Geno Atkins


Recommended Posts

Thought this warranted its own thread..   What's going on with this guy?  I know he was hurt earlier this season, his daughter was born a few weeks early but that was over a month ago.. Apparently he's only been playing about 1/3rd of the snaps when he's been active.

 

I'm wondering if the team maybe didn't make a deal with him to limit his exposure to injury and trade him after the season in return for him toeing the line for now & not going the Dunlap route.  Is this a case of another guy being written off as washed up because he doesn't fit Anyrando's crayon-drawn "scheme"?

 

He essentially disappeared and I can't believe it's because he just sucks now.

If I remember correctly.  Had an injury and decided to play through instead of getting surgery.  Probably should have gotten surgery.  @GoBengals is that correct?

Yeah, I can't remember seeing anything official anywhere, but Ryan/GB has mentioned a couple times now that Geno is still injured and trying to play thru the season.

And the fact the coaches are letting him play thru on a 2 win team is just another indictment of this coaching staff.

Im thinking Geno has a good chance of making 0 tackes this year..

Hes just a body out there now..

Nothing more..

Good luck to him someplace else next year...

why would he do that?

He hasnt helped the team or himself by this bad decision..

Oh well ..hes allmost gone now..

 

Well, he was injured in preseason.

Came back, was unhappy about his reduced role. Started getting 10-14 snaps a game.

Missed a game for "personal reasons" that we were assured was not injury related. Still missing.

He's letting the shoulder heal with rest and looking forward to either playing for a new coach or team next year. If you think it's anything other.... Ok.

“Personal reasons” means his wife had their baby 5 weeks early.

I would like to see him retire with dignity as a Bengal after the season.

 

If you look at our IR and Covid year off players as well

as what we have now, that's going to be a nice pool to choose

from and start with going into next year.

 

Sewell + a high second and third round pick and

the above, a healthy Joe and things could look 

better quick.

The Bengals donated something like $12M to the Atkins family

 

WDYM "donated"?  He was arguably the best player at his position for years.  

 

So either he suddenly just sucks, or maybe our DC Anyrando is entirely fucking clueless & nobody really wants to play for this dogshit team.

from what i recall the injury gave him two options:

 

1. get surgery in offseason and be out for sure through several weeks of the season

2. let it heel and play in season while rebuilding the strength

 

he isnt at any further risk by playing. 

 

also as for production, like a qb without receivers, a rb without a line, a CB without a pass rush, a lone DT with virtually no talent around him isnt going to do much, especially at like 70-80% strength, you could be right, he may ahve lost a step and been hurt, but we wont know until next year i dont think. but if we arent going to have anyone around him next year either, he probably wont be too product either way.

 

and with a $5+mil cap hit to release him next year, id imagine he will be back to see if there is any tread on the tires after an offseason of full recovery.

 

he may be worth the cash as a veteran leader on defense if nothing else. you kind of need one at each level, bates and be that guy in the defensive backfield, then atkins on DL, need wilson to step up next year probably for that role with the linebackers.

 

i can appreciate that atkins is being an adult and a pro regardless of whats going on on the field or went down with dunlap.

dunlap and his piece of shit father can suck my asshole.

Lol....ok...a little misplaced hate. Show me on the doll where the bad man hurt you. Why are you upset with Dunlap and his dad, because they told the truth?

 

Blaming Dunlap for forcing his way out of this dumpster fire of a franchise is odd, to say the least. Do you have the same ire for the people who are responsible for state of the franchise, or just the franchise leader in sacks.

I don’t remember the same hate when Carson acted like a Professional.  If I recall, Palmer was given a pass because “hillbillies” threw trash on his yard and for dragging us out of the dark ages for a little while.   In fact, here are the exact quotes:

 

 

“also, pamer shouldnt be going anywhere...

having another QB murdered back there isnt going to fix anything..

but the stupid fucking white trash in cincinnati heckling his family and throwing shit on his lawn makes me wonder if he wants anything to do with that hellhole.

fucking hillbillies”

 

And:

If Carson leaves after this year I would thank him for helping take this team out of dungeon (for a while anyways) and giving us a few very fun seasons, wish him the best of luck, and move on.”

 

I would think Go would have more sympathy for a black man like Dunlap playing for a team surrounded by hillbillies.
