Tuesday Links and Notes

I asked Conquest Chronicles to give us a brief idea of what we're getting in Rey Maualuga. They were awesome enough to put this profile up for us. Thanks guys!

Paul Daugherty said, "Now that the Bengals have released Chris Perry, they have exactly zero players on their team from the '04 Draft." If by saying zero players, he means Robert Geathers, then he's right.

Bengals Gab says a lot of risk with this draft. I maintain that risk is always an issue with the NFL draft; whether your worried about character, durability or dealing with down-right busts. You always have risk in the draft.

Todd Boeckman is getting a tryout with the Bengals.

Chick Ludwig reviews the team's 2009 Draft.

A three-day NFL Draft on Prime Time? Good grief.

Kind of short fellas. That's the price I had to pay after taking off a few days at work. Now I'm back at work. And it's raining outside.

Great profile on Rey-Lu!

2004 was a wash....

2005 didn’t turn out so good either………Maualuga will become the face of our defense for years to come……Muscle up “D” and kick some butt !!

In Paul’s defense, Bob Geathers has been forgettable since his big year in 2006.

That's not a very good defense.

However, I feel for Paul. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done the same thing forgetting about someone or something. Wait, is that something I should admit?

in principle, Daugherty should have an editorial staff…
but he just got fired from 700, so give him a little slack

Um

Can we pick up Larry Foote now that he’s been disposed of by the Steelers? Please?

Foote won't be a Bengal anytime soon

Why not?

Daugherty couldn’t understand the need for a college playoff system and wanted the Reds to trade Joey Votto and Johnny Cueto for Joe Blanton. Used to think the guy was kind of sharp, but his “I’m just a simple guy with simple tastes…except I’m not” schtick was wearing a little thin. My guess is that Mo Eggert was making a lot less than any of the guys who got axed. Or, Cincinnati really is hogwild for radio personalities that:
a) sound like a 45-year old lesbian on her period, mixed with Kermit the Frog
b) are unfamiliar with the concept of humor or jokes
or
c) make lusting after internet pinups on their blog creepier than humanly possible

"sound like a 45-year old lesbian on her period, mixed with Kermit the Frog"

OK, that kind of peaked my interest. Can we make this happen? Maybe a podcast for CJ.com?

Ha…you’ll have to get in contact with Mo’s representatives. I think I was probably a bit harsh, but he really was painful to listen to. As hard up as I am for Bengals coverage here in Columbus, 5 minutes is about all I could stomach. C. Trent, on the other hand, did a hell of a job when he filled in. Cutman was genuinely off his rocker. Enjoyed him, too.

Risk/Reward

Thought the post on Bengals Gab was more than a bit screwy. Looking at the title you would think that the author thinks it was a really risky draft. And then you read the article and the guy gushes about Smith and Rey. Should be titled “Huge Upside with Little Risk”
