February 28, 201313 yr Zimmer wanting Rey Rey back got me thinking about this again and I see a pattern. When it comes to scouting/players signed I think the Bengals are weak in their knowledge/scouting of LB and Safety. I think the Bengals do a good job with the DL and at CB. Agree? Disagree?

When it comes to scouting/players signed I think the Bengals are weak in their knowledge/scouting of LB and Safety. I think the Bengals do a good job with the DL and at CB. Agree? Disagree? I think there are alot of people who seem to like Rey M. I didn't watch him much so I'm not sure what to make of him. The Bengals gotta spend some money somewhere though. Might as well bring him back.
February 28, 201313 yr Author The point of this thread is to examine how good the Bengals are at picking players that play LB and S???

February 28, 201313 yr I think we need to quit drafting players from USC seems they all end up being busts Rivers, Rey, Mays and Palmer.
February 28, 201313 yr Last I checked the Bengals' scouting department consisted of Mike Brown, a few family members, a few personal friends and whoever is sitting on his couch watching college football on Saturdays.

February 28, 201313 yr In fairness their recent draft classes have received high grades. Receiving high grade, and making the grade is two different things.
February 28, 201313 yr The point of this thread is to examine how good the Bengals are at picking players that play LB and S??? Hard to say because a few of the biggest names at LB careers ended from no fault of the Bengals. Pollack career ending injury, Rivers injury was never the same, and Odel Thurman drug problem. I disliked Rey rey for at least the first half of the season, but the 2nd half or maybe last 4th he actually played much better and seemed to lose weight and gain speed by the end. I still think we need another answer at starter but I wouldn't mind him for depth.

Rivers started some for the Giants this year and I still don't believe what we had at LB was better than Rivers. What about Manny Lawson, George Iloka, Robert Sands, Roddrick Muckelroy, Corey Lynch, Angelo Craig, Marvin White, Chinedum Ndukwe, Tony Dye, Jerome Miles, Dontay Moch, Taylor Mays, Vincent Ray, JK Schaffer, and Dan Skuta? What have any of those guys done for the Bengals?
March 1, 201313 yr Linebackers and Safeties the Bengals have drafted. James Francis LB Alfred Williams LB Joe Kelly LB Spikes LB Simmions LB Rivers and Rey LB Landon Johnson LB Caleb Miller LB Daryl Williams S Madieu Williams S Fulcher S Bussey S Dixon S
March 1, 201313 yr It would be pretty cool if they draft Collionsworth and Simpson in a couple years.
