fredtoast Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 [quote name='Bengals1181' date='01 September 2009 - 11:18 PM' timestamp='1251857897' post='797158'] PFT seem to remember him being a decent blocker coming out. [/quote] Actually he was a teammate of Quinn Sypniewski at Colorado. Klopfenstein was the "receiver" TE and he went in the 2nd round. Sypniewski was a gigantin (6'6", 270) blocking TE that the Ravens took in the 5th or 6th round. Klopfenstein ended up being a bust, and Sypniewski missed all of the '08 season with an injury he never recovered from. The Ravens released him this summer.

Bengals1181 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Tackle depth? [quote]Chiefs chop eight, including McIntosh Posted by Mike Florio on September 4, 2009 4:33 PM ET The Kansas City Chiefs have announced the release of eight players, as they attempt to work toward 53 players by 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Gone are fullback Jed Collins, cornerback Travis Daniels, cornerback Londen Fryar, center Eric Ghiaciuc, [b]tackle Damion McIntosh[/b], linebacker Corey Smith, tackle Herb Taylor, and guard Tavares Washington. [b]The biggest surprise is McIntosh, an eight-year starter who was due to make $2.2 million this year. He started 16 games last year at right tackle for the Chiefs, and he has been a regular starter at left and right tackle since 2001 for the Chargers and Dolphins, too. In all, McIntosh has starter 111 career games. Because he's a vested veteran, he instantly becomes a free agent, and he likely won't be out of work for long.

Bengals1181 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I know some of you wanted to draft TE Leonard Pope a few years ago. Also cut was UC guard Trevor Canfield. [quote]Cards cut down to 53 Posted by Mike Florio on September 4, 2009 5:46 PM ET The Arizona Cardinals have determined the 53 men with whom they'll start the season. Unless and until, that is, the Cardinals pick up some of the players who'll be cut by other teams in the next 24 hours. The team has announced that the following players have been released: linebacker Chase Bullock, g[b]uard Trevor Canfield[/b], fullback Tim Castille, cornerback Jameel Dowling, defensive tackle Keilen Dykes, defensive end Alex Field, cornerback Wilfrey Fontenot, center Melvin Fowler, safety Aaron Francisco, receiver Ed Gant, linebacker Victor Hobson, linebacker David Holoway, receiver Onrea Jones, defensive tackle Rodney Leisle, fullback Regan Maui'a, guard Carlton Medder, quarterback Tyler Palko, [b]tight end Leonard Pope[/b], tackle Oliver Ross, receiver Steve Sanders, and running back Chris Vincent. Any of them with less than four years of service will be subjected to waivers. Any of them with four or more years of service will become unrestricted free agents.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 by the way, Rod Hood is back on the street, cut 5 days after signing with the Bears.

-GoBengals- Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 [quote name='CougarQuest' date='01 September 2009 - 06:29 PM' timestamp='1251844196' post='797072'] Not to sound like Mike Brown, but....... When Marvin made the statement yesterday that the TE and FB positions are pretty interchangeable in their scheme, it made me wonder if Chris Pressley has received some looks at TE. He has a great reputation for blocking. He's already on the team. They aren't going to carry 3 FB's. And Johnson and Fui are ahead of him there. I know it's not as drastic as converting a DE to TE. Or even for that matter, converting a DT to an OG. Yeah....probably not drastic enough to float. [/quote] i dont think pressley makes the team and id say his value at TE is almost zero.. ..i dont think theyll start any "new projects" at this point...

ThurmanMunster Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 wow. i would love to sign trevor canfield if we have the ability to make him our last guard. he has a ton of potential but will take a couple of years to be a good starting guard. would be the perfect groomed replacement behind bobbie williams.

scharm Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I think Rod Hood just got released by the Bears, so the wheels maybe coming off on him. I heard AQ Shipley got cut by Pitt, I don't know why but he just screams Rich Brahm at me, could be a nice project player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globetrotter Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Leonard Pope is a guy who I would find really intriguing. However he has been knocked for consistency issues, something we would be looking for in any veteran we add. He has a high upside, but if we are looking for a Reggie Kelly reliable type I am not sure it is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB and OL are my only real concerns.. Coates is a "good" blocker.. and coffman is a good receiver.. coates hands are ok, about the same as reggie, and coates can be dropped back into the backfield to block and audible too.. i doubt a shitty TE comes in and does anything but supply depth behind the two we have now.. and frankly, someone that crappy will still be jobless if ever needed anyway...

Bengals1181 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 [quote]Steelers cut ties with Madison, Davises Posted by Tom Curran on September 5, 2009 2:10 PM ET Mike Tomlin's already made his cuts in Pittsburgh but they haven't been revealed. Still, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette was able to ferret out some of the names hitting the open market later today. Among them, veteran corner Anthony Madison, 2008 third-round defensive end Bruce Davis and running back Carey Davis. Madison had been with the Steelers three years and was a nickel and dime package corner. [b]Bruce Davis was a third-round selection out of UCLA in 2008.[/b] Carey Davis, who was waived/injured had 11 starts in his three seasons in Pittsburgh. The Steelers also cut rookie running back Isaac Redman who led the team with 145 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the preseason. There's a likelihood the Steelers will try to sign him to their practice squad. [/quote] Wouldn't mind putting Bruce Davis on the practice squad if he's eligible. He was a nice defensive end at UCLA.

Adam Schefter at ESPN tweeted those moves. That means New England now has Benjamin Watson and Chris Baker at the position along with Matthews, a tight end who's more proficient as a blocker than receiver. In the spring, the Patriots sent Tampa Bay a fifth-round pick in next spring's draft for Smith, a third-rounder back in 2005. Thomas, meanwhile, was a third-round pick out of Texas in the 2006 draft. He's an excellent receiver but not much of a blocker. Given the pressure Tom Brady is sure to see from opposing pass rushes this season, the Pats may be looking to shore up the tight end area with bodyguards.
