Pulling for rookie TE


Recommended Posts

Hey All,
just wanted to let you know that I am really pulling for a rookie free agent TE Lyonel Anderson from Kansas. He is from up here in Rochester and my sister met him and said he was an extremely nice guy and said he has always dreamed of playing in the NFL and the Bengals have granted him that wish and he is grateful. It's guys like this, who want to be in the league more than anything in the world, that make the league so fun to watch. I wish him the best of luck, and I pray to god he makes it onto our boys in orange and black. I think it would be the coolest thing in the world, to have a guy from Rochester on the greatest team in the world! Good luck Lyonel, the entire town of Rochester is behind you!
:D

All he has to do is be able to CATCH AND BLOCK
and he should beat out 1 of our TE`s...



Lord (Marvin) knows that there isn`t any TE on the team
that is good at BOTH...

w/ as many weapons as we have (assuming perry and warrick will be healthy) we don't need a te that can catch... it sounds like this kid is a good guy, but we already have 3 experienced guys and a snapper that has the title of te... i don't see us keeping 4 or 5 (whichever way you want to look at brad st. louis)...

if you think about it, if our te's were making 60 catches a year (between the three of them), then it would probably piss off our wr's... they are already going to be struggling for the ball... it sounds like we could have FIVE FUCKING BADDASS WR'S (cj, tj, pdub, henry, kdub)... hell i bet chris perry plays some wideout this year, just to get him in there... and what about tab perry...

we don't need te's to catch w/ that crew :D

[quote name='wat' date='Jul 30 2005, 11:06 AM']I think Lyonel Anderson and Kori Dickerson are fighting for a spot on the practice squad.

I agree 100%

I think Anderson also has a good shot.

For some reason, every time I look at his name, I think of him as:
[b]Lyonel "L-Train" Anderson[/b].

I have no idea where I got that from... :blink:
