap or do you think he's earning the job for next year?

To be blunt, he's not good.

He is terrible.

What about Jeanty? Any potential for him in this LBing mess?

Always tough speculating on what will happen with the Bengals, but my guess would be that Jeanty would return as the SLB on rushing downs again when healthy, with Geathers moving back to his LDE spot every down.

With the Bengals' LB troubles, what does it say about Earl Everett that they let him go from the practice squad? Was he really too safety-ish (as he looked in pre-season) to fill a role there? or was he just too far away from contributing for them to consider him? He joined Atlanta's practice squad recently, I'd take that to indicate that someone still sees something in him.
