August 30, 200816 yr comment_693351 Fucking hell. Do we not care about third round picks or something? Ok Brooks didn't pan out and Rowe was terrible, but seriously 3rd round should still be a decent player. [quote]LB Angelo Craig[/quote] Cripes. I expected him to do well. Next year we'll just trade away our draft picks for a burger and fries. Might as well

August 30, 200816 yr comment_693358 Hmmm. My apologies then. It was such a shocking pick I obviously made it more shocking in my mind Still, we aren't exactly drafting for the future are we. Unless the future is training camp then we rock!
August 30, 200816 yr comment_693359 And people thought I was nuts for thinking Brooks was getting cut.

August 30, 200816 yr comment_693365 I am happy, I am looking at this in a positive way. As allen said, We just got younger and healthy and cheaper. We have $ to bring someone in or extend people. All in all I think they were good cuts
August 30, 200816 yr comment_693368 Man our secondary is young. I felt OK knowing that O'Neil could step in if someone got hurt. I didn't think Jones was super impressive but...oh well. Makes no difference though. If Odom and Geathers can't get to the QB, doesn't matter whose in the secondary, we're toast.

August 30, 200816 yr comment_693372 [quote name='VonBlade' post='693369' date='Aug 30 2008, 04:42 PM']Rudi, Willie and Deltha are eligible for PS? Huh [/quote] lol That's what I thought. That would be quite an all-star practice squad.
August 30, 200816 yr comment_693373 [quote name='doogles' post='693361' date='Aug 30 2008, 04:36 PM']Why O'Neal? -jd[/quote] Who's the #3 corner? Jones was burned all preseason.

August 30, 200816 yr comment_693376 David Jones over Deltha...what the...you've got to be kidding me $3 million is not too much for a RT that you know is going to be on the field as soon as a lineman gets injured and they shuffle Andrews to a different position I think my mind has officially given up on the fairy tale that the Bengals actually know what they're doing and have been victims of bad luck seemingly every year Freaking retarded Using their logic on these other cuts, the should've cut Carson and kept Fitz, Rowe and JPalmer, which would make every NFL team jealous. Carson looked nothing close to his A game at all during the preseason. Deltha did his job better than Carson did his. Marvin is sabotaging his job so he could get the heck out of there It's not even worth figuring out who is projected to be the #1 pick overall next April, because it really doesn't matter Did I say this is freaking retarded yet?
August 30, 200816 yr comment_693378 Here's the roster with the guys who made it (as of today) QB (3) Carson Fitzpatrick Jordan RB (3) Perry Watson Dorsey FB (1) Jeremi Johnson WR (6) Chad TJ Chatman Simpson Caldwell Holt Henry (exempt?) TE (3) Kelly Utecht Coats (also FB) OL (9) Ghiaciuc Bobbie Whitworth Levi Stacey Santucci Cook Kooistra Collins DL (9) Geathers Odom Thornton Peko Fanene Sims Myers Shirley Rucker LB (6) Rivers Dhani Jeanty Mays Blackstock Brandon Johnson DB (10) Hall Joseph White Jackson Ndukwe Castille Indiana Jones David Jones Hebert Lynch STs (3) Shayne St. Louis Larson Injured Reserve Kilmer Britt Marcus Maxwell Sherry International Practice Squad Bjork Practice Squad adds (my guess) Livings Henderson James Johnson Urrutia Craig Jim Maxwell Uperesa Lawrie

August 30, 200816 yr comment_693386 I like our team. Good moves all around. Jones will be pimpin, he's young, hungry, smart, cheap, and has the potential to be pretty good. We got some players on the Ps that they can pluck should an injury occur. Cut that fat baby. Bengals 24 Ravens 10
