Play Kirkpatrick every snap next week

[bengals85]

The good news about not playing for anything other than pride is we'll get to see some of the young guys in much larger roles. Guys like Herron, still, Peerman, and Kirkpatrick. Dre needs to play about every snap in my book. You can rotate everyone else in, but we need to see what this guy will bring.

[momadance02]

Yeah, especially if he's still not ready to come back!!!!

[bengals85]

He better be ready

[SaintPatrickJR]

I really hope he is. I would love to see him guard a physical receiver like Boldin.

[CincIndy]

Would definitely like to see what he can do in a game like we have next week. Especially considering he has been about as durable as Andre his first 2 seasons..

[TGISunday]

Still, Thompson, Charles, Collins. Peerman.

[crazyjdawg]

We'd be lucky to get anything out of Kirk next year.

I agree with everyone except Peerman, he's been a little banged up. Would really like to see him 100% in the playoffs. Would mind seeing Kirkpatrick left on an island all game just to see what we have.

[THE PISTONS]

Kirkpatrick would probably get hurt...

[Nately120]

Play him every flippin' snap so he can be hurt and get burned and we can move on with our lives.

[Ron Mexico]

What if he still isn't ready to play? Should the Bengals still play him every snap?

[TheCincinnatiKid]

If he's ready put him out there as the starter. But you have to take account of injuries too, dont ruin the guy out there either.

[804 fan]

I leave in Atlanta Ga so Im forced to see majority of sec games. I wanted the draft selection of Kirkpatrick before the draft because I seen him play unlike the ppl that constantly put him down. He will show what he is about when he gets on the field. People on here complained about Andre as well but I see he shut out Woodley yesterday.

Right up there with dumbest things I've seen on here.

Sounds like you're the one who is hurt...

He's shown nothing so far. Why should we expect anything?

Expecting anything from Dre Kirkpatrick is the equivalent of expecting anything from Brandon Thompson.

I hope you were being sarcastic with this...because it's not like people have ever come off the bench to be productive, right?

Early indications suggest Janoris Jenkins may have been the wiser choice.

Not being a smart *** but it's "Jenkins".

Cannot believe you don't know who Jenoris Jackson is.

Oh, that guy...LOL

[BengalB]

Or, he might me like incredibly talented and they're keeping him fresh for the post-season.
That's me being positive.

When people come off the bench and produce it's great.

But EXPECTING them to is foolish.

Dre's played 42 defensive snaps all year.

Even if he was healthy next year, he'd be a rookie.

I think it was a given Jenkins was the better man cover guy and was a more polished player going into the draft. He had a lot of baggage, and would have been too big of a risk in the 1st round. Talent wise it was a consensus that he was a top 10 player though. Zimmer liked Dr for a reason I think he needs some time to work into the system, but has the potential to be a solid starter.
