|Lucid| Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 [quote name='AZBengal' timestamp='1313266411' post='1015233'] Dude, you're seriously concerned with what numbers they give out to guys during training camp? [/quote] Yeah... I don't think he has seen enough to get the fact that all kinds of numbers are given' out in the preseason and it doesn't mean shit. Soon he will realize that a lot of these rookies won't be wearing these numbers even if they make the team. I can't count how many times people have rushed to buy a new rookies jersey as soon as a number was assigned only to watch it change when the season actually started.

scharm Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Not really. It's preseason and 85 shouldn't be retired anyway. I've seen 78 issued during preseason before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccartman2 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 They gave it to a guy that won't make the team, so big deal. Better then him wearing 15. 15 has a lot of sad memories still. And I don't think he should have got 82, as Kelly is still unsigned, and if they decided to bring him back for whatever reason, it should be available. Giving out 14 to an unproven QB was far worse imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 [b]FROM OCHO TO OFFICIALS:[/b] [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/john-standeford/253c7932-f3ea-40f0-a22a-0d69c5aaff8b/"][color=#F04E23]John Standeford[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url] hadn't been in a football uniform since last November until Friday night's crazy-quilted debut with the Bengals. With the Bengals decimated at receivers, offensive coordinator Jay Gruden reached into his UFL depth chart and pulled out the 29-year-old Standeford, the Big Ten's all-time leading receiver at Purdue that caught 16 balls for the 2008-2009 Lions and played for him last year in Florida. It's a good thing he was close, about two hours away from Cincinnati, in his hometown of Monrovia, Ind. Standeford was able to jump in the car, sign the deal in Cincinnati, drive to Georgetown to get on the team bus after the walkthrough, and fly to Detroit. "I say I'm from Indianapolis because (Monrovia) is a pretty small town," he said. The Bengals wanted to know if he was in shape and since he had planned to play in the UFL again, Standeford told them he was ready. He wasn't as ready to wear No. 85, but the unassuming education major from a town of 1,000 people who has been working at a friend's company didn't mind wearing the number of the most famous Bengal in history. "I don't really talk about other players," said Standeford, who brushed elbows with Pro Bowl receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne in some Colts camps. "He performed on the field. At least he got his job done." While the 6-4, 205-pound Standeford worked out, he helped out his friends' sports officiating business. He characterized it as "We communicate, organize and grow officiating. It's kind of a LinkedIn for officials." But he couldn't draw an interference penalty on his first play, a post from Dalton that was knocked down at the goal line by Lions cornerback Brandon McDonald late in the first half. Naturally, Standeford wasn't supposed to be out there but rookie receiver [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/aj-green/d1e7b054-2722-4a10-9dad-687267489bd5/"][color=#F04E23]A.J. Green[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url] lost his shoe and was catching his breath and suddenly No. 85 was in the huddle. It was the first time Standeford had been in the huddle and he couldn't remember if he had even caught a ball from Dalton during warmups. Of course, in the second half Standeford caught what would be the Bengals' longest play of the night, an 18-yarder from Gradkowski. But then he also fell victim to the WR injury hex. "I don't know if I had the wrong type of shoes or what," he said. "But both my (big) toes were bleeding and both my big toenails are going to fall off. Fight through it." It didn't stop Standeford from lining up Monday morning and joining him were three receivers that didn't play Friday in [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/andre-caldwell/60736524-1999-49db-b9d2-bb925291219b/"][color=#F04E23]Andre Caldwell[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url], [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/quan-cosby/dda6ada9-e879-4e25-b45b-38085f6b3080/"][color=#F04E23]Quan Cosby[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url] and [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/jamere-holland/01fcac0b-7a7c-4f9b-9e34-c30dde5909ee/"][color=#F04E23]Jamere Holland[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url]. Still out with what are believed to be muscle pulls were [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/ryan-whalen/e84aa0ea-6783-4841-a7a0-9394d3be48cc/"][color=#F04E23]Ryan Whalen[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url], [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/andrew-hawkins/e347e2a3-3711-437e-84f8-51d98e454b54/"][color=#F04E23]Andrew Hawkins[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url] and [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/landon-cox/862fe5e7-cd74-4c1a-9418-1691672954d0/"][color=#F04E23]Landon Cox[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/color][/url]. Gruden's playbook has pretty much the same verbiage Standeford had in Florida, so the transition hasn't been all painful. "It's pretty much the same; a couple of things are different," Standeford said. "It's just knocking the rust off a little bit."

New Jersey Bengal Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 [b]I believe Chad is the biggest reason that Carson wanted out. I remember David Pollack saying that Chad drove Carson nuts on every play if he was not the beneficiary of the ball. I liken it to Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey when they were with the Ginats..They both drove Eli nuts and when they left the Giants won the Super Bowl. We should have gotten rid of Chad years ago. I still regret the bengals not trading him to the Redskins for 2 # 1 picks..What a mistake that was ![/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
