No way we were going to re-sign him after drafting Still and Thompson. Could be a big mistake, but his fate was sealed last April.

What genius draft selections those were. Wasted 2nd and 3rd round picks.

Way too early to judge those picks. They weren't going to break in to this dline as rookies.

I would have rather had Sims instead of Geathers. We could have moved Still to DE kept Sims while improving our run defense. A really dumb move.

Oh, and since this is a Free Agent related topic I wonder how long it take Tubbs, little bitch ass self, to cry about cluttering up the board and having your post moved?

Agree absolutely. The Geathers thing was a typical Mike Brown loyalty move, and the better player (Sims) was the loser. The run defense always instantly improved when Sims was a factor.

It directly affects the Bengals so it can be posted out here. However the rest will continue to be moved.

Agreed that Sims>Geathers, but you can't just say, let's move Still to DE. He's not a 4-3 DE.

Sims plays about 1/5 of the amount of plays that Geathers does in any given season. The guy can stop the run, but he's also injury prone and completely one-dimensional. Geathers has WAY more value to the defense.

I disagree. Geathers' production is much less than it should be considering how much he plays. Sims' production is very high on a per play basis. When he's on the field the run defense gives up about a yard less per carry. Believe what you want, we're really going to miss him.

I'll miss that fat bastard.

We're gonna miss Andre more when he leaves.
