 |
|
|
In honor of CDub, let's put our random offseason thoughts here. I'll start:
- I really like Shawn Williams. He definitely has his flaws in coverage but with Reggie Nelson back there covering deep, I think Williams is the guy we need to help underneath against the run. Hopefully he wins the starting gig.
- Am I the only one that thinks Hunt won't do anything for us this season? I like the potential but I think expect for a couple of splash plays, he'll get washed out/be a non-factor until he learns leverage/hand usage.
- Going pencil Geno in now for 15 sacks...

Smart idea for a thread. 
So, back to the Adopt-A-Bengal ordeal, should we just start it up one day and have people pick or do a draft type thing?

I'm good with whatever as long as I get Geno.
On second thought as long as I don't get Geathers...

It's always nice to have a big thumper at safety. I think that's what Williams brings, as well as vocal leadership. If fans aren't excited about him, I think they will be when they see him on the field. As for Hunt, I could see it. We'll see. We still have Dunlap and MJ so it's going to be hard to be much more than just backing them up this year. He's such a freak though, I hope for our sake he catches on fast.
As for Geno, sounds about right.

Haha, I doubt you'll get that bad of pick if we randomize...
I just have no idea where you can randomize a set of names. If someone wants to give an idea on when we should start this that'd be great as well.

Summer break starts in two hours, the Bengals have only one unsigned draft pick at the moment, we kept all our top free agents. What else could we ask for as fans?
......Oh yeah, Adopt a Bengal. How about waiting till august when everyone is around.
I think Dunlap and Atkins both sign extensions. In June. Maybe extend MJ after that.
Williams will be a Polumalu-type enforcer for us on defense.
Hunt doesn't have to do that much anyway. i still see him getting about as many sacks as Gilberry in half the snaps.
With a lot of 2 TE sets, Sanu is going to explode, as long as he stays healthy.

I say do it now. Keep the forum alive for a while. This is the time of the year where people get busy and don't visit here. Maybe this will give them a reason.
Plus, when August rolls around people will want to talk football and not necessarily do the adopt-a-bengal.

This is kind of what I thought. I'd post it up and wait a bit for people to notice it and sign up and all. It wouldn't be like a 1 day thing and if you weren't on your out of luck. That way in TC and stuff you'd be excited about your guy as well.
To go with that, I know some forums have done 2 players a year pending on the amount of members, I was thinking just do 1 and hopefully we get more Bengals fans signging up and they can play even if they aren't here right when this starts up.

Dude, who made that unreal sig?
I highly doubt Hunt makes an impact, for at least the first 12 games. Then i can see him worked into the nickel like Lamur was last season. I mean, we have 4 solid ends who will dress, plus 4 tackles. Unless we don't dress Thompson and work Gilberry at DT on game day, I don't see the room. IMO, theres no need to rush him anyway. Put him under Zim's wing and unleash him in 2014. Its a shame he's already 26(?).
Adopt a Bengal? Lemme holla at Hall or Burfict.

Agree exactly with what redgreenshow said, not sure Hunt is gonna play much at all or even dress. Which is an issue because he's 26 and we don't have the luxury of waiting around for him to develop.
Really excited to see Eifert, Gresham, Charles and AJ on the field together. I think we will learn a lot about Andy Dalton this year. If he can't be more consistent, really produce with the weapons we have then maybe we have to start at least thinking about alternatives. I'm hopeful though, Eifert has a massive catch radius. We can really create mismatches.
Still skeptical about Williams. Think he's gonna get burned a lot and I'm not sure he has the range and ball skills necessary. Don't think he can come down and play the slot in man or cover tight ends. I really hope I'm wrong, but I think that's our weakness. Little worried about the health of Dre as well, he needs to stay on the field. The ability is there.
I think Lamur and Still are primed for huge years. Both showed flashes in limited snaps last year and they each take on bigger roles (nickel LB and rotational DT respectively) and I expect big things. Our front seven can be dominant this year. |

ChrisC made the sig.
We'll see on Hunt. I could see why it'd be hard for him to get snaps at first, but we'll see.
Im assuming we'll try and do some type of draft I guess...not sure what else to do.
