ChicagoBengal Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Absolutely not. He hasn't been "the freak" in years and was relegated to bench duty in Philly last year. I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|kennethmw| Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I see that ALL of you guys are against it, but I think he could be an asset for the right price. He was coming off a serious knee injury last year, and most players are better the second year back. Plus, he did have almost double the sacks of our franchise player last year in a limited role. I think if we could get a heavily incentive laden contract, it would not be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 [quote]In June 2007, Kearse appeared to weigh around 230 lbs, almost 30 pounds lighter than his normal playing weight. Kearse attributes the weight loss from extensive cardio-vascular exercise as part of his rehab. This brought concern from defensive coordinator Jim Johnson and according to sports reporter Gary Cobb, teammates have claimed that Kearse is "partying like a rock star" in Florida and "is living like he's not playing football anymoreâ€. By the time the season started, however, Kearse was said to have bulked up back to his normal playing weight (which is still considered quite light by NFL standards). However, Kearse did not appear to have regained his burst on the line and, in light of substandard production, he lost his starting job to longtime teammate Juqua Thomas in Week 11 of the 2007 NFL season. Due to this lack of production, along with the expensive contract Kearse carries, many predict that he will be cut by the start of the 2008 season.[3] He was released by the team on February 28, 2008.[/quote] wouldn't hurt to bring him in for a tryout. Honestly, if healthy, I'd rather take a chance on him than take a chance on Derrick Harvey being a first round bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LudwigVan Kubrick Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 If I am the Bengals, I bring Kearse in to tryout maybe.... 3 years from now seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ineptitude at Center was a big reason our running game and Carson struggled. If he is our starting center next season, expect more of the same problems on offense.

Although I would submit that if someone else called out the assignments, even Kearse would probably be more effective at center than "Guy-Check."
