SouthPaw Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Shawn Williams is a fucking animal. Wow. He is going to be a player. Can we all ateast agree on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 YesI want to keep Illoka and Nelson, but Williams will soften the blow if we cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dautcom08 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Agree, shameful he was penalized on his hit because it was a clean hard hit just seemed a penalty because it maybe sort of looked too hard.Be interesting to see how they approach Iloka's contract status.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigfox09 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I want to keep Iloka and Nelson. I also want to figure out how we get all three of them on the field together more often. I am very impressed with Williams, to the extent if we have to let Nelson of Iloka walk, I wont be too upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Jc naild the perfect scenario. Ilona long term. Nelson franchise. Williams nickel lb. after next year Nelson will be 34. Not a guy who gets a big contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scharm Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Nelson, my guess is probably gone. He'll get paid more being a pro bowler and Int leader this offseason by some other team with bigger up front money than the Bengals will be willing to give at this point with his age and the players on the roster.

scharm Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Transition/Franchise tag for Safety are both in the 7 to 8 mil range from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFinklestein Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 We finally have a great safety! I hope we do all we can to keep him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Shawn Williams is a fucking animal. Wow. He is going to be a player. Can we all ateast agree on that?Definitely. I'm not saying this to rag on the refs, but he got hosed on that beautiful play he got flagged on. Why can't those be reviewed like the targeting calls in college?

EnglishBengal Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Funny I was thinking the same thing during and after the game. When Nelson got injured, Williams filled in admirably. He plays physical, instinctively, and shows real authority. Despite this, I hope we keep Iloka coz we need that strength and depth to make our next SB run.

Why can't those be reviewed like the targeting calls in college?He got hosed to be sure. Damn shame too, straight up beautiful hit. Type of hit that could be used as a video demonstration, other than he didn't wrap and of course, it was tooooo hard.Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A.B. Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yeah. When I saw Reggie went down I wasn't worried for a second. He has proven himself this year I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very impressed with Williams, to the extent if we have to let Nelson of Iloka walk, I wont be too upset. Possibly Illoka plays some slot vs TE's, I do think we wont be bringing back Hall unless it's a vet minimum, he just looks like a half step slower then he has 3 years ago. 2009 Hall covers Brown on that 4th and 3.

|Lucid| Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Shawn Williams is a fucking animal. Wow. He is going to be a player. Can we all ateast agree on that?I was very excited abiut him when we drafted him and picked him as my "most excited about" player from that draft in a thread of a similar name. Granted I partly picked him because he was a dark horse, but I was and am still intrigued by his intangibles and great tackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCJT Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Even if Nelson's injury isn't that serious, I still think you let him go. If healthy, someone will pay him pretty good money - and we should get a comp pick out of it - 5th round at the worst, assuming we don't go out and get someone in FA with an even higher price tag. I think Williams and Smith can play, and we can draft another safety. We'll be young, but I think we'll be OK. We thought enough of Williams and Smith that we cut Shiloh Keo who is playing significantly for Denver - and there should be some folks out there. Maybe you see if Hall can become a pure safety (doubt it), but we should have some options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 A hell of a lot cleaner than Shazier's hit. Shazier made a nice play and was in perfect position until he decided to do what stealers do and be a prick and go high. He could've hit him at the waist and made a nice play, but he made a deliberate decision to try to take his head off. As far as I'm concerned, he went to Michigan.

scharm Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 He could have easily lit up Gio with a big hit that was clean. They guy drops his helmet and launches. Did he ever get a fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Lucid| Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah that's wrong. That's the exact type of hit you want to eliminate. I think you are giving the NFL too much credit. What they are mostly concerened about right now is the narrative of dirty bengals vs poor victim steelers. Any fines handed down to them at this point runs contrary to this. I have watched a good bit of media coverage about the upcoming Broncos game and the focus is entirely on "How can the league prevent the Broncos from retaliating for perceived dirty hits in last meeting".

(paraphrased of course)The ironic thing is that they are waiting for the broncos to reciprocate so they can start bashing them too. What about the fear that the stealers will continue their douchebaggery? Are they going to watch the stealers sideline for their coaches being dicks?
