Jeb Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 By now, everyone has heard about Tank Johnson getting cut by the Bears. That has spurred a conversation throughout the league on who else needs to get cut. Pacman has all the attention now. Big Dog just weighed in with his "I admit I'm a Henry hater" speech and he must be next to go. Oh, and this is supposed to be for our (and the teams) own good. Yep, he really did admit he was a hater. So, does anyone else want to get rid of Henry? IMO, its us (the fans) that protect these players from media abuse. We need to act more like Pats and Cowboys fans and support our players from the media. T.O. has strong support. Moss has strong support. Henry deserves the same from us since he is living up to his probation and league restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 No. He has been behaving himself for several months now, there is no reason to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvilleBengal Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Henry has done a really good job of being anonymous, if you get my drift. I think for the time being, we should support him, but the second that he is accused of anything, no matter how shady the circumstances, he is going back under the bus.

After the positive drug test fiasco, I'm not sure you can follow that hard of a line. I agree Henry is on his last life here in Cincinnati (perhaps with the League), but it needs to be a little more than just an accusation. If he was to be cut, the right time to do it was several months ago. However, the team chose to give him the opportunity to change his life, and he seems to be doing that. You can't cut the guy for doing what he's supposed to be doing... Heaven help him if he actually screws up again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I wouldn't cut this guy until he is permantly banned from the NFL. He is a freak with the size/speed/hands combo he has and releasing him to go to another team would just be stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatcat Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 NO. I think JT said in best in hobnob's latest article. He's talking about Thurman, but the same applies to Henry, if not more than Thurman: "Yeah. I hope the Bengals give him another chance (if he’s reinstated next month.) As long as he’s clean. They deserve that. They’ve taken the heat for him. It wouldn’t be right if he makes it big somewhere else after these guys took all the heat for it. " After all the Bengals and Henry have been through why cut him now. It's simple, one more "actual" screwup and he is done anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penn St. Bengal Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Tim "Big Dog" Lewis is horrible. He may be the worst sports talk radio host that I have ever heard. I listened to him twice after Richard Skinner got canned and he was AWFUL!!! 1530Homer might as well put Martha Stewart on in the mornings.......no way I will listen to that tool again. He probably knows less about the Bengals and Reds than any sports media personality in Cincinnati. It is evident if you listen for half an hour.

Brew Crew Grrl Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 IMO, as long as he continues doing what Marvin Lewis, the law, and his teammates ask of him. I'm sure a few of us around here know someone who hit a rough patch in life and turned it around. Everyone deserves a second..... err third..... err, however many chances to prove they can be an upstanding citizen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Claptonrocks Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 No I dont want Chris Henry cut... Aside from a traffic ticket what has he done in the past year to merit being cut or having some asshole on the radio call him out for a ratings boost? ( Im assuming thier ratings will plunge even lower than with the angry guys in time ) Tim Lewis and Greg Doyle are the bottom of the barrel in terms of sports talk radio....One's a has been the other a never was....

bengalsfan850 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 if we cut him now he would end our season the way holmes did, because someone like the chargers or jaguars and be a stud for 8 games then blow by deltha in the postseason so my anwser is obvious NO!!!

Too many touchdowns yet to be caught for Chris to be cut.[/quote] Your poetic response rings true in this case. It is what it is. If Chris Henry maintains as he has so far, then he serves his suspension and comes back and that's it. And a healthy, reformed Chris Henry is going to translate into at least 6 more TD's in the second half of the year. Honestly, I actually hope that some other receiver steps up bigtime and threatens Henry's grasp on the #3 WR spot. Say a guy like Brazell stays healthy and shows up with his speed. Will anyone whether individually or as a position group REALLY replace Henry's TD production while he's suspended? Your thoughts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
