should the Bengals use Bat signal for Crocker this week

[icehole3]

 

[kramer1]

Yes, they should.

 

[icehole3]

are they allowed to use any tackle drills in practice or is that not allowed in the CBA

 

[Tubbs1518]

Did Illoka even play? He is the starting SS.

 

[icehole3]

they need all hands on deck after last night, Im sure Brandon Marshal had a smile on his face last night

 

[Tubbs1518]

Hall will be fine on Marshall, I'm not that concerned. With the way the Line will get pressure on Culter against that crappy O-Line, Hall won't have to stay on him that long. Hall has problems with the speed guys which Marshall is not.

hope you're right Tubbs

 

[Tubbs1518]

Marshall will put up some numbers, he always does. I think he gets probable 6 for 80 and a TD. Where we need to make sure we stop them is Forte. We can't let him run all over us and have 5-6 catches for 80-100 yards.

No. The dumbass broke his wrist when he decided to get mad in practice and take a swing at an offensive player. He connected with the helmet causing his injury and has been out the past few weeks because of this.

Moron.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I thought I read he would miss the end of the preseason but be back in time for Week 1.

100% agree... If he cant control his temper then he doesnt deserve to be out there WHEN WE NEED the kid..CALL CROCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!

Probably should have signed Kerry Rhodes....

Iloka will be just fine paired with Nelson. I think it is a good tandem.

He is young, lost his temper, made a mistake, learned a very valuable lesson from it.

Crocker doesn't need to be anywhere near this team. Tired of burnt toast in the center of the field.

Defense will be just fine. There is no one of significance on this team that will be out during our opening game. Most guys are just taking it easy, like Whitworth, Harrison, Green, etc. They have been capable of playing, but they are just holding them out to make sure that when opening day hits, they are 100% healthy. No sense in causing injuries to key players in preseason.

Andre "Gimp Knee" is not healthy...There is your run game...The problem is being covered up...

 

[jwil007]

Also Cris Crocker would come in right now and LOOK WAY BETTER THAN EVERY SS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jwil007]

Kerry Rhodes too.....All of these SS are garbage...every last one of em...we cant go into the season in the AFC North with these SS....Sign Crocker or Rhodes NOW! Get STABILITY at the position...yes they may give up a TD but NEITHER will look as bad as what we have....I trust none of em...Sorry...I will stand alone on this...

Disagree 100%.

Crocker is old and not very good anymore.

Nelson is becoming a stud, a real playmaker at S.

Iloka looked really good for that 1st preseason game, got named starter before we even went to Atlanta, and will be back for the Bears game with a wrap or cast to protect the hand.

Williams and Miles will be okay backups...just cut Mays ass loose though.

We need a serviceable CAPTAIN in the Secondary...We dont have that in the safety position...Crash, you know how this secondary looked in the 1st 4 games last year...Prepare to see that type of play...Rhodes or Crocker will be here by game 3 or 4 GUARANTEED! You heard it here 1st!

Nelson, Hall, Newman are all good captains for the secondary, and besides that, Burfict is the captain of the defense overall. He seems to be the one calling the plays on defense now, something our MLB should have been doing, and he is constantly talking to guys and getting them in position.

I am not worried one single bit about leadership on defense or offense.

Secondary is a demanding position, you can never have good enough depth there, but it is just the preseason.
