CP9Bengals Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Any chance we bring him in as a backup? I would guess he will want alot of money. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mu Shu Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 They also cut Travis LaBoy and cornerback Rod Hood. I would have more interest in them than Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigris Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 It's funny how every time a person that is cut (who has a big name), his name comes up into signing on to this team. Not complaining or anything, but it amuses me a little bit. I think about it too... but then I realize I'm just being unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 we are just fresh out of over the hill overpriced under performing running backs.. we've got a quota to fill in that category.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Awesome Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 The team must be really confident with Cedric Benson, despite what all the doubts that the so-called "professional" sports casters have about Benson and only signing Benson to 1 year deal. If the team decided to go with Benson over Shaun Alexander (and Alexander's local ties = jersey sales), I can't see them going with Edge now. Unless some other surprising cuts happen, I can't see the team going after any free agents, with the exception of a verteran center getting cut or maybe Roy Williams (Safety) because of his ties to Zimmer.

WhoDeyBabe Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Let's see...bring in Edge to be a backup whent he whole reason he is disgruntled is because he was relegated to a backup role? Ok. I wouldn't mind bringing in Hood for the 4th CB spot just because we don't know what Morgan Trent can do yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoutforlife591 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't know folks, if you can get him signed for a training camp competition, I think you bring him in. He has very good hands, and it's obvious he can still carry the load as a feature back. Those two and Scott would make a very good backfield. Two durable, versatile backs.

Scoutforlife591 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Those sir, are stats. If you look at him against last year's playoff defenses, he was pretty damn effective. Playoff rushing is hard fought. You can still put him in there for 25 carries, and if everybody else does their job, he's gonna pull about a hundred. Indy didn't send him a superbowl ring just to be cute. It's because he is/was a good rusher and receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes down to our OL as Benson will get yards if has room as he showed at the end of last year. Edge would only eat up a spot for a younger player like Johnson or Scott neither of whom would be wise to cut with Benson being on only a two year deal.

|Harley| Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 When it comes to RBs, I'll take a fresh horse out of college vs. an older vet. When the wheels start to fall off, it goes bad in a hurry. Pass on Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not every back can get his 100. Plus, this guy catches. He's experienced, he hasn't slowed, he's got hands, he's a winner, and he can carry the load. These aren't things you can say about DeDe or Johnson. The point is depth. Think playoffs. DeDe is going to be hurt by week 12 if we use him extensively. We need a guy who can handle the pressure in week 18 and give us some yardage while Palmer slices them up through the air. That is, if Benson isn't around. I'm thinking back about it, and I'm usually pretty solid on running backs. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
