Ochosucko Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I say start Shirley. I think you can bring John Thornton in on passing downs, but if it was up to me we don't need Thornton any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 [quote name='Ochosucko' post='692531' date='Aug 28 2008, 08:28 PM']So I just heard Eric Henderson was in the back field and now he rough the passer but man he is getting some pressure. Anyone think he makes the team? I do. Drop Thornton and role with Peko, Myers, Shirley, and Burton.[/quote] the roughing the passer was a little ticky tack. It's only been one game, but Henderson's doing as much as possible to make the team. He's even been playing well at DT (at only 255lbs). And I'll tell you what, Shirley is looking very good. I know its against backups, but he continues to improve every week and may have just landed a spot on the roster. He's got at least 5 tackles and 2 sacks.

If you haven't seen the flashes that Simpson has shown (the bengals drafted him knowing they'd have to develop those flashes into a consistent presence) then I can't help you. We have 2 pro bowl WR's on the team. We didn't draft a guy who would come in right away and catch 50 balls. We took the guy who has more athletic talent and a higher ceiling.

Jason Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I just can't imagine that after the injuries last year, and after having not played a snap in the preseason this year due to injury that Rudi would have any trade value at all. Certainly not enough to get us a WR that will be good enough to be 3rd on this roster. Unless he's 3rd because Chad and/or TJ can't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three were heavliy looked at by the Bengals. I definitely think they made the right choice. Simpson was definitely the more long-term development player. But he has a much higher upside.

[/quote] Please tell me you are joking..... Coming from a Skins fan, this wouldn't make any sense. The Skins have two RB's as it is, and Marcus Mason has a good chance of making the final 53 (he was on the practice squad last year and has done some damage this pre-season).

I know in the midst of all of the turbulence you dealt with this year you had mentioned moving back to the Cincinnati area. Just curious.[/quote] Yes, unfortunately, I am staying right here for awhile. Believe me, I am not happy about it. But we are moving into a house that has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

The Eagles had him play almost the entire 2nd (I think it was that one) preseason game, just to try and get him some work. They are hoping he can step up and be a #2 this year, where really we were just looking for a #3 tops. So we could afford to take a guy who may not be as ready now, but has a much higher ceiling.
