mongo Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yeah, saw that last night. Do we even know if Rivers is in town? I see Pacman at all of the games, supporting his teammates, and standing on the sideline. I don't know if Keith is there and I don't see him, or if he's sitting on a couch in California or something. It actually came up with a friend at the game on Sunday. He said we needed to dump all of the Mike Brown reclamation projects. I said in principle I agree the team should stop, but that I wanted to see how Pacman's whole thing played out. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the resisting arrest stuff, and he's been an awesome teammate on the sidelines of all of the games (not to mention how uber Bengal he was during the lockout workouts). Maybe I just have enough Mike Brown to want him to change, but I think he might actually be turning things around... Bugs me a bit the thug has been everything you could ask for in a PUP'd player, and Rivers is a ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 He's good against the run, can't cover for his life. He is a good guy to have for running downs. He's kind of in Geathers territory, except he never had one huge season. He wraps up and take the ball carrier down. I think he has been timid ever since Hines broke his jaw. We have had awful luck in the LB'r department. Once we get a playmaker there, this defense won't just be #1, it will be feared kind of like Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

BengalMike Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm as big of a Rivers fan as anybody but if he can't play strong side I don't see a place for him. Howard is ok vs the run but his speed and coverage skills are starters quality. Lawson is on a one year deal so if Rivers is ir'd I'd look for Howard, Rey and Rivers as our starters next season I'm just hoping he's able to make it back this year. Reedy also said Rivers is in town and practicing on the side field so I would assume he's also in town on gamedays. If he isn't he's a douche for not supporting his teammates.

[/quote] Such an ass with your sly comments. Who said anything about being a star? But if you think it's ok for your starting SS linebacker to be a non-factor, have at it. I much prefer to have someone else. What makes you think he's doing something right? Just because he's not being talked about doesn't mean he's doin his job. But you're the smart guy right.

Jamie_B Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm still waiting to see on Lawson. Reggie Nelson didnt look that great early last year either.

SoCal.BengalFan Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Lawson sucks! i watched the niners and broncos games he missed a few tackles that he should of easily made. He gets blown off the line pretty easy too. He only plays about 33percent of the snaps because the bengals like using nickel defense. I cant wait for Moch to see what hes made of. Howard is easily the Bengals best linebacker so far. Rivers is overrated I cant remember the last big play hes made. i least we got one quality free agent this year.
