HOWEVER, considering Brown’s love for scratch and dent players, if Jenkins is there at 17, expecting the Bengals to jump on him.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
before this year, I would’ve said lock for first round. Then he didn’t play lights out in D2. He SHOULD have. I spoke to a small school scout who gave him a 3/4 round grade.

I could ask your ear off about this.
I was wondering how deep is the CBs in this years draft. Can we afford to pass on a CB in the first round to pick one in th 2nd or 3rd round?
Being in Richmond, VA I have got to watch and ask about Chase Minnifield from UVA. Also there are a few others that have peeked my interest for the same rounds.
by TCfromDubVee on Jan 7, 2012 10:24 AM EST up reply actions
It's supposed to be a deep class, but I want to come out of the first round with one.
I’m also a big fan of Trumaine Johnson as a CB/S in the third round.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
I do too, but
I want a OG and WR out of the first more if a good WR is there.
by TCfromDubVee on Jan 7, 2012 10:30 AM EST up reply actions
call me crazy, but I think
that we should have enough receiving options next year. Green, Gresham, Shipley. It would be nice to have another outside wide receiver but I think we need to satisfy more pressing needs early in the draft
by Jason Blanton on Jan 7, 2012 10:40 AM EST up reply actions
Yep more pressing needs are there
but if one of those good WR’s are there late for us with our second pick it might be to much to pass up.

What about Hosely from VT? Projected in 2nd right now, haven't seen him much...
had a good bowl game from what I hear.

with jones and jennings being FAs and Hall possibly not ready at the start of the season
the bengals will need 2-3 CBs in the draft and FA. so i can imagine cincy taking 2 cbs during the draft. one in the 1st and a later cb that got a ton of talent.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
It’s one of the deepest classes in the draft. I could see 4 in the first round and 5 in the second round. Could the Bengals wait? Sure.

by Jason Blanton on Jan 7, 2012 10:36 AM EST up reply actions
bengals need a SS
provided they resign nelson at FS, otherwise we need 2 safetys.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
I'm pretty sure Barron is a SS.
I’d be good with drafting him in the first.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
He is one of the few safeties rated very high in this draft....
would be ok with a CB and S in the first.

Safety is the same as it’s been past 3-4 years. No elite talent but some guys who can start in rounds 2-3. Mark Barron (Bama) is widely considered the best. I’m actually doing safeties this week and i’ll have more of a concrete grades on these guys. A few that I’m really excited about.

Is Mark barron our only realistic option or has someone else caught your eye?
I like the look of Sean Richardson Winston Guy & Kelcie McCray who I haven’t been able to see play but has speed and size.
Outside of Trent Richardson, who do you like at running back?
Who looks like they might be a good value pick at this point?
by Animal_Like_Football on Jan 7, 2012 10:30 AM EST up reply actions
In the first round?
If Bengals get a very late 1st rounder, I can see Lamar Miller being a value pick at that point. At 17? They have to get the best OL or CB they can get. DeCastro is one of the highest touted Guards in years, so I don’t expect him to drop to 17. Glenn from Georgia? Perhaps. I have a feeling Kirkpatrick could still be around at 17. Such a CB heavy draft. I like the idea of a WR but lets see what Rome does in the playoffs before we declare that he isn’t coming back.
I liked Glenn at first but not so much now.
I would love to get Decastro, and Malcolm Floyd from ND in the first.
by TCfromDubVee on Jan 7, 2012 10:41 AM EST up reply actions
WR isn't worth getting in the first.
They have Shipley coming back and again, I’m not sold that they need to ditch Simpson.
Maybe but an upgrade would be nice.
I like Sanu in the 2nd but not sure he will still be there with our pick.
by TCfromDubVee on Jan 7, 2012 10:48 AM EST up reply actions
Not sure about the first round
but if LaMichael James is there in the second, I take him without hesitation.
beyond richardson in the 1st
don’t think the bengals should spend a 1st rounder on a rb, even hesitate to say the bengals should spend a 2nd rounder on a rb. hoping we can hold off until the 3rd round.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
I really like Lamar Miller (Miami) in round 1.
Chris Polk is a guy I love but his speed will make him a round 2 guy.
Then guys like Doug Martin (Boise), David Wright (WVu) are late 2nd – 3rd rounders.

"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Boise State running back... Martin
That is the running back I want us to have if Richardson is off the board. I watched some YouTube on him and he runs hard and has a second gear , not only that- he is agile and quick. What do you think?
I’d also trade one of those first round picks for more picks… It will be late in the 1st round and I think we’d be better off with more picks than just an additional 1st. Just sayin-

No thanks. He profiles to be a better version of Bernard Scott- not what we’re looking for. We need an every down back who’s able to take a beating.

RE:
We need a back with speed, shiftiness and hands. James fits all of those. While I agree that he’s a lot like Scott, I like James a lot. If he’s there in the third, I say grab him and get a bruiser in free agency or later in the draft.

RE:
Watch film on James. Though he’s small, he stronger than you think. You can also line him up as a WR. The Bengals offense needs an RB threat for Dalton. It’ll open things up for the playmakers outside. James is that kind of guy. Sign Tolbert or Michael Bush and add a James in the third and that’s pretty good.

Crickets chirped. I won’t say he stinks, but I haven’t been told what makes him seem like a better fit.
Merry Who-Dey, everybody!!
To be fair, a lot of times earlier in the year he only played in short yardage situations.
DMC was their every down guy. Bush only went in when it was a 3rd and 1 type of situation (where Ced usually fails.) Only going in on short yardage situations isn’t good for a YPC average.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean

I would be surprised if the Raiders let him go — aka, not making their own aggressive pursuit to bring him back. McFadden is hardly the most reliable guy, in terms of health.

raiders are in cap trouble
they had to borrow against next years cap for this season.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Also...
Hue and the new GM probably want to clear out all of Al’s guys on and off the field. That includes various players.
Wasnt Hue one of Al's guys?
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
bush is a younger benson
should be a cheap enough option for cincy’s front office. bush is a band aide to hold the team over until we can finally draft a RB of the future.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
I still like taking James
He has proven his durability and ability to run between the tackles. His versatility, ability to catch the ball and home run threat would be huge for this team. Further, I think the bruiser comes in the later rounds with a guy like Dan Herron, Line or someone of that ilk who will be a 3-5 round selection.
Getting suspended a few games is much different then getting kicked out of school.
by TCfromDubVee on Jan 7, 2012 10:36 AM EST up reply actions
He has a point though.
Dunlap wasn’t kicked out of Florida, but he was definitely a problem child there. Rey was the same way at USC. But we took both because they would have been much higher picks based on talent alone and dropped to us because of character. Sounds an awful lot like Jenkins, right?
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
Having problems at your school over things is one thing.

Dunlap was arrested AT LEAST once, and I think twice.
But since he’s gotten here, he’s been a model citizen.

Pacman Jones doesn't even the excuse that he was a "kid" at the time; he's been arrested several times in the NFL.
He’s still on the team. Same with Ced Benson.
The bottom line is, it’s possible to forgive guys for doing dumb shit. Lamichael James beat his girlfriend. Janoris Jenkins smoked some weed. Yet people are talking about drafting James a few comments above this.

Dunlap had one arrest for a DUI then did noting else and stayed in school.

jenkins got tossed out of 1 school
went to his next college and still couldnt keep his focus on the field. does cincy really need another immature player with drug issues and a couple of assaults on his record?
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Especially
when there’s so many others at his skill level in this draft. If he was a worlds better? You can take a strong look. If he’s sitting there at 17? So will Dennard, Hosley, Minnifield and maybe Kirkpatrick. Jenkins isn’t more extraordinary then those guys.
Jenkins would have been top 10 last year, and with out getting arrested back 2 back and getting kicked out of school
would have been challenging for the top CB spot this year. Kid’s got talent no doubt. I can look past a weed charge, but he had 3 arrests never learned and got kicked out of school.

I remember one of his most appealing traits being his massive hands. His hands were measured as the biggest in that draft class.
That probably led analysts to assume that he caught everything. Remember that he came from a small school and wasn’t analyzed as much as the guys from bigger teams. They probably made an inference given his hand size and never bothered to make sure it was true.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
I don't think that is true.
Maybe, but I am pretty sure you can tell that by watching some film and looking at the statistics for dropped passes. If the guy had cement hands in college, there is no way he gets drafted because he is a dolt who couldn’t run routes.
I am starting to wonder if the problem stems from them not throwing to him enough for the first couple of years in practice (marvinism of the youth) and he lost his touch.
I still think there is a big mis-perception of simpson
this is pretty much his rookie year in terms of starting time and has 725 yrds and 4 tds…. And you can tell there is still upside and flip side there lol
AMAS
His 4th rookie year
But if he doesnt have any legal trouble,Jerome seems to be a team guy
Has that speech thing,was he a W.V. product?
j/k seen earlier post
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
My have caught some things he didnt want
Those big hands
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
he was a from a smaller school
scouts (correctly) predicted it would take time for simpson to adjust to nfl offensive game plans.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Agreed
But that doesn’t explain his hands. If he could catch “everything” that was near him before, but was never in the right place, it makes sense that it took time. Now he is running the routes, but forgot how to catch?
its not his hands that have failed him in the nfl
he catches the balls when he tries. he quits on plays at times, those are the passes that hit the ground around him.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Simpson still has great hands.
He can catch passes only a handful of guys in the league can make. He just lacks concentration.

or awareness..
its like he’s zoned out sometimes. not sure what that is about..
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
This season...
Should change how we think about this team going forward. Depth, guys stepping up, heart. All of these are what we are about not the crap we’ve dealt with for the last 20+ years. I know talking about the draft is always exciting, but WE HAVE A PLAYOFF GAME TODAY! The season is NOT over. I believe in this team. This team needs to step up for us as fans and for the city of Cincinnati. Let’s play with some fire today. Win individual battles. and keep it simple. We CAN win this game!!!!
RE:
Totally agree. And as we made a point earlier, if the ball rolls their way at least once during their losses, they could easily be 15-1. I know, they could also lose their close games but we’re Bengals fans and we don’t envision how the Bengals could have lost their wins, right? :)

will be a huge off season for cincy
failure to address the glaring holes on the team, could drag this team back down next year. keep in mind who will be fa’s from cincy in the off season. the team will have to make a commitment to winning in the off season with a couple of real moves. RB, Gx2, CBx2 (jones, jennings arew fa), Sx2 (nelson is a fa)
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
This coming offseason
Is quite possibly the most important in recent memory. Sure others have been important but if we bring in the right guys (team first mentality, good talent, unselfish) this team could be sent over the top and be one of the top tier teams for years

Players arrested in college
From a discussion above.
Does it really matter if a player is arrested IN COLLEGE for something like a DUI, or other thing that college kids do? Hurting others (abuse, battery, etc..) is one thing and that’s hard to stand behind someone for. Other the other hand, if a player is arrested for a DUI, or a little bit of pot, do we really care. Most kids that get in trouble for that stuff mature soon in the professional (not everyone, obviously, but a majority, sure)

That's exactly what I'm trying to say about Jenkins.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
But you do have to consider it I think and if the player has had multiple run-ins........
doesn’t that raise quite a few red flags? Plus, if your going to give a young man a lot of money that has had some problems with the law/drugs/bar fights etc., wouldn’t you agree that given a checkered past, they might be more likely to get in trouble in the future? It’s not an exact science by any means, but if you’ve got two guys fairly equal in talent and one has not gotten in trouble, I would prefer to take that indivdual who has shown over time to make good decisions. Not saying never pick a player with any problems, but all other things being equal……go with the guy who has proven to make wise choices.

I agree
if someone gets in trouble mainly because they are immature, with the right coaches, they should be able to fix that. But if there are some serious issues, then I wouldnt’ waste a draft pick.
AMAS
And the Bengals evidently have the right coaches to fix that.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
i know Bernard scott had some serious red flags when he was coming out of college
but I havn’t heard of any problems since he has been in the NFL
AMAS
Even Andre has seemed to turn it around finally, but he was more immature.....
than issues with drugs, violence, etc. Our coaches have done a good job with the team we have, I think we just don’t want to keep rolling the dice and adding more potential questionable characters to the locker room. We tried that before with Odell, Slim, etc. etc. Talented yes, but everything else……not so much.

Not impressed with him or Dennard
Onfield or off cover corners are overated and with the pass friendly rules aren’t that effective. Leonard Johnson will be available in 3rd if we go that way he’s been the most impressive this year. Hoping we go with Zim wants and get CBs that are ball hawks for more ints
A conversation I had with someone about Dalton...
Don’t get me wrong, I think Dalton has been awesome, but with the course of the NFL I think he may find himself outmatched. This appears to be the beginning era of QBs throwing for 5,000 yards and 40 TDs, and I’m just not sure Dalton will ever be that guy. He’s never going to lose you a game, but I’m also not sure he’s the guy to go out there and win you a game on his own- the top teams (besides the 49ers) all seem to have guys doing that.
Anyone else have thoughts on that?
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
I think given a healthy Shipley and Rome not dropping some balls
He would have been closer to 4k yards. I see what you are saying, but look at the WR corps for those teams. Also did they play the defenses we did?
by TCfromDubVee on Jan 7, 2012 11:13 AM EST up reply actions
How many rookies (outside of Cam)
throw up 4,000 yards? We haven’t seen the full development of Dalton.
I'm with you there, but personally I just don't think Dalton quite projects to be a gunslinger.
And, though I hate it, the NFL seems to be going in the direction where you just about need a gunslinger.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
I'm not sure if I agree
I know all of the rules are offense oriented but once the defenses figure the new rules and stop playing with their heads and just react it will even out and defense and the running game will once again be a big part of the game.
AJ Green = Optimus Prime
Well.
You would have to look at a lot of stats to make the analysis. Think of it this way: How many yards did Brday throw this year? How many were with air under the ball? How many were intermediate seam routes to the tightend that had massive YAC? etc etc etc. You can’t just look at the total yards and get any picture at all of what a QB is cabable of. My biggest concern is that Dalton finished the year under 60% in the accuracy column. Hopefully that will go up.
I'm looking at his... tools (to use a baseball term) more than yardage this year.
His deep ball leaves a lot to be desired. He doesn’t seem have the arm strength to jam the ball into super tight coverage like it’s sometimes necessary to do. His accuracy, though good, might not be quite good enough to run a pure WCO.
He’s obviously very talented and smart as well, but to me it doesn’t look like he projects to carry the team like Brady, Brees, Rodgers, or even Eli Manning.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
I don't know about that.
I have seen quite a few ropes this year coming from his arm. They are usually in the short to medium range, but that is all that is needed to split the defenders. You are correct about the long ball though. they ALWAYS have too much air under them.
Quite a few of the deep balls he's completed this year
would have probably been picked off if just about anyone in the NFL besides AJ Green was the intended receiver.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
You are right!
There have been flashes. I hope he can get sticky hands so we will have a replacement for the old TJ/Chad combo. Only Rome is faster and has a better jump ball than TJ but isn’t as good in the slot — but we have Shipley for that next year. I personally think we should keep Rome.
we're not a run and gun offense.
we’ll do just fine with the dink and dunk, provided we add a running back and guards.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
kinda agree
But then again, how often do we get 4 wr sets? The Bengals will have to turn into a passing team before we can get a fair gauge on Andy in that sense.

Just a trend
Offensive number’s will keep going up

It will be 0200 before the Bengals play here and since I have a little down time I’m going to grab about 5 hours of sleep and get up for the game. Tomorrow I’ll be dragging unless they win. Luckily no missions for me…
What's funny is that that one guy started the draft talk by saying he'd take questions, then sort of disappeared while everyone else discussed and answered the questions.

you could move tebow around all day
have him line at WR, run a few option passes or reverses. insert him at TE, with a couple of fake blocking assignments that are shuttle passes to tebow. etc.
if i were denver, there’s no legal play i wouldnt consider today.

Denver has a strong defense that can put pressure on the injured Big Ben. It’s not likely to be a 49-10 romp. Feels like a 16-9 game.

I could see Dumervil/Von Miller taking out Ben early. If Ben is out, steelers don’t have much of a chance.
Steelers went 3-1
with Batch last year. Batch is a capable QB.
Steelers beat the Brownies 20-14 with batch just last week
Broncos are a better team than the browns. Also Mendenhall and Moore are out, they can’t carry the load like they did in those 4 games last year.
I remember that.
I also remember Ben’s suspension was known before the schedule came out. I also remember when the schedule came out, they had 3 or 4 very winnable games in the first 4. I remember thinking “Are you freaking kidding me? What a gift!”
i have yet to buy into the fighting tebows
felt it was a gimmick that would work for a short time until the nfl adjusted. you arent going to fool dick lebeau with that college crap. tebow will have to beat the steelers with his arm today.

I think we need to spread the ball around, with high percentage throws, and mix up the runs so they never know where the ball is going. Dalton at 68%, a solid running game and stout D should win it.

Nice piece on Jerome's Flip
from ESPN. Jerome is so soft-spoken. Such a departure from the TJ, Chad and TO’s of the past. Now, they are doing a piece on AJ.
yeah go figure

"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Go Bengals!
From the California’s biggest Bengals fan…I just drank three beers – very nervous and it’s 9:30am in the morning. Who Dey!
Oh geez...
I have been trying not to “pregame” so I can make it through the real game! I know today is going to be sloppy so I have to pace myself.
Pace yourself!
I feel more confident than two years ago versus the Jets! We will pull off a win in a battle!
Expensive Day.
I know today is going to be expensive (as was last week). When the Bengals win a big game, I buy “the crew” (about 15 of the regulars at the bar I go to) a Bengal bomb. Not every win, just the big ones. Of course, last week, since we made it to the playoffs, Bengal bombs for the crew. Win or lose today, I am sure there will be Bengal bombs after the game to celebrate the win, or to celebrate the new beginings for our team.
Time to give my favorite bar some money today!
What is a Bengal bomb?
I need to know…for research.

Like a Jager-bomb
Only, instead of redbull, you use orange soda (orange soda and jager in a bomb cup or you can do it with a shot glass of jager sitting in a glass of orange soda filled up below the bottom of the shot glass). It is freaking tasty!
This Postseason
I read a lot of comments about how people are excited about the direction this team is going in and how making the post season has made their year. I believe the exact same thing; this season was unbelievably and, quite frankly, unexpected success. However, how sweet would it be to continue that? I mean, a win today not only proves the people that claimed this would be one of the worst teams ever put on a football field (I don’t have sources, but I do remember hearing multiple people say that during preseason) wrong, but it also proves all of those people that argue against the Bengals for the fact that they haven’t beaten a playoff team this season were unfairly judging this team. The playoffs are a brand new season where anything can happen. Clearly, this has been an entire football year where anything can happen. Sure, we didn’t beat a playoff-bound team this regular season, but what better way to get that first win than doing it in the playoffs?
One other thing
If the Bengals do actually take the lead early, will Marvin tuck their heads into the turtle shell and try to run out the clock with 3 quarters remaining? If it was Sam Wyche you know they’d pour gasoline on the fire. One of Marvin’s big problems is no killer instinct in big games where they do take a lead. If they get ahead, they should pour it on, maybe take more risks instead of fewer risks.

Damned if u do,damned if you dont
With our young team,lack of running game,and inconsistent pass protection
I’d rather live with Marvin ball,then try to play Madden like some rookie
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
The Bengals have their work cut out fir them today.
Andre Johnson is back. If they want to win, they better think about covering the underneath crossing pattern. Which they failed at miserably in the previous meeting. Pay special attention to Owen Daniels. Our LB’s can’t cover him.

It is pretty electric down here in Houston
It is going to be LOUD at Relaint – it will be an electric atmosphere
News stations were running hour long TV specials last night – non stop TV/Radio pushing the Texans
A Krogers down here was supposodley selling “Go Bengals Cookies” the radio guys were raising hell – calling Krogers/bashing them – it is kind of crazy
I think Cincy can beat them – but they need to maintain their poise – try to keep the crowd out of it at least part of the game
I think the Texasns fans are little delusional thinking they have this game – it is a tossup – and crowd will probably be a factor
Go Bengals – Whip the Texans!!
Draft Numbers & Options
Back to some draft talk (we still have hours to kill)
We have 5 picks in the first three rounds thanks to the Carson & Chad parting gifts and then the regular later round picks…. My question is “how mNy players do we really need to bring in.”. W ith the new rookie salary cap, moving up in the draft is much. Plus, unlike prior Bengals team, we are really not struggling for depth. Think about it… If we bring in a quality a quality RB, S, G, and 2 CBs… Five players that can contribute at those positions… Do we really NEED anything else….
The new rookie cap changes everything. If the team wants to retain FAs and bring in others, the best way to free up funds is to draft STARTERS that will take up a small portion of the team’s overall cap for four years. Then the Freed up funds can go to FA.
I say we should consider focusing on quality over quantity and get the 5 most blue chip players we can, even if it costs the other 4 picks.
Agreed
Seems like we always lose a couple quality pick ups to other teams (Dezmon Briscoe). Plus with Marvin’s penchant for burrying youngsters, doesn’t help. So if there’s the clear path to move up and grab the best fit for our big needs, do it.

I'm cringing at the thought of losing
Collins, Sims and Nelson players our coaches have developed and then benifitting other sides, Can’t think of last high profile player we have aquired in F.A. it’s usually other teams unwanted
we will more than likley keep Nelson
But sims and Collins leave to start more than likley.
by JCompton41 on Jan 7, 2012 2:46 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I can see us keeping Sims.
I think he might understand that a run stopper is going to rotate no matter how you slice it. Collins, on the other hand, is probably going to jet — and I don’t blame him.
I can't image
anyone shooting that down. We should have given it a try on running downs in the past could of weeks.
yeah
I was throwing it around on here (CJ) when Bobbie got suspended, got a whole lot of…the coaches know more than you responses
Really?
The only reason I can see them not doing it is because of what these guys are being paid, but that is stupid. It would be a tough pill to swallow when your RG is getting paid RT money, but seriously, who cares if it means we can pound the football behind the right side.
but it will never happen
They’re already paying LT money for a RT, no way they pay LT money for a guard.
by JCompton41 on Jan 7, 2012 2:55 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
usually the LTs get paid the big money because theyre protecting the blind side
I can’t think of any RT getting Joe Thomas or Jake Long money off the top of my head.

by JCompton41 on Jan 7, 2012 2:59 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
maybe at this point in his contract
But they gave him 21 mill signing bonus and all that when he was drafted. I don’t think the bengals actually mind paying big money for 2 tackles, but they do for guards, look at steinbach, when they paid levi and Willie.

Which is why the Ravens need to replace Flacco with a left-handed QB.

his rookie contracts not bad with the wage scale
But he’s one of the best right tackles in football already he will get paid big money regardless of his side, especially in Dallas.

smith has been solid at tackle
But I can’t disagree, Collins needs to be on the field, no doubt he’s one of the top 3 or 4 lineman on the team
by JCompton41 on Jan 7, 2012 2:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
depends if he wants to get paid like a rotational guy or a starter.
If we lose him we need to go get a run stopper. I would say get 2, have peko, adkins, fanane, and 2 big run stoppers.

I might reach and take with 2nd 1st or trade down couple spots to get 3rd rounder and James. He is an elite talent, no where in Scott territory. If we can grab Jenkins, Barron, and James with first 3 picks that a take our team to CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL. Grab a speedy Wr, TE, D-line,and another Cb. We got plenty of cash available get the best young guard in free agency. People don’t forget about Rivers and Shipley both guys can play that wasn’t playing for us this year.

I can’t forget two superbowls to them i’d rather see Shitsburg or the boring Pats win
Everyone is predicting a Saints blowout
But their last game was closer than people realize, and the defense will come out angry after last week. If they can stop Saints even a little they have the offense to pull it off. It would be a surprise, but I think they can do it.
How sweet would it be...
…if today was the day that the Bengals pull off the massive blowout that we’ve been waiting all season for?
To conservative for a BLOWOUT
17-3, type of blowout
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
That regular season game should have been a blowout, based on the first half.
Cincy Jungle: Where the Rocky Mountains are in the Pacific Ocean
yes,i agree
Just depends on what your definition of a blowout is i guess
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
Yeah, I guess so.
For me a blowout is when it’s at least more than a ten point game, and one team clearly outplayed the other the whole game. You said 17-3. and if the defense was truly dominant I would consider that a blowout.

The season is already a success in my mind regardless of the outcome today. We’ve set ourselves up to be a winning franchise in the near future with a young QB, elite WR, and a lot of young talent on the front of the defense. That doesn’t even count the extra picks we gained from trading Carson and Chad. The experience will also be extremely helpful in the near future.
