Bengals1181 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'd love to see this kid do well. Talk about drive, perseverance, and "I really want to be here". What a story this would be if he becomes this years version of Burfict. I'm pulling for him. I forget who it was as it was like 9 months ago, but I remember reading he would have graded out as a 4th rounder just based on his on the field play.

The PatternMaster Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just a few random thoughts on the subject... http://www.cincyjungle.com/2013/4/3/4178100/bengals-announce-uniform-numbers-for-five-players If nothing looked odd above, realize that the number 49 is outside the range "normally" assigned LBs. It is only assigned when ALL the 50s and 90s have been used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_number_(American_football) 50 Schaffer, J.K. LB 6-0 232 22 1 Cincinnati 51 Maybin, Aaron LB 6-4 240 25 5 Penn State 52 Moch, Dontay LB 6-2 255 24 2 Nevada 53 Howard, Thomas LB 6-3 245 29 8 Texas-El Paso 54 55 Burfict, Vontaze LB 6-1 245 22 2 Arizona State 56 57 Rey, Vincent LB 6-2 250 25 3 Duke 58 Maualuga, Rey LB 6-2 250 26 5 Southern California 59 Lamur, Emmanuel LB 6-4 232 23 2 Kansas State 90 91 Geathers, Robert DE 6-3 280 29 10 Georgia 92 Anderson, Jamaal DE 6-6 280 27 7 Arkansas 93 Johnson, Michael DE 6-7 270 26 5 Georgia Tech 94 Peko, Domata DT 6-3 322 28 8 Michigan State 95 Gilberry, Wallace DE 6-2 275 28 6 Alabama 96 Dunlap, Carlos DE 6-6 280 24 4 Florida 97 Atkins, Geno DT 6-1 300 25 4 Georgia 98 99 To me it looks like a 50s and 90s number is available. The last time and only time a Bengal Linebacker wore #49 was Guy Frazier. Frazier made the first hit of Super Bowl XVI on the opening kickoff causing a fumble that was recovered by teammate John Simmons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Frazier Others have worn the 49 but were not LBs. 23,49 Bean, Robert ...................... CB ’00-01 Mississippi State 49 Hill, Darius .......................... TE ’09 Ball State 49 Thomason, Jeff ................... TE ’92-93 Oregon 49 Wright, Dana .......................RB ’87 Findlay I know, I know, its just camp and the numbers change like roulette. I just want to be able to identify by numbers. Just sayin.

SlantNGo Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 They'll probably change his number once the regular season starts if he makes the cut. Odell started off as #45 before switching to #51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like a guy that would learn a lot and get a lot of inspiration from playing behind Harrison, who also had to earn his way onto the field.

Jason Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Does Harrison buy 92? I don't think he will have to. I don't see Anderson lasting too much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zins30 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Does Harrison buy 92? I think he'll just stare down Jamaal Anderson, forcing him to soil himself and give the #92 to Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thoughts on James Harrison and SLB: I think Harrison will be a bridge at the position. I see a 1 or 2 year deal that is incentive based. The question is who is he a bridge to? Maybin? Joiner? Moch? Is this Moch's last chance to stay on the team? I think so. Has Maybin done enough to justify keeping if we do sign Harrison? Is Joiner the future at the position? Do we draft someone like Chase Thomas in 4 to develop behind Harrison? I know some will say Moch will be a DE, but I don't know. I honestly have my doubts that he is on the opening day roster regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wouldn't be surprised to see Moch moved to DE full time. Joiner likely a PS guy in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The question is who is he a bridge to? Jamie Collins. Or Anthony Barr if we're very patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 This is what I can see happening: SLB: Harrison MLB Maualuga WLB: Burfict Backups: Lamur, Joiner, Howard, Rey. Bubble: Maybin, Moch They must see something in Joiner to keep him through is prison time. Is Harrison a bridge to getting Joiner ready? I think either Maybin or Moch will be gone by the time the season starts, and it will depend largely on Moch's migraine issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wouldn't shocked to see a draft pick instead of Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Joiner is an UDFA who played DE at Arkansas State. I wouldn't get too excited and pencil him in for a roster spot just yet. In fact, I'd add a draft pick (or two) into your equation, and make a good deal of room on your bubble: we kept 6 LB's last year and won't cary more than 7 this year. I hope we resign Howard in a big way. Somewhat related to that, my big question is whether we go for a guy who more a WLB or SLB. I've seen a few guys in this draft consistently painted as both - though those doing the painting often claim in the same breath that they wouldn't be suited for the other. Regardless, I think we take that guy in the 2b - 4th round range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's just a hunch on my part. I appreciate that. Nothing gets me more pumped than finding diamonds-in-the-rough. I guess it's why the draft is practically my favorite part of the season. Which, BTW, I just found out is happening NEXT week (I thought it was this Thursday), and so now I am bummed and can barely stand the wait.
