[/quote] he made some paper's all free agent team but he could be past his prime. he's 30. i read where he's the only TE to rush for a touchdown and catch one and return a kickoff and make a tackle in the same season. hey he's versatile! lol. could be a hard sign tho cuz i think drew rosenhaus is his agent. http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/07/25/1759326/the-stars-all-free-agent-team.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigris Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I like Scaife. Wouldn't be a bad pick up. Isn't going to scare anyone down field but that's why we have Gresham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaltonGreen Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Seeing the Bengals have someone in for a visit seems so minescule after what happened to Whitner. Now i need physical proof that the guy is in cincinnati and literally in strips....BUT WAIT...even then he could retire :/ ..oh the irony lol WHO DEY!

texbengal Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ol' Bo - I think he and Vince Young have a baby together. Vince always looked for him on the field, whether at UT or as a Titan. He's pretty good as a backup... can catch, and will block although he's not that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Saw a report where Coffman was bigger and catching the vall really well - looking very good in camp. while Cochart (the UDFA from SD St) has looked good both catching and blocking (especially blocking). Haven't heard anything about Mills. I wouldn't mind bringing Sciafe in for depyh competition, but would rather add a stronger blocker. Have they finally cut the cord with Reggie?

Inigo Montoya Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 In other Tight End news, the Bengals claimed John Nalbone off waivers from the Eagles.

BENGALS666 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, Scaife would make a nice addition to the Bengals TE rotation. He WAS the entire Titans recieving corps all by himself for several years here in Nashville. They put the Franchise Tag on him two or three years back. Decent blocker as well and has shown a nose for the end zone. I actually knew his GF for a minute. Not sure if she is still with him. I recall she said they were friends with Dhani -as if that mattered at all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it hasn't happened for him yet. Just by his measurables,skill set, and small college background, he seems a LOT like Colin Cochart. If nothing else, the bengals need more TE bodies to get through camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eva4ben-gal Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Scaife would be a smart signing. He has been productive for the Titans for a while and would be a great addition for depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Position groups I feel good about WR, TE, DT (though its not as if we couldnt do better but not with whats out there), with Andre in dropping the weight OT, CB (but Clements still isnt as good as Jo Jo), K, P, RB (though this has a minus on it till I see Ced's pass catching get better) Position groups that I'm indifferent to (meaning one good player one "'eh" player) DE, S (if this was a grade it would have a minus on it), C Position groups that concern me OG, QB, FB, LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrlnutz Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Nice, a well-rounded TE. I think its pretty obvious with the amount of TEs we're bringing into camp that we will see a lot of two TE sets. Gresh and Scaife, Gresh and Coffman, Scaife and Coffman...i feel good about any combo of those guys. Good signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaife, a seven-year veteran, will serve as the backup to 2010 first-round pick Jermaine Gresham. Scaife had a productive career for the Tennessee Titans. From 2005-2010, he averaged 41.9 receptions per season. Scaife caught 36 passes for 318 yards last year.
