Bengals1181 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 agree for the most part. Leonard isn't elgible for the practice squad, and IMO he'll beat out Dorsey. Harrington isn't eligible either I think. And no way JP ever beats out O'sullivan. JT'O may not be great, but he's 10-fold better than little palmer.

Once Jordan's mind is right, he's a very similar player to Carson, same exact size, similar ability. He just needs more time in the system.

whodey1971 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 A slightly diifferent question... How many on final 53 are not currently on the roster? It would not surprise me if... - They pick up another CB (Joseph, Hall, Trent & when-healthy-Jones I think are obvious)...is Pope really a lock? Could Nelson be used in this space? Could they have their eyes on the waiver wire here? - OG - depth is not exactly our best friend...I can see a late waiver-wire addition here too - TE - not predicting this...merely saying if the "right" player became available, I would imagine they would jump at the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just moved him over there to have a warm body due to the injuries.[/quote] I think he may. He's been performing well and certainly has the potential, and they may try to stash him on the roster again. At guard, luckily they have some depth to play with. Once Andre gets in, Collins would be the first backup at and of the guard spots. Then Kooistra. So Shirley would be able to provide nice depth, but you don't have to worry about him being the "next man up" unless there is a rash of injuries.

It'll come down to Shirley and Mathis. Mathis has 6 more starts, but it'll take a lot for either to make it into a game. So they may take the one with more potential and can also backup DT.

I agree with the people who talked about a few spots needing to be added. OL depth, Nickel back and TE should all be positions we look at thoroughly in the cut down days. My PS Squad would be... Johnson 2009 Vakapuna 2012 Purify 2009 Kapanui 2009 Shirley 2011 Phillips UDFA Skula UDFA Lynch 2011 I have questions about whether or not Shirley or Lynch can be on the squad.

Oldcat Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I agree Jordan Palmer isn't ready for #2, but I liked what I saw last 2 games. Ha's improved a lot in running his squad, and did not get flustered on the 3. A 97 yard drive is pretty good. As a #3, your job is to not screw up, mostly. At this point, his done enough to hold the job. Next year, he should be pressing on JT, or its time for the team to think of grooming another.

We go with 4 running backs - DD gets cut - Johnson and Leonard stay We go with two TE for now - not three - ben is coming back - that's light but Leonard and Scott are recieving weapons that can be deployed.

MaineBengal Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 OK, I have a few tweaks to my original lineup. QB Carson Palmer, J.T. O'Sullivan, Jordan Palmer Jordan may overtake JT at some point. Not at the beginning of the season though. FB Jeremi Johnson, Brian Leonard Leonard will do double-duty at both FB and HB. Bengals will take their chances waiving both Fui and Chris Pressley, putting one or both on the practice squad if they aren't picked up. *NOTE: I think Leonard beat out Vakapuna. Pressley is close, but not quite there. RB Cedric Benson, Bernard Scott, DeDe Dorsey, Brian Leonard. James Johnson will be practice squadded if he clears waivers. WR Chad Ochocinco, Laveranues Coles, Andre Caldwell, Chris Henry, Maurice Purify, Jerome Simpson Rome will be inactive most games, unless someone gets injured. Purify makes the squad for his teams play. RT Anthony Collins, Andre Smith RG Bobbie Williams, Scott Kooistra C Kyle Cook, Jonathan Luigs LG Nate Livings, Jason Shirley LT Andrew Whitworth That's 9 o-lineman. If Whit goes down, Collins moves over and Andre goes at RT (assuming he's signed). TE Daniel Coats, Chase Coffman, JP Fochi We'll be light on Tight Ends. They might sign a FA and dump Fochi. That's 26 on offense. SS Roy Williams, Chinedum Ndukwe, Tom Nelson FS Chris Crocker, Kyries Hebert Nelson and Hebert make it for their teams play. LDE Robert Geathers, Frostee Rucker LDT Domata Peko, Jon Fanene RDT Tank Johnson, Pat Sims *NOTE: Fanene and Rucker both make it, and swing between DT and DE. RDE Antwan Odom, Michael Johnson OLB Rey Maualuga, Rashad Jeanty *NOTE: Blackstock doesn't make it. OLB2 Keith Rivers, Brandon Johnson MLB Dhani Jones, Abdul Hodge RCB Leon Hall, Geoffrey Pope, Morgan Trent LCB Johnathan Joseph, David Jones That's 25 on Defense. K Money Graham P Huber LS Brad St Louis So that's 53. Andre Caldwell returns kickoffs, Tom Nelson returns punts. Gunners are Kyries Hebert, DeDe Dorsey, and Maurice Purify.
