Like it [/quote] I agree with everything except Benson fumbling. Outside of those 2 games last season, he had really good ball control. Makes me think that was a blip or something. One was against the Cardinals who had an opportunistic defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Neither has breakaway ability and I think both dont do much without a nice line. Very little make you miss. If there is a defender in the backfield they will find it. I may need to watch Ellis more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 [b] [size=6]Aaron Ross will visit Redskins, after Bengals[/size][/b] Posted by Mike Florio on March 14, 2012, 2:18 PM EDT Cornerback [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4210/aaron-ross"]Aaron Ross[/url], a first-round pick in 2007 with a pair of Super Bowl rings, could end up playing for the team that beat his old team a pair of times in 2011. Per a league source, cornerback Aaron Ross will visit the Redskins on Friday. Of course, to get to Washington on Friday, Ross first has to get out of Cincinnati on Thursday. That will be his first destination. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/14/aaron-ross-will-visit-redskins-after-bengals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 [b] [size=6][url="http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/43888/browns-set-to-release-guard-eric-steinbach"]Browns set to release guard Eric Steinbach[/url][/size][/b] March, 14, 2012 By Jamison Hensley The Browns are planning to release [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4491/eric-steinbach"]Eric Steinbach[/url] after the guard refused to take a pay cut, [url="http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Browns-set-to-release-Steinbach.html"]his agent Jack Bechta[/url] said in a statement. This is a tough move for the Browns because they could use Steinbach on an offensive line that already needs a new right tackle. But Cleveland couldn't keep Steinbach at his $6 million salary for 2012 considering his injury status. This was an unwanted but necessary decision. Steinbach, 31, was a four-year starter for the Browns but he missed all of last season after having a disk fragment removed from his spinal nerve in August. He is expected to be cleared to participate in football activities by April 15. While Steinbach has left open the possibility of returning, he said he will explore free agency. "It has been a good ride in Cleveland, and I hope it can continue," he said in a statement. "I'm proud to say that the offensive line has been a bright spot through the past few seasons. I will continue to work with the Browns through my agent in hopes of striking a deal that is practical and fair for both sides." Steinbach then channeled his inner "Anchorman" when he added, "If my time here comes to an end, I want the people of this great city to remember one thing: 'You stay classy Cleveland!'" The real issue is whether Steinbach will ever play like he did previously. Before the injury, he was one of the most durable linemen, missing three games in eight years. But a back injury can be tricky, especially for linemen. “These types of decisions are the difficult part of this job, especially when it involves a player such as Eric Steinbach,” Browns general manager Tom Heckert said a statement. “Eric exhibited tremendous leadership and passion for the game during his time here. We want to thank him for his contributions.” If Steinbach is healthy again, the Browns could certainly use him at left guard and move [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14111/jason-pinkston"]Jason Pinkston[/url], who played left guard last year as a rookie, to right guard. But you could also see Steinbach going back to Cincinnati, where he played from 2003 to 2006. Adding a guard is one of the Bengals' top free-agent priorities. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/43888/browns-set-to-release-guard-eric-steinbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a year or two away at least even with Fisher IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
