brian55662 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I wanted to get your thoughts on who makes the final roster on the Dline. I would like to see them keep 10 guys DE- Geathers, Smith, Robinson, Fanenee, Rucker DT- Thorton, Peko, Myers, Allen, and Toenia. We probably would dress 8-9 of them on Sundays but I think these guys give us a very solid rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I don't know if 10 defensive linemen make the team, especially with versatile guys like Robinson and Fanene who can play end or tackle. They might need the roster spots at other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 DE- Geathers, Smith, [color="#FF0000"][s]Robinson[/s] [/color], Fanenee, Rucker DT- Thorton, Peko, Myers, Allen, and Toenia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I always thought Xzavie Jackson was doing pretty well. Probably not well enough for a roster spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can play both positions and he being fresh with more bodies should play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, again, do you cut a better player right now to keep someone with "potential"? If Marvin and Chuck decide Big Toe is one of the best players, keep him on the roster. But, particularly at DT, which is not our best position, keep the best players you have. If that means you risk losing someone with potential by putting him on the PS, so be it. Especially after the years we spent waiting for Askew to blossom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this guy personifies intensity.. Now whether he has the actual skills to go with that I have no idea at this point... Id like to see more of Kendrick Allen.... I think its between Toe and Allen for that run stuffing tackle the team so desperately needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the off chance that Rucker and/or Fanene get hurt again, we can always re-sign Robinson. I don't think teams will be knocking down his door. Toeiana on the other hand may get snatched up quick. I just think its safe to cut Robinson consider Thornton and Toeiana can both play DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
