Bengals1181 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'd like to see us take Auston English in the 3rd and move him from DE to SLB: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol_Bengal Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 As long as we take a C either in the 2nd or 3rd round (by the looks of it there should be a good one there) I'll be happy... because what we've currently got isn't cutting it, without a whole lot of "potential" sitting on the bench. At least you've got Collins to see yet at tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 6-2 255 and has great hands and quickness off the edge. He had 8 sacks going into this week and I'm not sure if he got any against Cal on a swampy field but what I did see of him he was hitting the QB often. He is a finalist for the Lott trophy which is for high performance and "selfless character". I could see him as a poor man's Pollack but since he's a little smaller he may be able to make the transition to OLB better. He's definitely a tweener so I could see him going in late 3rd to 5th rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredtoast Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 [quote name='akiliMVP' post='716634' date='Oct 22 2008, 09:07 AM']Hardy hurt his foot in the offseason and had to have surgery. He missed the first 3 games of the season but returned with a vengence. He's only played fully in 2 games, the other 2 he was limited as punishment for giving the coaches attitude. Stats so far: 7 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 1 hurry. Keep in mind he's still not 100%. Last seasons stats: 64 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, 3 passes defended, 3 forced fumbles, 4 hurries, 2 receptions, 19 yards, 2 touchdowns.[/quote] Hardy looks dominating when he is on the field, but he must have a really shitty attitude. He is healthy now but has been demoted to 2nd string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he is one of the most impressive athletes in college football. Ed Orgeron used to line him up at wide out and he had 3 td receptions his freshman and sophomore year. He also played on the Ole Miss basketball team. He is a Jevon Kearse type athlete, but I still wouldn't want to add him to this team if he has problems with his work ethic.

Yeah he is definitely immature and a dumbass. I read he didn't try against South Carolina because he was pissed off at the coaches for some reason. When he's not acting like a dumbass his motor is one of his strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalFanInGA v2.0 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I watched most of the Ole Miss vs. Alabama game and the Ole Miss vs. LSU game. I knew he was still recovering against AL, but LSU, too? I was barely on the field during the AL game which I understand if he is still hurt. During the LSU game it seemed he was mostly used as a situational pass rusher. I barely got to watch him to see what he could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claptonrocks Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 I really do like Brian Cushing of USC....what round is he expected to go in??\ Right now Id lean towards Andre Smith or Oher in round one with Mack in round two. If Cushing is available at the top of round three Id take him. Im still big on Herman Johnson and Duke Robinson in round two if possible but realize that center is a priority.
