Bengals1181 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 [quote name='Le Tigre' timestamp='1346121826' post='1151812'] Here's the thing: don't change two positions to fill one. Bring Faine in to fill the hole. Leave Boling where he is. Leave Roland and Trevor where they are. [/quote] if you're talking about in the middle of a game, I'd agree. But its still preseason. Move Boling. Robinson looks REALLY bad at center. Besides, prior to the Wharton injury Boling was Cook's backup, so its not like Boling would be freshly moved to center. Boling already knows the position. Plus, its much more important to be strong at center than strong at guard. And you'll have better luck finding a good guard on waivers or in a trade than a good center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticx682000 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't know much about Jeff but one thing i do rember, is most brown fans couldn't wait to cut bait with him. I hope he may have improved since then,if we are going to look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-GoBengals- Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 really REALLY nice guy, I spoke with Kyle when he hurt himself against the jets, he was concerned it was career ending at that point, i hope this doesnt clinch it, and I like the idea of Faine, get he has a VERY short time to get settled...

coup000 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Anyone have any idea what his actual injury is? Interestingly, Faine is part of a group that owns a bunch of bars and clubs in Orlando so he is here quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Anybody know of a team that had 2 C's battling each other out? Maybe 1 won the job and the other is trade bait? Teams that drafted a C high that already had a C on the roster? Where did Konz go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be a limited amount of quality out there, which is why you should take your best in-house center (Boling) and put him in place and then work on filling the hole at left guard which will be easier to fill.

But its still preseason. Move Boling. Robinson looks REALLY bad at center. Besides, prior to the Wharton injury Boling was Cook's backup, so its not like Boling would be freshly moved to center. Boling already knows the position. Plus, its much more important to be strong at center than strong at guard. And you'll have better luck finding a good guard on waivers or in a trade than a good center. [/quote] This could work...but Boling has a lot more reps at guard than center (has he even played there this preseason?). Faine was only moved out of Tampa because they wanted to go young with Zuttah, and had just signed Nicks. Dude has done nothing but start at center for them and NO after leaving Cleveland. Just my preference...but I would rather they went this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
