Bengals cut Doug Gabriel -- is Chatman next?

It all depends whether we get the 2006 version or the 2007. If it’s the former- and, with the fresh start and all, we hope it is- we’ve got us a poor man’s Calvin Johnson. Urrutia’s talent isn’t quite as freakish as Calvin’s but in ‘06 he was a man amongst boys in the Big East. The 2007 version, however, was what dropped him from probably round two to seven. A nagging turf toe injury- yeah, sounds ridiculous but, from personal experience, it’s really debilitating- which led to missed starts and playing time, frustration and loss of focus, a case of the butterfingers and a brief on field attitude problem(personal fouls). I think most of the problems go back directly to the turf toe and, assuming the toe is alright, there’s no reason to think he won’t come correct.

As for the others, 8, 9, and 10 have no shot- I really don’t believe in Purify- and I wouldn’t be adverse to cutting or moving Chatman. He’s been here too long with little to no contribution but, then, the same could be said for Chris Perry. I feel bad for Tab Perry.
