NFL football general discussion

[sgp]

THANK you scuba. all rivers was saying was "atta baby" to the defense coming off the field, he just was looking at cutler while doing it. they never showed what cutler was saying, but rivers is the only one who gets crap for it. as for the crowd, hes just interacting with them. the fans have fun with it. and trust me, rivers never get vulgar or anything, he's the kind of guy who'll say aww shucks. but, maybe i just have a west coast bias since i'm from SD. might as well, since there is such an east coast bias.

Sweet! Now the Bengals can go 0-16 to ensure they get Laurinaitis.

I think Malc would help them more, they have no shutdown corners. Weren't they last(or damn close to it) in picks this year?

The Bengals don't need to draft anyone to play in the secondary. They're set for about 15 years (assuming everyone resigns). The last few games the future (as in starting in 08 ) DBs played and impressed me.

CB - Jonathan Joseph - 1 year experience
CB - Leon Hall - Rookie
S - Chinendum Ndukwe - Rookie
S - Marvin White - Rookie

Yeah, they're set. Just need some backups. They really need to get a pass rusher. Too bad the teams ahead of the Bengals won't let Glenn Dorsey pass.
I don't think Justin Smith is resigning, so there goes our best DE.
Peko and Thornton should still be at DT. Neither are great pass rushers, but they're physical at the line, especially Peko for only having a year (now 2) of experience.
I'm not sure about Geathers, but I think his contract is up. There was a lot of talk about the backup DEs getting playing time.
Linebackers are fine as long as they stay healthy. It'll be nice if O'dell Thurman gets his suspension lifted. He played great his rookie year and has suspended for the last 2.

Offense is set, as we already know. All the rumors about a Chad Johnson trade are just that, rumors. It's already come out of the front office that Ocho Cinco is staying. Chris Henry should be playing all 16 games, barring any incidents during the off-season. If Palmer can get his interceptions down (career high 19 this year) it should look like the offense of 2005. I also say they stick with back by committee with Rudi, Watson and Dorsey.

Vernon Gholston. If he's still there, I think they'll take him, that mofo's a beast. He's projected to go at 5 or 6, if he slips past that Im sure the Bungals will snatch him up.

Well, It does deal with the draft, so technically, it could go in both.

But I wish Jenkins would have entered the draft. He would look might fine in a Bills uniform.

Irish, I'd be suprised if Dorsey makes it past the first pick. And that is assuming the Phins dont trade down so someone can snatch Mcfadden up

You have NEVER seen Tom Brady show class? spg, you really need to watch him more often.

In my opinion, he is one of the most classy players in the league. He did go off on a ref once or twice, but who doesn't???? There has been those two, maybe three times, that Brady showed his emotion.
