dex Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Not a single surprise on the very early 1st/2nd team depth chart...maybe for the first time in Bengals history. I like it. Surprises are what you find on the depth chart of bad teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 8 Author Report Share Posted August 8 agreed. that's easily the most logical depth chart we've seen this early in a long long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 The only surprise might be putting Bates on there when he isn't under contract at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 I read weeks ago that Evans will be the 3rd Down back and not Perine. Perine may get the nod should Mixon get hurt, but that Evans will be the 3rd Down back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 So, who is our 4th best Receiver among all players, RB's, TE's and WR's? Who would our 4th best WR be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Where is Spain? I thought he was going to be the starting LG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 So, we opted not to resign Spain, who is currently a Free Agent, as nobody has signed him, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Will Morgan continue to return Kicks? If so, he'll have limited reps at WR, even if one of the Top-3 miss a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 12 minutes ago, Kingspoint said: Where is Spain? I think they should bring him back. When you watch the highlights from last year, on most of Burrow's big TD passes the first guy to celebrate with him was usually Spain. Plus they worked out together at Black Sheep Performance in the offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Don't like that you have only one WR better than Mixon, who is not a good Receiver. Would like to see us trade for a WR, or pick up a better Veteran who is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingspoint Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 I can't see Carmen, no matter how much he improves this season, being anywhere near as good as Spain would be playing alongside this O-Line and another year under Pollack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 The Bengals have made it very clear that they do not want Spain back. The fact that no one else has signed Spain yet pretty much tells you how the rest of the league views Spain too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's better than Tupou) There is a possibility that Shelvin won't even make the 53 man roster. I don't think I've heard Shelvin's name mentioned even one time during this training camp. This is the deepest d-line the Bengals have ever had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to make more than 1 play per game I would think. As someone noted, his name has barely come up in the TC notes so not looking good at this point. I suppose he could go to the PS still unless someone pulled him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 9 Author Report Share Posted August 9 He made more than one play in that TN game, in fact. He was a key part of that gameplan. He has a role on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too I was just hoping he would overtake Tupou as Reader's backup so I'd feel better if Reader went down. Shelvin has the big body for it, and as mentioned at times has played well, I was just hoping he would do enough to make it less of a problem if Reader goes down.

membengal Posted August 9 Author Report Share Posted August 9 I mean, Reader at the level he plays really is borderline irreplaceable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 I think the one of the biggest roster battles is Huber and Christman. I think Christman may be better but Huber is going to be difficult to unseat plus he has the holder thing down pat and locked up. Which ever is cut will not be on the waiver wire for long.
