-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 The Poston's are hyping things up way more than they should, in order to make other teams think he would sign there and get some cash. I seriously doubt the Bengals come even close to signing Arrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I would move pollack to WLB where his transition will be quicker. I'm not sure if I have that right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bengal_Smoov Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I would love to see Arrington in stripes as he is a elite athlete, the type that God only makes a few of in every generation. He has insane combination of size, speed, and strength. I think this season humbled Arrington, a little bit, and he apprieciates a coach like Marvin more than he did when Marvin was his DC in D.C. Arrington would give us quality depth @ lb and another playmaker whom which opposing offenses must account for on every play. With Dexter Jackson already in the fold, adding Arrington would be final piece to the puzzle as he would bring the swagger that this defense sorely needs. We could use him in a 3-4 formation, with Odell and Simmons playing ILB, while Arrington and Pollack play OLB. I hope we seriously make a play for Arrington and he realizes that coming to Cincy would give him the best chance at getting a ring. Arrington already left NYC without signing so I doubt he will sign with the Giants and the Browns are a season or two away from being serious contenders. I could see him signing with the Eagles so he can play the Redskins every year and show up Synder and Co., which is something he said he wanted to do, but the Eagles don't like paying lb's big dollars. However they will pony up the cash for gifted players like Kearse, Westbrook, and T.O. They did just sign Darren Howard to a big money deal so they could be done handing out big pay days, or maybe not. It should be a fun week.

His word isn't actually golden but he's reporting what Bengals personnel is feeding him. Although we all thought Sapp was a done deal too and look what happened. I'm on the fence on whether or not I want LaVar. I always just say, If Marvin wants him on the team, then I do too. It certainly adds a big name to our defense, but does it raise our game? I'm all for improving the team but Marvin must be certain he can corral Arrington free lancing demeanor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 This has future Bengaldom dissapointment written all over it. I dont know how I would feel if the team signed Arrington. On paper obviously good, but he is a headache, I don't know how you would make it fit, and he would be costly, although the PR for the orginization would never be any higher. I mean I see what he can do. Obviously a phenomonal athlete. He can do almost anything on the field, if he chooses to. But that is exactly it, undiscplined, let me make the Sportscenter highlight before the team type player. But he is a game changer and those are few and far between, which could make him worth it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
