Cincinnati Bengals official offseason thread

[mlh1981]

Got one for other teams, so lets add the Bengals to the mix.

Team needs: TE, WR, depth at safety, K

-What direction does Carson Palmer take from here on out?
-Who will step up and be that second wide receiver to compliment Chad?
-what steps does the offense need to take to quit remaining so "vanilla?"
-what direction do the Bengals turn to in terms of kicking? Graham should be shown the door.

i don't know if you guys could pull it off, but Brandon Marshall looks to have overstayed his welcome in Denver, and him and OchoCinco would be crazy

[Posterize246]

I'm trying to think of the last year I could name a Bengals tight end.

I see that Reggie Kelly has been their TE for years. If you've been with a team for a long time and fans outside of Cincy still don't know who you are, maybe it's time for an upgrade.


Just going to throw this out to mlh for his opinion.......Terrell Owens?

What ever happened to Ben Utecht?

I thought he was going to be a very good fit with the Bengals when he signed there and when Housh was still there.

I agree though that the Bengals need another option for Carson to give Chad more freedom.

Draft prospects

TE - Jermaine Gresham: OU




WR - Arrelious Benn: Illinois




S - Earl Thomas: Texas




3 prospects I'd consider at the Bengals pick if they are there that is.

[takeittothehoop]

mlh, I think you're Bengals would benefit greatly if they could draft a legit receiver..Damian Williams (USC) would be an option if he falls to them and also that Benn guy from Illinois. They could also try to draft Aaron Hernandez (Florida), in the 2nd round to try and fill the TE gap. He had a great yeat with the Gators, top 2 TE in the draft.

mlh what you think about Leon Hall? The next Revis as far as people labelling him a shutdown corner?

If you want to put a face on this young, improved defense, ,Leon Hall is the one to take a look at. Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer had these guys playing out of their mind. Hall was a big reason for our division sweep. The vaunted Pittsburgh passing attack, in particular, was slowed by his presence.

Him, ,Johnathan Joseph, Rey Maualuga, and Keith Rivers. 4 young guys to lead a great defense.

Malcolm Floyd would probably look nice in a Cincy uniform and I think you give Chase Coffman a chance to prove himself and sign a stop gap at TE.

[mlh1981]

I'm sure you people saw that Rey Maualuga getting nailed for a DUI.

This stupid **** with this organization NEVER seems to end

Call a cab!

Cincy doesn't really have too many holes. I think they go BPA with their draft picks

Guy came to my job wearing a hunter orange vest and orange hat. It was only when I got close to him did I realize "AFC North Champions" was written on his hat. Bengals fan in Philly? Mind was blown.

That's awesome

I passed on all "AFC North Champions" gear. The goal was to win more than just that, and we failed. Maybe if we had won the Super Bowl, I would have bought a north champs/afc champs/super bowl champs shirt, gear to commemerate each of the steps, but just by itself, I passed on division champs gear.

Bet there's a whole "secret society" of Bengals fans in Philly!

[Anton Chigurh]

they need the resign these 3 players in this order.

Roy, Tank or Boobie. Kelly is done btw.

[tsforthrees]

so, Ochocinco and TO running routes, on the same field, in the same uni? i don't think it would work.
