Will the Bengals pull the trigger? (1 Viewer)

[kneeunthaface]

This offense struggled bad today. C. Perry didn't help his case that he can be the man. I know it's week 1 but this offense has too many weapons to perform the way they did today. Will they bring in Alexander to be that reliable back that they seem to be lacking?

Is Alexander really considered reliable?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Hell, Tatum Bell is more reliable than Perry and Watson.

The problem isn't Perry. He actually looked pretty good to me today. Its tough to run (or do anything for that matter) when the D's front 7 is spending most of the day on your side of the ball. The Cincy line played worse than awful today. While I don't expect it to look quite this bad every week (you have to give the Raven front 7 their due), that O'line looks to be pretty bad. I highly doubt Alexander, or anyone else for that matter, would have faired much better with that pathetic effort this afternoon.

Jim Brown couldn't run behind that line the way they looked today.

 

[Andy Herron]

I don't know how reliable he'll be, but yes, I expect the Bengals to sign Alexander tomorrow.

They're desperate.

 

[Rushmore]

I could see them signing him now. They seemed to go to Watson more late in the game, and you wonder if they are questioning the running game at this point. Without the line blocking, i don't see anyone doing anything, but I could cetainly see Alexander in Cincy soon.

 

[FavreCo]

Are the bengals that stupid? He is washed up.

 

[Avery]

Do they seriously think that the problem is the RB in Cinci that an old, slow guy who made a career out of following his blockers can fix?

If so, they have problems bigger then the football players on that team.

 

[massraider]

Yeah, that's what a team with no heart needs: Shaun Alexander. Nice.

Let's have him pick up Todd Pinkston on his way to Ohio.

Why? The OL is in shambles, how would Alexander help the OL?

 

[kneeunthaface]

So, they shouldn't even bother is what you're saying. O-line is a bit shaky, so might as well call it a season after week one?

I'm saying RB is not the problem and signing Alexander does not solve anything.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I'm hoping Alexander has hit the weight room (or at least a few dozen boxes of Twinkies) so he could bulk up and play center.

They tried playing power football today with Chris Perry so you tell me.
