whodey365 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 LB Flowers traded to New England for 7th round pick. Kind if odd with Vontaze being suspended a third of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_B Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 'meh never really made an impact here anyway and i doubt was gonna make the team, so getting a 7th is a win but really 7th rounders rarely make an impact so again 'meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredtoast Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is Flowers 4th season. He was not going to make any huge improvement at this stage. Maybe a change of scheme will help him out. Jon Fanene and T. J. Houshmandzadeh were 7th round picks, and we may have a 7th rounder starting for us opening day (Fejedelem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've never really paid particular attention to him, but this past Sunday, he came from the other side of the field to run down the ball carrier (running back?). Looked faster than Hell...quite impressive. His closing speed really jumped out at you. Anyone else remember this play? Perhaps the Bengals haven't been using him right??? At this point in time, I have more confidence in the Cheatriots coaching staff than our own (but, then again, who doesn't?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I would have rather they kept Flowers and traded Marvin but I guess Marvin wasn't worth a 7th round pick. Best of luck, Marquis. When you get your Super Bowl ring after the season, send Marv a big bouquet of flowers with an unsigned card and see if he get's it. Probably not but all the funnier.

Le Tigre Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 See where he is shooting his mouth off about "noticing a big difference" in Pats practices and here. Can't copy paste links, but it is the usual "practice harder/more accountability/SB Champions schlock we have all grown to know and love from our former players when they go some where else after failing here.

Sounds like he's assinjured because Marvin yelled at him. We've made the postseason almost as often as they have lately & don't have the luxury of playing in a cupcake division. Granted they are well prepared when they get there & Brady is a first-ballot HoF QB. Just saying, they've had a little help getting there in more ways than one. That being said, the "more accountability" line is hard to deny, as are their rings. Credit where it's due, "tuck rule" or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like JJ said when he went to Houston and has lost 10 games more than the Bengals since then? Every player that changes teams praises his new team.

He's always been a physical freak, but he lacks instincts and was injury prone earlier in his career. The Bengals drafted a younger, healthier, more instinctive version of him this year (Jordan Evans) which is why he is now expendable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
