Big Alice Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Love it. I thought, at the end of the season, there was NO WAY we could get Collins back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrlnutz Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Collins Yay! Harvey eh. I wonder why he flamed out so bad in Jax? ML had a hard-on for him ever since the draft so I kinda figured he'd end up here once he was rumored for a visit. Hope we can get something out of him like we have with other cast-offs!

Jason Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Happy (and a little surprised) to get Collins back, but Harvey???? Would MUCH rather have had Jamaal. Now, get Sims and ManLaw done! Lee would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree B.A.B., have to like how we have rejuvenated careers in the past couple of years for players like Roy WIlliams, Reggie Nelson, and Ced Benson. I think it has to do with Marvin and Zimmer for the most part... and higher quality character players being around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snarkster Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'd love to see them end the day with Sims, Lee & Lawson. The Harvey signing is kinda meh. He will be in a rotation though, so maybe they see some strengths they can play to in certain situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Some of these guys get too much asked of them too early and they think their way out of what comes natural. With the depth we have at the position we might just be able to let Harvey pin his ears back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PatternMaster Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Glad that Collins reupped, I hope they can convince him to play LG, I think he could go to the Pro Bowl at that position. Not sure what to think about Harvey, coming out of college he was a beast but he did nothing at Jacksonville, kinda Nelson. I hope he can turn it around here, like Nelson did.

Colts defensive end Jamaal Anderson also visited last week.[/size][/color] [color=#393939][size=3]With the Bengals looking at ends, it's believed they were pursuing re-signing tackle [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/pat-sims/7394af12-2914-477a-af09-c0194967fd16/"]Pat Sims[/url].[/size][/color] [color=#393939][size=3]Harvey is working on his third team.

Harvey has been healthy for the most part and not done anything. I'll root for him and give him a shot, but I'm not holding my breath for anything more than a depth guy. And Rucker also had the size to move inside on passing downs. Harvey doesn't at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm guessing they are going to bulk Harvey up. 252lbs is low for a Bengals DE, and he put up an impressive 31 reps at the combine. I'm guessing they put weight on him and let him use a power/size combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
