The Hawkins brothers

[kramer1]

A couple of class acts amidst the cesspool that is the Bengals organization. Andrew can play some ball. He needs more snaps.

Morning Bengal Nation!

I don't think the #2,3 wide receiver spots are set in stone, now that shipley is injured. They are his for the taking. I suppose he needs to learn more plays or something like that.

I thought he brought a nice dynamic to the field as a slot receiver. Anything that takes away from Andre Caldwell's playing time is a good thing. Why that bum is still employed is beyond me.

 

[vancelot23]

Yeah, Caldwell sucks.

I can't imagine why Hawkins didn't earn more snaps....oh wait, Marvin Lewis....never mind......

 

[vancelot23]

Marvin strikes again.

They can't play unless they have been on this team at least 2 years, or is a 1st round pick, you guys know that.

There is a good story on Andrew Hawkins, the jobs he held after the University of Toledo, and how he got here on Bengals.com Here is the link

Windmills and wide receivers

good read. Hard not to root for a story like that.

After last weeks game, I would definitely like to see him get more snaps on offense. He was fast and pretty elusive.

Agreed. He looked pretty elusive in the preseason also, but hard to judge against the talent that was in at the time.

Artrell is one of my all time favorites. Andrew probably will be right up there with him in a few years time. The kid is gonna stick here for a while. Screw Tate. Let Hawkins return the kicks.

Artrell "toast" Hawkins was one of your all-time favorite Bengals?

Him and Rod Jones were always known as "toast".

hawkins did get toasted a lot, but he had his moments.

WHO DEY!!!!!!.........

Atrell should have been moved to Strong Safety. He could hit like a truck, but had trouble covering 1-1 even with all his speed. Safety would have been a natural for him to chase down guys while playing like a 4th LB. Also, with his speed, he could have played a nice centerfield in zone coverage without having to worry about matching up 1-1. Why it was never done is beyond me.

With Shipley out, the hole is wide open for anyone to step up and show they can be a reliable target. Hawkins may be a small dude, but he can find those holes in the zone coverages behind the LB's and make those catches all day long he'll stick around.

As much as everyone bangs on tate, he already has the same number of 10+ yard punt returns this year as Cosby had ALL of last year. He does some dumb stuff, but his production has been better than Cosby's.

It would be nice to see if he can play. From reading the article I wonder if he is made of glass though. Lots of injuries.

I wonder if he's fast enough to be a deep threat?
