Open Thread: Bengals 2010 Roster Announced

PrintWell the roster is (mostly) finalized. There will no doubt be some changes in the coming days as the waiver wire works its magic, and as the Cincinnati Bengals sort through released free agents for possible upgrades. Safety Pat Watkins, who visited recently, is one possible addition (they kept just three safeties as of this writing), as is a backup QB (lots of love for Matt Leinart in Bengaldom these days).
Not too many surprises among the cuts today. I know, Daniel Coats making the final roster at the cost of Chase Coffman is a bit of a surprise to some, but from my chair Coats is the best blocking tight end on the team (and yeah, I'm talking to you, Reggie Kelly) and Jermaine Gresham rendered Coffman redundant. Still, it's eye-raising to see the Bengals give up on Chase so quickly. But I guess that's what 9 receptions for 94 yards and a TD in the last three preseason games does for Jermaine.
I'm also sorry to see S Kyries Hebert go, he was a special teams machine. Either Darrin Simmons has a better player, or he lost a roster argument.
Up next is the practice squad. I hope to see Dez Briscoe and Clinton McDonald there. And of course, my call for future Hall-of-Famer, Otis Hudson.
Got an opinion? Start spouting below.

What do you guys think of the Bengals signing him. Antono Bryant is gone, and TJ made his living as a slot WR for you guys.
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
No need
He’s more trouble than he’s worth.

OH Yeah! Duffman's pelvis is thrusting in the direction of the problem!

Seahawks traded a late-round 2011 draft pick to Philadelphia for OL Stacy Andrews.

RE:
Maybe in their mind, he’s an ex-Eagle. Perhaps that should have looked one more line down on the back of his football card.

I like the idea of Bengals getting Reggie Nelson

Agreed
I think the reason JOnes made the roster was to be abloe to do the trade.
Only real surprises is the number of safeties. I always believed Rucker would make the cut, and COffman seems to be the price, but I think Coffman will be back.
Sure. When he plays. :)

Amazing the comment on Pro Football Talk
that Nelson is worth nothing – c’mon if you can get him for David effin Jones that’s a great deal.

he's really a good fit for us
a nickleback that can cover. when was the last time the bengals had a safety that could cover? i love nuke, but he’s better at tackling and stopping holes. crocker? notsomuch a cover guy either. roy? he ain’t covering anyone at this point.
so nelson can’t tackle. shrug, we have a ton of safeties that can do that already. let zimmer work on nelson. he might be able to return nelson to his 07 form.
and we gave up d jones for nelson. uh. ok.

They should dump at least one of them
for someone with talent who got cut today.

Troy Smith is fine
Leinart would be fine.
Anybody with talent.
The truth is even though JT O’Suckitude and JP know the offense, if Carson goes down the season is over. So you might as well hire a guy who can be groomed to be a decent backup or even an eventual starter.

Yeah we can drop
JT O’suckmeister and move JP into the 2nd position and get some good info on the Ratbirds offense too.
biggest shock of 2010 for me
coffman couldn’t beat out an ancient reggie kelly.
coffman couldn’t beat out a 1 trick pony like coats.
coffman couldn’t block his way onto the team. he couldn’t catch his way onto the team. wow.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
Think they liked Coats versatility
at both FB and TE. Coffman was never going to offer that.
Coffman should be able to land somewhere.
And with better targets this year for Palmer, he won’t have to pass to Coats.

and coffman didnt
b/c he can’t do anything.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
coffman is still eligible
so if he clears waivers (i snickered a little there) he could end up on the practice squad.
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
I know Coffman is the bigger deal around here
But as a Ball State alum, I gotta ask, any chance Darius Hill lands back on the practice squad or are his days done here?
"I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.' - Chris Berman
I've always like Darius Hill, when I remembered he was on the roster.
He’s done some good things, but the team has a lot of plans for that practice squad I think. And no way he’s on the PS before Coffman. We’ll see, I do like him.
Leinart
Reedy:
For those monitoring the #bengals as the backup QBs turn, they are one of five teams making a run at Leinart
Yuck. Leinart is a whining prima donna. I’d rather keep JTO. He doesn’t make the team any better, but at least he doesn’t hurt the team.
