Memphis_Bengal Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm probably wrong but did anyone think that injury looked a little off? No way it was staged, right? You could clearly see his knee buckle when he planted. If that was staged it deserves an Academy Award! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 which means Orson Charles should be safe. Joe Reedy @joereedy23s I've heard John Conner has been released. #bengals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Geoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin1m Conner need not worry. Great guy, solid role player. He'll hook on. But he would have played about 10 snaps per game here. #Bengals Reedy 0-1 right off the bat In his 53 man predictions he's just throwing shit at the wall. He had Charles on the team yesterday over smith, and then reversed it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zins30 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Apparently JK Schaeffer gone for Vinnie Rey. Thought he'd make it with Lamur on IR... Kinda weird. Maybe they did make a trade and need the spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Not sure how "official" that is, it's coming from Jeff Ruby. But apparently Miles, Rey, and Peerman all made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thought he'd make it with Lamur on IR... Kinda weird. Maybe they did make a trade and need the spot? Not necessarily. They may bring him (or someone else) back after they place someone like Hawkins or Lamur on the IR recall list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ugh I hate not having a fullback on the team. Especially a good one like JC. I don't care if its 8 snaps a game. Those snaps can determine the outcome. I trust Marv though. Thought J K and Rey looked good so not tore up over that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Couple of things: 1. No way they cut Roland with Whitworth questionable & Smith already gimpy. If both are healthy maybe they risk AC being the only ready backup until they get Hawkinson and/or Fragel up to speed. 2. I don't care if its 8 snaps a game. Exactly. Those 8-10 snaps tend to be 3rd & shorts or goal-to-go situations. How many snaps does a PK play per game? That's not really the point - the point is that they have a specific skill set that's crucial for those 8-10 snaps. That being said, Charles seems to be starting to "get it" so hopefully we won't be second guessing this after watching our RB's get stuffed all year in big situations. Still not sure why they wouldn't just make him the 3rd TE considering Smith doesn't seem to have done shit for them, but what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydenM Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I wonder if this means Bruce Taylor makes the team as the 6th LB. We only have six LBs now, including Taylor. If you don't think he makes the team, then there are obviously other moves in the works, because no way we only carry five LBs. I still think Moch makes the team though. Said that months ago and I stick by it even though I may be a longshot ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict they will realize the need a really good lead blocker early in the year and will have to activate Pressley once he is healthy enough to play.

From everything I heard, Smith really impressed them all off-season. I know he had an injury that took him out of much of training camp, but chances are they had seen enough of him already to know he can help them. So I guess I disagree with your premise.

Rumble In the Jungle Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Cincinnati Bengals Cuts to 53: FB John Conner Cuts to 75: WR Jheranie Boyd, CB Terrence Brown, LB Jordan Campbell, G Otis Hudson, DT Vaughn Meatoga, TE Richard Quinn, K/P Quinn Sharp, OT Jason Weaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 It would seem the new scheme values the versatility Charles brings over the physicality of Conner. And/or the think Charles has improved enough as a blocker it's not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
