Bengals1181 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Sign him up! Perfect guy for the AFC North [quote]Confirmed: Seahawks to waive FB Owen Schmitt Posted by Danny O'Neil Fullback Owen Schmitt will be waived by Seattle Sunday, continuing the roster churn. The news was first reported by Brian McIntyre of Scout.com and Mac's Football Blog and subsequently confirmed. McIntyre reported Schmitt is being released to make room for Seattle to sign Michael Robinson. Robinson previously played for the San Francisco 49ers. He is 223 pounds, a versatile player who actually played quarterback in college at Penn State. • Michael Robinson NFL.com player profile Schmitt played two seasons in Seattle after being drafted in the fifth round from West Virginia. He was tough and strong, but never seized the starting fullback role playing behind Leonard Weaver in 2008 and Justin Griffith in 2009. With Seattle shifting to an offense that does not emphasize the fullback as much, instead opting for two tight ends, he was a potential roster casualty. Robinson is a big physical player and special-teams mainstay.[/quote] http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seahawksblog/2012820469_reportseahawkstocutfbowenschmittsignmichaelrobinson.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBurfict55 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Is this the guy the Bengals were looking at or was that person taking? I read somewhere they would find out today if they would get him or not and it was about a FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalsfan850 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 this guy would be a much better fit then vakapunia who has athletic ability but that wouldn't have been used much because of all the other weapons we have. and schmitt is a better blocker which about all a FB would really do for us and maybe touch the ball 10 times all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Alice Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Owen Schmitt ia a capable, willing blocker that would be PERFECT for this system. The guy is a gamer who doesn't strike me as ever being concerned about how often he gets to handle the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mu Shu Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Not to be a Debbie Downer, but if these guys were as great as people are making them out to be, they probably wouldn't have just been cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ had an 80 catch season last year and they cut him, which is pretty surprising in and of itself. I watched Schmitt play at WVU at times and the guy is a fucking load. I would LOVE him as a Bengal.

He's "The Drunken Runaway Samoan Trying To Fuck Underage Girls While Crashing A Pontiac Sunfire". Somehow, it doesn't have the same ring to it. Maybe we should just stick to calling him "Rey".
