Is that willis

willis mcgahee …. I still remember that devastating knee injury in that college bowl game…..

To see Dalton in that pick handing it off to willis … Well just shows you can come back from any thing as long as you have the heart.

Do you know what a super man Ass Whooping is ?... Its the type of Ass Whooping you wish you could Fly away from !....

I am more sad now that i have researched Greg Cook and seen what might have been

Congrats to Coyle on your promotion….

Still looking 4 LBer coach / DB Coach now. hopefully we will get those soon
Also dont forget the replacement for Lippencott who retired this offseason.

4 youngins in the probowl. will do nothing but help them improve their game.
all in the 2nd year or less oldest is dalton @ 24 long bright future here in cincy.

and after Mike Zimmers latest comment. I’d say now would be a good time to promote him to HC

there i think i got all 4

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 2:19 PM EST up reply actions

why?

The head coach told him he needed more production. Remember we didn’t start generating turnovers until Marvin blasted the defense play. If that’s case why not play Sands or Miles over Crocker?

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 2:32 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

well first 2 years were stop the run

then rush the passer…

next will be Get the ball.

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 2:33 PM EST up reply actions

ha ha ha

That’s a hell of development. In all honestly though a hard hitting safety and one sure tackling lb a take a lot of our defensive problems away.

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 2:37 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

Oh yes we need a new starting SS

Could Be Sands Could be Mays could be Barron

who knows but it will be someone….

And LBer we get Moch this year and Muckeroy (who is a sure tackler) we just need Lbers that can cover TE’s

And Mays did a good job covering TE Owen Daniels in the first round vs the texasn but was inactive for the playoff game

Meaning Mays could be used as a cover LBer if we get a playmaking SS elsewhere or we can have 3 safties on the field vs 2 TE sets

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 2:41 PM EST up reply actions

Crocker was still netter in coverage than Sands or Mays would’ve been.

Don't know about that

Crocker was pretty bad in coverage:)

by biggie22 on Jan 27, 2012 11:10 PM EST up reply actions

Picks1-4

1. Decastro
2. Miller
3. Jenkins
4. Konz

I this is our best options… Jenkins could be swapped out if you want. I also think if for some odd reason Kirkpatrick would fall to 17 I would go:

1. Kirkpatrick
2. Decastro
3. Konz
2. Pead/Martin

AD to AJ = TD!!

This is also barring no good FA OL

I want the Baylor wr

He’s a sure fire playmaker. I rather have him than any cb other than Kirpatrick. So I’ll take Barron and Wright with first two picks.

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 2:35 PM EST via mobile reply actions

Wright? ill pass hes a play maker sure but hes also 5'10" and we have 3 slot guys

but for a #2 WR we could pick up Posey later and Binns/Hazelton might blow up this year who knows

But in the First we need a DB be it CB both jenkins or kirkpatrick could fall due to arrest.
And either Richardson… or OG. (only RB in the 1st would be richardson)

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 2:43 PM EST up reply actions

+1 I agree with you Bengalsfan024

but from my dealings with Pray, he will not let it go that easily, get ready….

by Toasted_Orange_Monster on Jan 27, 2012 3:04 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

But posey, binns/hazelton is not on wright level. More so on Caldwell level. We need a speed demon on outside that’s why I mentioned Wright. Jury still out on Jenkins didn’t look all that impressive to me at practice this week.

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 2:51 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

We need Sanu if we draft a WR high. Sanu will be a beast to whatever teams picks him up.

by TCfromDubVee on Jan 27, 2012 2:55 PM EST up reply actions

Looking forward to what Binns or Hazelton can do I agree 100%

AD to AJ = TD!!

by Toasted_Orange_Monster on Jan 27, 2012 3:38 PM EST up reply actions

In that case

Why not take Rainey in the 4th?

What do you do when there's no way out? Find a way to get deeper in it.

by jimbasa on Jan 27, 2012 7:30 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

Sleeper of draft. Look like he was playing a lot of wr this week also.

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 8:23 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

I would love rainey

he can be like a sproles. We need a return man that can be a game changer,

by Masonr on Jan 27, 2012 8:35 PM EST up reply actions

"Jury still out on Jenkins didn’t look all that impressive to me at practice this week."

Just and FYI to pray’s comment I am quoting. He is the ONLY person in all of the scouts, fans, etc that thinks he wasn’t impressive at practice this week.

by Oregonbengalsfan on Jan 27, 2012 3:05 PM EST up reply actions

watch him for urself dude

I don’t go off what some tv dude says. His he probably was impressive because as I mentioned all cb sucked to me. Only one stood out was a Bentley kid. Put it like this didn’t none of the top 6 cb at senior move up I’m my opinion.

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 3:22 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

Only CBs that moved up for me have been Bentley, Fleming, Norman and Asa Jackson. All guys I didn’t get to see much. Jenkins played solid, as I expected him to. Dennard played poor in off coverage. As I expected.

Just watch.game at 4 pm Saturday

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 3:23 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

I hope he has an interception...

and a slew of other great stats and makes u look even more like the idiot you are. BTW your posts are really annoying to read because you are unable to speak a lick of proper english…. “Put it like this didn’t none of the top 6 cb at senior move up I’m my opinion.” is practically the dumbest way of saying “To put it simply, none of the top six CB’s stocks after their practices for the Senior Bowl rose, in my opinion.” If you want someone to really take you arguments seriously, please learn to speak a little smarter because God know’s you are not helping yourself out by ignoring facts that are plain as day available to you.

by joecincy07 on Jan 27, 2012 3:42 PM EST up reply actions

who moved up? um nobody!!!

Before senior bowl all ur so called experts were saying Jenkins fell off and this dude name Denard was better prospect. Denard shouldn’t even been invited to participate while Jenkins wasn’t bad compared to the other cb but he did struggle in man coverage to me. Too me he want be an upgrade over Pac man, so why spend 1st rd pick on him? Damn, get off my nuts Zimmer just said yesterday that if #2 dt and #4 cb available were taking dt. So what that mean smart guy? Zimmer must believe that #3/4 cb prospects aren’t that highly rated in his book. And what facts have u spoken? U keep telling me what everybody else saying. Where I’m from we call that jock riding. And dummy Jenkins my favorite player out draft so I wanna see him in stripes but I also wanna win this CHAMPIONSHIP I smell. Go back on all the older post I was on Jenkins first and u lames wanted Denard talking crap about my boy had character issues. I just call it how I see it Yall, if Jenkins wasn’t shutting down wr at practice and none are 1st rd picks then why u think he can come in and start from day one?

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 4:19 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

In doing so you ignore our biggest needs....

OL / CB

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 2:44 PM EST up reply actions

draft aint only place to improve ur team

Wr class isn’t has deep as Cb/ g class so u get more value taking wr in 1st. I wouldn’t mind dt or lb either.

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 2:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

I like Zach Brown out of UNC with our 21st pick or Jerel Worthy out of MSU.

by TCfromDubVee on Jan 27, 2012 2:56 PM EST up reply actions

True but until we know what happens in FA

These are still our biggest needs

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 3:23 PM EST up reply actions

Not looking to argue,

but Jenkins and also Boykins flat out dominated this week.
If he interviews well, Jenkins will be 1st round guy.
Martin also looked sharp as can be.

by JoeskiBroski on Jan 27, 2012 4:21 PM EST up reply actions

Uh Oh Joeski

you said Jenkins dominated… watch out for pray4gm11…

by Oregonbengalsfan on Jan 27, 2012 4:29 PM EST up reply actions

I have to agree.

Why pass up the chance to get a dominant player to draft the 4th or 5th best player at a position, just because its a position of need. Great teams get the best players. Bad teams draft for needs

by EPK1979 on Jan 28, 2012 1:44 AM EST via mobile up reply actions

This is from ESPN's Jamison Hensley and his ALL-AFC North Team:

Wide receiver: A.J. Green, Bengals. The fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft made an immediate impact as a deep threat. His 11 receptions in 2011 of 35 or more yards tied Detroit’s Calvin Johnson and the N.Y. Giants’ Victor Cruz for most in the NFL. It was the most by an NFL rookie since 1998, when Minnesota’s Randy Moss had 14. Green had six catches of 35-plus yards over the last seven regular-season games. His 51-yard catch over Joe Haden set up the game-winning field goal in Cincinnati’s 23-20 win in Week 12.

Tight end: Jermaine Gresham, Bengals. This was perhaps the closest call on offense. Gresham edged out Pittsburgh’s Heath Miller and Baltimore’s Ed Dickson because he led AFC North tight ends in receptions (56) and touchdown catches (six). In the comeback win over the Bills, Gresham pulled the Bengals to within 17-13 in the third quarter with a one-handed 17-yard touchdown grab and then had a 25-yard reception in the fourth quarter, which was the longest play in the game-tying drive.

Right tackle: Andre Smith, Bengals. The most improved player in the division, Smith is quietly starting to distance himself from the label of being a first-round bust. This isn’t to say he didn’t have some poor games and a high number of penalties (eight). Overall, it was a bad year for right tackles in the division. Smith stood out because he stayed on the field for 14 games, doubling last year’s total, and developed into an above-average starter.

where is all the players from our top 5 defense?

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 3:33 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

or better yet where ur pro bowler Nelson?

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 3:33 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

All-AFC North Defense Team:

Defensive end: Carlos Dunlap, Bengals. Tough call over Pittsburgh’s Brett Keisel. Before being slowed by a hamstring injury, Dunlap was getting to the quarterback like no other defensive end in the division. Despite missing four games, he recorded 4.5 sacks and led the Bengals with 27 quarterback pressures, which was four more than anyone else on the team.

Defensive tackle: Geno Atkins, Bengals. While the Bengals’ run defense faltered in the second half of the season, their front four pressured the quarterback like no other in the AFC North and perhaps the league. And Atkins was a huge part of that by collapsing the pocket up the middle. He tied Oakland’s Tommy Kelly for sacks by an interior lineman in the NFL with 7.5. He is the first Bengals interior lineman to top the team in sacks since 1996, when Dan Wilkinson led with 6.5.

We are in a division with Ed Reed and Troy P

until there gone they will win

by Bengalsfan024 on Jan 27, 2012 3:39 PM EST up reply actions

reed had damn near more int then our safeties

In postseason alone. He better by himself than Crocker and Nelson is together. Troy always been and will be overrated

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 3:46 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

HAHAHAHA

Tray is overrated?!?! The guy is all over the field make play after play when he is on the field. The only thing that could possibly put him close to a line of being overrated is him being prone to injury. Ed Reed and Troy are deserving of the credit they receive, as is ryan clark.

by joecincy07 on Jan 27, 2012 3:49 PM EST up reply actions

nelson had better year than Troy thats all im really sayin

by pray4gm11 on Jan 27, 2012 4:00 PM EST via mobile up reply actions

Hmmm lets compare

Nelson – He had 85 total tackles, 59 were solo tackles, and 26 were assists. He also had 2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 4 interceptions, and 12 pass deflections.

Troy – He had 91 total tackles, 61 were solo tackles, and 27 were assists. He also had 1 sack, 2 interceptions, and 14 pass deflections.

That to me says that they had a very similar year, but I wouldn’t say better.
