Ocho Cinco In B&G

killromo · 02-14-2008, 10:03 AM

Does anyone on here honestly think our first year head coach can come to our pressure cooker of a team, coach the team, help JC's progression AND deal with high maintenace chad johnson. The poor guy would most certainly be set up for failure. I like CJ, but he wouldn't be right for our team, wouldn't put up the numbers he's used to and become frustrated. We have too many chiefs, not enough indians. Javon walker is a more feasible candidate anyway. I feel for Zorn, i hope he has the biggest bottle of aspirin in the world to put up with danny's bullshit.

Since when does Marvin Lewis call the shots for the Bengals?

ksmitty7723 · 02-14-2008, 11:07 AM

And further more, not one of their front office people have said a word about not trading Johnson.

after reading this, it seems Lewis is trying to reach out to CJ through the media. I take this as he wants to mend fences w/CJ & bring him back to camp w/out any animosity lingering.

The thing to watch is whether he's successful or not. CJ might continue to act up, talk to the press, or refuse to show up in camp.

At this point, I'll have to partially concur w/sandtrap et al, don't see a trade happening before the draft, but don't be surprised if he's on the trading block during camp or early in the season.

I know this was mentioned earlier and I apologize if I'm repeating this, but isn't it considered tampering to discuss a player that is under contract w/ another team.

Just going by memory from a few days ago on the John Riggins show Zorn, when asked if he would like for CJ to play for the skins in 2008 he said he would love to have him. At the time, i was wondering why he'd be talking about a player under contract.

I don't know if this is over yet though. $ talks. Is this tampering though?

Thank god Marvin Lewis has the insight to let us not hurt ourselves.

Paintrain · 02-14-2008, 12:33 PM

I'm disappointed, I wanted Ocho to come here, but as long as we address the position thru free agency or a trade (Roy Williams) I'll be happy..

This is an interesting take from ESPN. I think that the MOOSE would be a great veteran pick-up and he's a tall guy who's awesome in my book. He would be way cheaper than Chad anway. Think the Bears passing attack sucked and he could play a big part in our Superbowl run this year.

You know if a WR is a top priority of Snyder and the team, why have we not heard Bernard Berrians name mentioned as a possible candidate to don the burgundy and gold?

The guy is an UFA and Chicago is going to let him walk.

Won't cost any draft picks and won't need to trade. Just sign the guy on March 1st.

And in moments Matty will cite to all his past references about Berrian.

Bite your tongue! Contrary to popular belief, Matty and I are not the same person

but admittedly, I have some "reservations" here:

As of today, I'm not sure. I was impressed with Caldwell down the stretch and had things stayed the same (Gibbs returned) then I would have probably leaned toward keeping Caldwell here. Now? I don't know that either Caldwell or Berrian are high on my list.

I knew it was one of you mods suggesting it -I just figured it was the smart one.

Oooops. my bad.
