Cincy Jungle @CincyJungle He really wasn't meshing with our scheme.. I think he would do better going back to a cover 2 like he played in Houston.

Randle P McMurphy Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Manning wasn't going to supplant either Nelson or Iloka for sure. Thought he MIGHT have a shot at Crocker's old job though S/CB backup. Guess we can chalk him up as DeDe Dorsey V2. Awesome 4th preseason game only to come up short.

Inigo Montoya Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I thought Manning would make the 53 man roster, but wasn't surprised when he didn't. There had been a few rumblings that he wasn't safe recently and I think the team thought Sean Porter was more valuable to keep. That seems to be the tradeoff that was made in keeping 7 linebackers and only 9 defensive backs. I believed it would be 6 and 10, respectively. I am glad Taylor Mays was not cut and if it was a choice between Mays or Manning, I would gladly cut the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|kennethmw| Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Shawn Williams will have Iloka's spot next year probably. I doubt it. I think the Bengals really like the S that Iloka is becoming. Shawn is a solid third, and probably Nelson's replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unleashed Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I doubt it. I think the Bengals really like the S that Iloka is becoming. Shawn is a solid third, and probably Nelson's replacement. I agree. Iloka has made a couple plays this preseason and I've heard from reporters and coaches that they think he's gonna make a leap into being more of a playmaker this year rather than playing not to screw up. He was solid last year and was rarely out of position. Williams seems like a liability in coverage at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He messes up his coverage more than anything. He's a superb run support safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a superb run support safety. weakest point?? Iloka had the 9th lowest QB passer rating against him in 2013 (out of all safeties in the NFL, strong or free) Iloka was 1 of only 4 safeties (strong or free) in the NFL in 2013 to not allow a TD pass to a man he was covering Iloka played more snaps on defense than any other player on the team (including Burfict) Iloka played the whole 2013 season with a broken hand Marvin Lewis on Iloka....“He didn’t come up with many interceptions, if he had one at all. But maybe there’s more opportunity there. The thing is, the ball gets closed down the middle of the field, and that’s good. If we’re in the half or whatever coverage we’re on, he executed the coverage and did a nice job. He played all year with a broken hand, and I think this coming year he’s healthy now and should really make a big difference in everything he’s doing.” Idk but he looks & sounds like a good coverage safety to me. His weakest point is creating turnovers. I think with the year experience under his belt & the healed broken hand he improves this season in that area. And the knock on Williams coming out of college was his ability to cover at the pro level. Even Zimmer called him out on it as something he needed to work on. Williams taking Iloka's job by next season ain't happening. Iloka is primed for a breakout year if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
