Interesting.
Maybe he said something about should have gone to Vandy because their coaches all have hot wives and Sumlin took it personally.

Personally, just think it was more of Sumlin trying to build for the future with Johnny Football and Molena. Michael probably thought Sumlin was limiting him too much and expressed his views.

Christine shoulda went to USC if he was looking for hot wives.

Yeah but you have to be pretty hard to switch to USC right now

I didn't know Rex Burkhead was in this class, I would love him in the later rounds, especially if we don't re-sign Leonard.

[bengals23]

Robbie Rouse. Enough said.

[stknux]

Eddie Lacy
Christine Michael
Knile Davis
Dennis Johnson
Johnathan Franklin

To keep up the white running back quota?

Because he's a good pass catcher out of the backfield and ideal for RBBC. His career YPA is 5.2. His career YPC is 8.4(60 catches, 507 yards, 5 TD). He has 632 carries, 3,332 yards and 30 rushing TDs in 4 seasons he probably would have had more yards and TDs if a sprained knee didn't sideline him for 6 games.

I see my boy Robbie Rouse is a replacement to the Senior Bowl. Maybe the Bengals coaching staff will notice the guy with the best plant and change direction move in the draft.

[Bengalsnati85]

1. Ball
2. Ellington
3. Lacy
4. Bernard
5. Randle

IMO, there's enough value in the mid-rounds with guys like Michael Dyer, Mike Gillislee, Montee Ball, Christine Michael, LeVeon Bell, Johnathon Franklin, Kenyon Barner, Cierre Wood, Lattimore (albeit, on PS for 1-2 years), etc.. to avoid the RB position in the first 3 rounds. Other, obvious needs (S, OL, LB, DE) can be addressed early. The FA process will clear up some of the team needs, but at least 2 of the listed "needs" will still be needs in fact. I'd rather see the Bengals draft two mid-round RB's than burn early picks on any of the top few.

Eddie Lacy is no doubt the guy I want. He is finally healthy and completely undressed a stout ND defense in the title game. I think right now we could take him at 37 but if he has a good combine we will have to use 21. The rest of these RB's are talented but I wouldn't take any of them higher than the 3rd round.

1. Eddie Lacy
2. Montee Ball
3. Kenjon Barner
4. Joseph Randle
5. Jawan Jamison

No doubt, but it probably goes against the quote "He impressed me everytime i watched him play."

[OchoCincos]

Eddie Lacy
Giovani Bernard
Johnathan Franklin
Kenjon Barner
Kerwynn Williams

I can name about 10 RBs in this year's draft class who I like. None of them has really seperated himself from the pack. There isn't one guy I think the Bengals definitely need to draft that guy to upgrade the position. I'll be happy with 1 or 2 of the RBs I like so far, even if it is as late as the 6th round.

Lacy, Bernard, Ellington, Randle, Franklin, Taylor, Bell, Barner, Wood, K. Williams, D. Johnson.

If Lattimore hadn't gotten hurt, he would be the only RB I would have considered in the 1st round. Now, I'd take a flyer no higher than 5th round and I wouldn't expect him to play in 2013.

I think if Bell can run in the mid 4.5s in the 40 at the combine, he can improve his stock probably more than any other RB because I think the biggest question mark with him is his speed.

If he has decent speed, I'd love to see him with the Bengals next year because he is a three down back who can catch and pass protect and that would allow BJGE to do what he does best, short yardage and goal line.
