ANNNND..there goes our only LB worth a shit, and the only guy that is capable of covering a TE.

 

[Be Weary of Query]

Muckelroy is back but doesn't play WLB.

New starter...Dan Skuta with Vincent Rey subbing on 3rd down.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

Hobspin drives me crazy...

this is what he used in that same story to describe Vincent Rey...

At 6-2, 250, he's small but fast and came up with nine special teams tackles last season.

In what f'n world is 6'2" 250 pounds SMALL!!!

They resigned Muckleroy to take his place on the roster, and Skuta will play 1st and 2nd down at WILL, while Vincent Rey takes 3rd down.

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

 

[DanBengalfan]

again. Bengals neglect depth. they begin each season with a reasonably good starting set with nothing to back them up with. Then when injuries happen they are like :O whaaaaaaat?

It's football, they are going to get injured, plan for it.

 

[DanBengalfan]

get prepared for blackouts.

 

[cincygrad]

Yep, our best linebacker gone for the season....

Whenever we get to design the tombstone for Marv's career (probably never, but one can dream), his cause of death is going to be listed as 'failure to ever develop an even decent linebacker or safety.' Is it really this hard?

No, it's not that hard. We're just that bad.

 

[It's me bcd]

Stabbed by God.

 

[NCBengal]

If he was our best LB, then we are seriously fucked. He sucked that last game along with Lawson and Rey.

 

[Tubbs1518]

He was bad last game yes, but he was a damn good LBer last year.

 

[flamingrey]

Burfict could replace him. He even told reporters as much.

Could Burfict replace Howard for Bengals? - AFC North Blog - ESPN

Howard was by far and away our best LBer...and the only one with a punchers chance to cover a TE. Burfict tweeted that he's starting this week. I hope they're putting him in the middle for Rey...but I gotta feeling they'll be playing him at WIL. Is this setting the guy up for failure?

Isn't Rey M already destined to fail?

I'd imagine they slide Rey over considering he has experience at WIL. A

 

[cincygrad]

Rey played strong side the first year he was here. Rivers was WIL.

 

[flamingrey]

Oops.

 

[kramer1]

Remember when I said Rivers was a bum and Jwill got mad? Good times.

Not really suprising. You think every Bengal that takes the field is 'terrible' or a bum and JWILL thinks (insert firnge player to be cut) is a potential probowler. Pretty predictable, actually

That pretty much sums it up!
