I think Marvin may have known all along Shirley wasn't making this team but starting to convert him to a G may open up the chance for the practice squad. Both DDD and Leonard pretty much made it impossible to cut one of them. I'll admit to being more than a bit nervous with one fullback on the roster and that is the same guy who ate himself out of this league. Quan may be the biggest surprise for not being on this list. I feel bad for Chatman, he was never truly healthy as a Bengal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThurmanMunster Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 there is no reason to keep 2 FBs and JJ is one of the best FBs in the NFL. why do people question that?

The guy can't carry all that extra weight and play at a high level. I think going w/ 1 FB signals that JJ should be ready to handle the load. I sure hope so.

Bengals1181 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 would have kept white and shirley over Lynch/Hebert and Rucker, but other than that not too surprising.

[/quote] Your making my point for me. If NE doesnt want him anymore why would we pick up a "pass catching" TE to add to our already not so great group of blocking TE's. I dont think it makes any sense to go after him when we are trying to run the ball more and need a TE who is basically another tackle I hardly call Alex Smith who the Bucs cut and Dave Thomas with his 9 catches last year really good TE's. If they cut him its a money thing, not a talent thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wanted Tank Johnson. No one wanted Chris Crocker. No one wanted Roy Williams. No one wanted Cedric Benson. Many a player has been cut and then went on to have a good career for another team.

oldschooler Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 [b][size="5"]Bengals announce cuts[/size][/b] Posted 29 minutes ago Posted: 3 p.m. For veteran running backs Brian Leonard and DeDe Dorsey, yes. For free-agent rookies Tom Nelson and Quan Cosby, also yes as the Bengals cut a 22-player swath through their roster Saturday to get to the maximum 53 players. For veteran safeties Marvin White and Corey Lynch, no. And for rookie fullbacks Fui Vakapuna and Chris Pressley, also no. At least for now, the Bengals opted to with four running backs and just one fullback (Jeremi Johnson) while also going with 10 defensive backs in a field that counts Nelson as well as special teams ace Kyries Hebert at safety. Here are the 22 roster moves the Bengals made in in reaching the NFL limit of 53. Placed one player on the Reserve/Injured list: --WR Antonio Chatman (seventh-year player; ankle) Terminated the contracts of three veterans not subject to waivers, releasing them to free agency: --LB Darryl Blackstock --LB Jim Maxwell --DT Langston Moore Waived the following 18 players: --S Marvin White (third-year player; Texas Christian) --G Andrew Crummey (second-year player; Maryland), injury settlement --S Corey Lynch (second-year player; Appalachian State) --G Jason Shirley (second-year player; Fresno State) --DE Chris Harrington (first-year player; Texas A&M) --RB James Johnson (first-year player; Kansas State) --TE Kolomona Kapanui (first-year player; West Texas A&M) --WR Maurice Purify (first-year player; Nebraska) --WR Freddie Brown (rookie; Utah) --TE Darius Hill (rookie; Ball State) --DT Ventrell Jenkins (rookie; Kentucky) --DT Clinton McDonald (rookie; Memphis) --CB Rico Murray (rookie; Kent State) --T Augustus Parrish (rookie; Kent State) --FB Chris Pressley (rookie; Wisconsin) --LB Dan Skuta (rookie; Grand Valley State) --K Sam Swank (rookie; Wake Forest) --FB Fui Vakapuna (rookie; Brigham Young) Brown, McDonald and Vakapuna were seventh-round Bengals choices in the 2009 draft, and the other seven waived rookies entered the NFL this year as college free agents. PRACTICE SQUAD: With the exception of Marvin White, all of the players waived today are eligible to be signed to an NFL practice squad if they clear waivers tomorrow. The Bengals plan to announce tomorrow a practice squad of up to eight players. ADDITIONAL NOTES: --Rookie T Andre Smith of Alabama remains with the team on a roster exemption, not counting against the 53 limit. The exemption expires on Sept. 14. --TE Matt Sherry cleared waivers and reverted to the Reserve/Injured list on Tuesday.
