|SF2| Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I simply do not want ANY LB who sucks at coverage. This is a passing league and become more so every year. If your coverage skills suck, GOOD O Coordinators will take advantage of it. Teams use play action on 3rd and short all the time which makes Rey's head spin around and spit out green vomit.

|SF2| Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 keep telling yourself that. They won't eat that money. Are we talking REAL money or Cap money only for this year? If its real money I agree. If its cap money I don't. We have $34 MILLION in cap space. Who the fuck are we going to sign to get to that number? Andre for 7.5 leaves $26.5. NO FUCKING WAY we get close to the cap this year. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I like re-signing him to play SAM. Hated the thought of seeing him line up at MIKE ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|kennethmw| Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 And if they don't? Everyone seemed pretty certain Rey was gone this year. Everybody but the guys that coach him. They kept telling us that he was someone they wanted to keep, but it was always "coaches speak" in some people's eyes. Even now, you have posters saying what a horrible player he is, and how great their personal evaluation view is of him. Laughable, is what it is.

Hate to break it to you, but for as average as Maualuga is in coverage, he was better than Burfict last year. The Bengals defense gave up 15 receiving touchdowns last year. I can think of at least 4 that were given up by Burfict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of at least 4 that were given up by Burfict. I will let you know in 3 years. Burfect was an undrafted raw FA LAST YEAR. I see tremendous upside with him, none with Rey. Also, Burfect was very similar to Odell his first season. Made some mistakes but made some great plays. Rey rarely makes great plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is so great kenneth then why was there very little interest in him. He is young yet not much interest. I understand the value of being able to step in burfect if an injury occurs but at best he is average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Bad decision to bring him back, godawful decision to pay him 6.5 mil. Bengals should have been looking to upgrade from Rey and Lawson. Bringing Howard back will give us an upgrade if he's healthy but we still need to use an early pick on a linebacker plus probably a mid round pick or sign another vet. Keeping Rey doesn't solve any problems for us, in fact it perpetuates one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Don't know if the numbers had been posted yet ... A source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Maualuga agreed to a two-year, $6.5 million deal. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9065958/2013-nfl-free-agency-rey-maualuga-re-signs-cincinnati-bengals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the value of being able to step in burfect if an injury occurs but at best he is average I never said he was "GREAT", that's just another perception on this board because I don't say he SUCKS every moment. He is a Decent Linebacker who appears to be better in a position where he can play and not have to think and play. I felt and still feel that some people on here only watch our games to find plays they can use to talk down our players. Our Coaches said they wanted him back, but that never mattered because some of you didn't. Once again, it's laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Pete Damilatis@PFF_Pete Rey Maualuga earned a -29.7 @PFF grade last season. That's the 2nd-worst we've ever given an inside linebacker. #Bengals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok against the run 2 years ago at SLB. Is a 30% player worth 6.5 over two years who HONESTLY is NOT a passable backup at MLB? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatcat Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I would never had guess re-signing Maualuga would have been so polarizing..... :ph34r: Love it, hate it. or if you are somewhere in between the Bengals had their plan. They were crystal clear on what that plan/1st priority was. Now they are executing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hard for me to believe they couldn't give that money to a better player. I don't see any reason to keep someone on a roster when they've proven themselves a liability. I don't expect every player to be HoF caliber but a starter should at least be average. Even a back-up should be versatile, dependable, or have untapped potential. Rey has that last one but at this point I'm not sure why they'd ever expect for him to reach it. That being said, maybe a good percentage of his contract is incentive-based, which would be better. I doubt that's all guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I don't mind this, I didn't like how Rey played, but maybe the contract was messing with his head. I don't think there was a lot there to mess with and that was the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
