turningpoint Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 [quote name='bengalsdave985' timestamp='1331737336' post='1105553'] Very intrigued by Langford, been reading on him and he sounds like a powerhouse DT in the 4-3, phins beat writer Omar Kelly has been glowing about him, he's ranked 34th on PFT free agent list and I think 65 on cbssports list. Seems like a similar player to Frostee who can play both spots, maybe better against the run than rucker but not as good as a rusher [/quote] I still have nightmares of Frostee letting Shonn Greene run right by him in that 2010 playoff game for a 42yd td. As much as I like the guy, I do enjoy the fact we're looking for an upgrade. I also would be surprised if frostee left, he has a lot of ties to this city. I believe he will be a majority owner of the Orange leaf opening up on the banks, maybe that is just chump change to him though if he can get a much bigger contract elsewhere.

oldschooler Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 [url="https://twitter.com/#!/joereedy"]joereedy[/url]Joe Reedy Per the folks at Pro Football Focus, Langford didn't grade well as a run stopper but grades well on pass.

snarkster Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 So far, Langford would appear to be the pick of the litter as far as the Bengals reported interests go. Wouldn't mind them signing Davis, but only if it is a fairly minor deal. Still want to see some smoke from Grubbs, Bush or Tolbert and a WR or two. I like Robinson and Manningham with Earl Bennett as a sleeper. If Anthony Collins doesn't return, Robert Schwartz would be nice. Again though, not for enormous bucks.

oldschooler Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Langford was ESPN's #19 top Free Agent. But they said he was a "true 3-4 End" and the Phins were switching to a 4-3, so he wasn't a good fit anymore ....[b]19.

Fanene and rucker would be better in 3-4's too IMO, but have found success here being versatile guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 watching highlights of BJGE now for the first time. more power than I thought. would still want another back in the draft, but they could do worse than BJGE. He's reliable, experienced, and you know he's been well-coached.[quote name='alleycat' timestamp='1331744117' post='1105632'] Wow. [/quote] good wow or bad wow?

texbengal Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Law firm has got a nose for the goal-line, too. And he doesn't fumble. Just not a pass catcher, or at least, he hasn't been yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsdave985 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Would rather have Michael Bush but everything points to back by committee so I dont have an issue if they sign Green-Ellis and draft a back which I think they do regardless of who they sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Law firm is so inconsistent he gives me a headache in fantasy but that also has to do with the teams use of him. It stinks of going to the backup plan before the original plan has been exhausted but as 1181 says we could do worse then a 27 year old back with out much treadwear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrlnutz Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like BJGE as a member of our RB committee, not as a workhorse guy. I'm also fairly certain he hasn't fumbled in the NFL which is most definitely a plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a 1000 yard 13 td season too. My guess is that he is similar to Benson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
