A lot of use are thinking Simpson is going to be a savoir, but I think we should be realistic about what he can contribute.
That being said, over the last few years, their have been players, e.g. Pat Sims last year, who coaching staff have been reluctant to play, citing inexperience, but when they come in, they play much better than the previous starter
Remember that there's no film on Simpson
So he could prove a problem early on for their secondary. Jammer and Cromartie will be busy with Ocho and Caldwell (starting today), so maybe he can make a few plays downfield.

Something else to think about
Less Jumbo/Big formations could mean that the Bengals game plan is to air it out more.

I hope not
SD has or of the worst running defenses in the league. We can’t get into an air-it-out battle with Rivers.
by whodeyla on Dec 20, 2009 2:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
We don’t really use Collins in the jumbo anymore, right?
I think sitting Roland would have been interesting. Playing Smith most of the game, but if we need a pass blocking specialist, play Collins
agree...
Whitworth and Smith at the tackles—Mathis and Collins at guard. I think that’s our starting line next year.
actually, I think Collins has the potential to play like a healthy Levi Jones and be a good LT.
Whitworth is good, but a bit slow against speed rushers at LT, so move him to RT, and have Andre replace Bobbie Williams as at RG. He would be a force there
Don't let all the percieved.....
character issues cloud the judgement. Andre is one heck of a talent at tackle. Question his judgement, maturity, etc. But, the kid is a football player first and a darn guifted one at that.
I like that Mehl.

When they drafted him...
….the projected him to “play every position” on the line. The Bengals like to draft tackles and convert them. We almost never draft true guards. Alexanders philosophy of pass protect is you better have four tackles if you want time.
I agree...
with everything but, the Collins part. I don’t think he has the body or skill set for guard.
RE:
I would argue that how they use the guards this year, that you could use a tackle at guard — especially at right guard, who rarely pulls (b/c it’s Bobbie, I guess).

if the guy is motivated he can dominate any match-up. Stamina issues will reduce his impact. He’ll aid the rotation. His experience playing 5-tech DE may mean we see some more hybrid 3-4 looks in todays game to allow Rivers, B.Johnson Rey and Dhani play together (as well as allowing M.Johnson to concentrate on pass-rushing)
by Sheffieldbengal on Dec 20, 2009 3:19 PM EST up reply actions
potential 3-4 alignment
DE Fanene
DT Smith
DE Geathers
OLB Johnson
MLB Rey
MLB Dhani
OLB Rivers
That would be interesting…
it will be interesting to see how the LB arrangement is next year.
How much longer will Dhani play/start.
Does Rey move to the middle?
How do you get B. Johnson more snaps?
When will Rivers start making big plays in addition to being a solid tackler?
RE: Dhani
Dhani is signed through 2010, so I’d expect him to play through next year.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
by Josh Kirkendall on Dec 20, 2009 3:50 PM EST up reply actions
ideally, Dhani would be the 4th LB, playing nickel and filling in at WILL and MIKE, but he still may be out best option at MIKE next year.
I just wish he was a little faster covering backs
Agreed.
I don’t think Rey is ready for the middle. At least compared to Dhani. Rey could be a big play maker, but he’s still too fresh. Even though his aggressiveness has worked for him this year, it’s also been his biggest detriment.
