globetrotter Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Why not let Whitworth have a try out there. He can't be much worse. Let them shift spots for the rest of the year. Maybe Andrews will be better inside and then we can resign him and have him play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theman Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Dude don't you dare question the personnel moves of Mike Brown. Andrews was a perfect player to use the franchise tag on. And he is 1000 times than Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalsOwn Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Remember when everyone was in support of franchising Andrews? :rofl: That was comedy gold at the time. Now, it is comedy all time classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshua Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 And he won't even stick around if we wanted him to. Another fucking wasted tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutforlife591 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 They're guaranteed. You can check the CBA if you like. I wouldn't mind seeing the line reshuffled. Would only happen with a new line coach though. Something like, a new LT, maybe with our exceptionally high pick in the draft, then put Levi at LG, and Whit at RT. Id on't know, but something's got to change. They're pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlantNGo Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 We franchised him because several teams were willing to give him ridiculous offers. The Jets were the one that I remember. Willie hasn't been doing great for the Ravens either, so we probably figured that we might as well go with a guy with some upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal.BengalFan Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 How do we know what other teams were planning? Do you really think Andrews was gonna get paid a lot of money. He has never done jack shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 things should be shaken up whether andrews is the problem or not. I said this a few days ago, might as well give it a try: LT - Levi LG - Bluto C - Bobbie RG - Andrews RT - Whit Really can't hurt at this point.

VonBlade Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 So you want to move the guy who gets blown up every play next to the human turnstyle? I'm not too sure of the logic. We better get a left-handed QB so at least he can see the hits coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd also be able to get into his stance quicker since he's not snapping the ball. What's the worst the can happen at trying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levi not the same since getting hurt in 06 and no moves made to sure up the position. Willie declining since06. No depth at any position. Giving Andrews the franchise tag ----- not because he desired it, but because Mike choose this was the best option to replace Willie since he had made no other moves. My guess is he will get a $10 mill francise tag next year for the same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoutforlife591 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 The problem is that we have a lot of incomplete players. Andrews won't sign. Levi isn't a premium LT right now. Ghiaciuc is getting owned by the division tackles. I gotta figure Collins factors in here somewhere. I'm guessing they let Andrews walk, replace him with Collins, give Levi the LT job again. Then find a FA center and draft behind him, a swingman that mans the guard and center spots. And pick up another tackle later in the draft.
