globetrotter Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 [quote name='oldschooler' post='736835' date='Dec 31 2008, 03:34 PM']Testing. Testing. Is this thing on? I am pretty sure Rivers played WLB at USC. But, when he was drafted, it was stated that he could play all 3 positions. Brooks and Jeanty were slated as the Middle and Strong starters. After going through the OTAs and some of Camp, the Bengals put Rivers at WLB, moved Brooks outside to SLB and put Dhani at MLB. Brooks had never played any postion other than inside, and Dhani had barely played a anything but outside. Dhani had started 8 games at WLB and 1 at SLB in 2007. So like I said, I really can`t see them moving Rivers now.[/quote] I think Jones was put in the middle more so because they wanted a veteran they could count on in that spot. I think, but dont know, that Rivers and Curry can play all three spots. Someone mentioned Rivers leadership. Is he the fiery leader this team needs in the middle? Or does he lead like Brian Simmons?

He is better suited for a 3-4 scheme and his complete lack of discipline on the field is very Ahmad Brooks like. He offers nothing as far as coverage goes and his attitude off the field is not good. He will also be nowhere near the best player available at 6. Dhani Jones isn't a superstar, but he is exactly what Marvin covets. He is a leader on the field and in the locker room. He does his job and does it well, and will not be replaced anytime soon. I believe that when his contract expires Rivers will be his replacement.[/quote] I think you overstate his weaknesses because you are so fond of Curry, however I agree that he lacks discipline (more comparable to Odell than Ahmad) and that his off the field attitude is not 100% great. For those interested here is a bio for them both [url="http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/ilb/Rey-Maualuga.php"]http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingrepo...ey-Maualuga.php[/url] [url="http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/olb/Aaron-Curry.php"]http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingrepo...Aaron-Curry.php[/url] AkiliMVP has persuaded me to like Curry over Mualaga, but I still think Mualaga is very good.

Jason Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 My understanding is that FitzGerald really likes how Jeanty has progressed at SAM. I'd love to see Curry our MIKE for the next 10 years with Rivers at WILL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
