Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Official Cincinnati Bengals Thread, FOUR IN A ROW!!!

[Gottabe]

Plus it doesn't hurt that Hue and Brown go way back. 
Quite a few are enamored with getting a shot at Trent Richardson - who by many was thought to be better than Mark Ingram.

I agree.
With the rookie cost already known for future picks, I think the trading of draft picks becomes huge, since all the rookies are now affordable..lol
Now it all about positioning yourself to get the guy you want, and just like the Colts may do in picking Luck. Better to have leverage than anything.

And it's a WIN/WIN for Cincinnati. If they meet Oakland in the playoffs, one of two scenarios will happen:

1. The Bengals win and they advance and still get an earlier 1st rounder in 2012

2. The Bengals lose and they get Raiders' 1st rounder in 2012 AND 2013

  Maybe having over 100 of his 2003 Auto's may pay off 

I can definitely see them going on the block.

I like the move, always thought M. Brown was a business guy first.

Young line up, a good record right now, future early round picks.  This could be something...

I will say that this probably means the end of Ced Benson, as the Bengals can now afford to get the number 1 RB next year.

I am just hoping the SPx 246/250 BGS 9 resurfaces now....

Never too early for a Christmas Wish list
Dear

Now that Mr. Brown has more picks, can you spinkle some dust or something to convince him to hire a GM that know's FB talent, so they do not go to waste.

A suggestion, Two promotions..
Marvin Lewis to GM
Zimmer to Head Coach

it's a stretch I know, almost as big as getting the RB from Alabama but hey it's just a wish list. After all Mr. Brown was wishing for that trade and he got what he really wanted...lol

I'm crossing my fingers for a true left tackle. Trade our pic, Raiders for a starting LT, vet or rookie??? Use the other picks for an rb, maybe a giant nose tackle. After that, a lb or secondary help.

[Gottabe]

I get the "Whit isn't a true LT" but isn't it cheaper to get a starting guard?
With Whit at LT, that position doesn't need fixing, IMO. Bobby Williams isn't getting any younger, I think we need guards for the future and if I was thier QB I'd feel better sticking with Whit out at tackle then a new piece.
RB, yup we need an upgrade "Bell Cow" new guards can fix that as well. Hell any kind of a consistent line would. If Benson remains out of trouble, he's still getting older,and still looking for that big deal he wound up blowing.
I personally think he's gone.
The secondary is going to need a long term fix, if we make it through this year holding our breathe.
Linebackers? We need a consistent reliable threat. We aren't quite were they need to be and just an ankle or hamstring away from the kimshee..lol

Recievers anyone?
Simpson may not be as mature as thought
Caldwell, we've all cringed watching his drops, he does do well when he is on.
He is a little better at the slot than WR.
Green- Good there.
Shipley will be back, next year, just not a WR threat (Slot Guy)
Most of the receptions, over half are to Non-WR positions and the WR position has only yielded 5 TD's 4 to Green and the other to Caldwell who may have been lined up in the slot that drive.
A little help to keep Green healthy form the other side of the field would be nice. A diversion for the other corner's.
I like Gresham, but the LB and safety usually pick him up.

My little Monday Morning sale's pitch What you got?

My little Monday Morning sale's pitch   What you got?

Nothing lol. That pretty much covers it.

[Gottabe]

So now that everyone says the Titans weren't anyone, if we beat the Steeler's next week, do the Steeler's become "Old" again?
Bengals haven't played anyone so far (Tired of hearing it)..
How many teams have to play Pitt and Balt at least twice a year?

I guess if Cincy has to play Balt and Pitt to prove anything, then I guess Green Bay hasn't proven anything either they haven't and won't play either in the regular season. Yeah, who has the harder schedule....

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Same ol' Bengals.....

[road_runner_1964]

Same ol' Bengals..... 

Naw....I was rather impressed. Young team, Dalton played pretty poised against a veteran defense.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Defense (secondary) played so soft. And that ghost holding call on 3rd-and-4 against Whitworth took the wind out of our momentum sails.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Four wins in a row, starting with the defending champs New York Giants! I thought it was a fluke game, but I was happy nonetheless because I was there. The Chiefs used to be tough at home, but I don't know what happened to them. The crowd was hyped up against the Raiders because of Carson Palmer. And a tough game against the Chargers where everything seemed to be going wrong for us except the defense. Yeah, the defense carried us all game long. But even in those scenarios a good team is supposed to win. I guess we are good. Or at least getting there. The defense is becoming the cornerstone of the team in which to depend on when all else is failing. Just have the offense get hot at the right time and we could have a major playoff contender here.....
