soundstreamer Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I really want Reggie to make the team because he just has so much ability its crazy. But I dont see him making the roster as a WR this year. This might be a rediculous idea but how about making him the #3 RB in place of either Watson or Wilson. He could line up in either the backfield as split backs or line up as a WR(ala Marshall Faulk). The big downfall to this is if Rudi would get hurt. If this would happen I think JJ could fill in and do an admirable job for a game. If the injury would be for an extended time they could try Wilson(since he is a similar runner) or possibly Perry could become what we drafted him for. This could lead the Bengals to keep Washington or Brazell on the roster. If my idea works out it could make Washington expendable and get a low round pick for him in a trade. Call me a Mcneal bandwagoner but after watching his youtube videos again its hard not to want somebody like that on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also heard Whitehead was pretty good. Reggie needs to be a factor on special teams in order to make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utts Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Actually I think he has to make it as a special teamer first and a WR second. Unless he makes the team as the #3 or better, I don't think Marvin will keep him around unless he's going to be full-time contributor on ST's.

Scoutforlife591 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 He should be able to return kicks. Maybe if he can steal punt return duties from Chatman. I guess Chatman is expendable. McNeal would seem to offer Chatmans quicks plus speed and size. He just lacks the experience. It's within his control to make this team, and there is a chance, but odds and history would tell us he's bound for the practice squad. We haven't even traded Washington yet. Until that happends he certainly isn't making the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BengalBacker Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 He might need a Henry suspension to make the team initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Joker Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I for one hope we keep this kid..he played in a tough division in college and showed some skills. I think his talent is, dare I say, Mike Vick type shit. I am not saying he is as good as Vick but DAMN the kid is quick and has a set of wheels...

But you don't have to actually have to put him in at running back to keep him in your scenario. The NFL only requires that you have 2 active RB's on a roster. You could sign McNeal as an extra receiver and still cut a RB to make room. And of course, a WR receiver can always line up at RB if you want him there. Although, since RB's are eligible receivers, I guess the only difference would be his #. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ochosucko Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Forget making Mcneal the third rb. I watched Doug Johnson play last night and he was terrible. Mcneal should be the third qb just like the stealers did with Randle El. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got so much freaking talent at WR, it's ridiculous. QBs should be Palmer, Wright, McNeal WRs should be Chad, T.J., Henry, Chatman, Perry, Brazell Trade Washington for basically any pick.

texas aggie Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 1. Reggie is not going to learn this WR position quickly enough to be any kind of factor this year, and Cincy is too deep there, but he has some potential there and needs work. 2. Cincy needs to find a good back-up QB, very critical given circumstances, so it is best that the top two QB challengers get all the work and all the looks, and Cincy not "waste" time with Reggie now. 3. Reggie has so much potential at QB, he should be slotted there automatically for the #3. with the loser of the #2 battle shipping out. 4. Now, the trick is to have RM learn the WR position, while still picking up the Bengals offense as QB. Take a year to determine if he can be come a top 3 or 4 WR. If not, decide if you want to invest the time to hone his considerable natural ability at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Claptonrocks Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was thinking that Johnson was a stopgap second string if Palmer couldnt go .. If Palmer is able to go then McNeal and Meyer fight it out for third team and Johnson hits the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OzBengal Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I see no reason why we can not just go with 2 TEs and 7 WRs. Who would you rather make the team, Ronnie Ghent or Reggie McNeal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNeal has a ton of potential as a returner and receiver, St Louis is a long snapper only, a very good long snapper. I don't know if there is anyone on the team we can count on as a long snapper if St Louis is dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Unless Wilkerson, Justin Smith, or someone else can long snap just as well as St Louis, he makes the team. It's not worth risking a special teams breakdown to carry a 7th receiver who probably won't even be active on gamedays. From the scrimmage video, it didn't look like the alternate long snappers were threatening St Louis' job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read about Ghiaciuc doing some long snapping for the team. If they made that a bit of a priority for him, we could free up that special teams spot for someone like McNeal or one of the odd man out linebackers.
