Bengals 2013 RB's - what would you think about this?

[GreenDragon]

42 Benjarvus Green-Ellis
44 Ahmad Bradshaw
22 Chris Rainey

[ginger phoenix]

I would much rather draft one personally. You know what you are getting with those three, and they're good, but someone from this draft could turn out to be a superstar.

[eoxyod]

I guess wr could do that if we really want an overpaid and ineffective run game.

[hacker]

Bradsha was making 3.5 mil; I doubt he comes here for cheap. Raine has done nothing. Let's draft Lacy and later on Robbie Rouse or Bernard and another little speedster. I want fresh new legs added to this roster.

[Stewee28]

Uhhhhhh, NO!

That would give us one extremely slow runner who can only run between the tackles and never break a homerun off

One who would never be in pads and on the sideline on crutches because he cant stay healthy

And one who would be behind bars because he likes to hit women

[GreenDragon]

Rainey's charges have been dropped. He'll probably still be suspended by goOdell.

[Bull Durham]

Bring in a guy with chronic foot problems who keeps having bigger and bigger screws in his foot and keeps re-breaking it in multiple places, and some guy who is a headcase and has never been a very good football player to begin with?

Yeah, sounds great.

If rather crush my nads in a vice than see that backfield.

What does marriage have to do with this conversation?











Just kidding, honey.

Thats sounds like a horrible idea...

[wcu]

I can't say I'd be happy with that at all.

[Rattler]

I'd rather keep Peerman than sign Bradshaw.

Sign or draft a RB with speed to burn.

No thank you. Would rather use the draft for the running game.

I like the bottom two, my pick would be Marcus Lattimore for the top spot.

[phil413]

I'm one of the few that doesn't hate that with a passion. Ideally, you want to get a younger quick back high in the draft to complement Lawfirm. That doesn't mean though that its an absolute. If there are more holes than we think when the dust settles then don't be shocked if Cincy signs a solid vet back to give them options so they aren't forced to reach for a back high. Bradshaw isn't a great RB, but he did have 1000 yards and 4.6yd/carry and 10 yd/catch and is only 26. Not ideal but you improve the roster however you can.

The real question would be, would we know how to use the guys. We seem to never use our guys like they should be used.....I think it would be close between Bradshaw & Green Ellis starting. We shouldn't use Green Ellis on a screen passes, that would be Bradshaw or Raineys job if this scenario happened.

[ExtraNirvana]

That sounds like a rb corp a fan would string together.

Eh I might take Rainey as a third guy with that break away speed and pass catching ability, but I'd probably prefer drafting a #1 rather than signing Bradshaw, not that he's bad though...

One small issue with that is it is a very realistic scenario that any team selecting Lattimore could be looking at IRing him for his rookie campaign to make sure he is 100%. As well, IMO Lattimore did not show the burst last season that he showed prior to the first knee injury which makes me wonder if he had even gotten back to 100% from it.

While Michael suffered a couple of injuries at A&M he was able to show last season that he was 100% and had no lingering effects of the injuries.

[BengalRugby]

Don't like it.


Which means Mike Brown is likely considering it...

[Ben zoo 2]

I'd be ok with bringing Rainey in for a look, but Bradshaw can't stay healthy. Draft a rb in the second or third.

I like this if we are going with just draft RBs to add, but I also wouldn't mind...

Chris Ivory
Benjarvus Green-Ellis
Christine Michael

That is probably a fan line up too. I doubt the Bengals would trade a pick for Chris Ivory.

I'm just hoping we can finally get someone who can catch a screen pass/outlet pass and then goooooooo!! Watch the first play of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VegZv616Yxw

Michael is a hard runner who can make moves and good field vision.

That's one of the things I like the least about BJGE. His vision is questionable when in the open field and any kind of great elusiveness. Which is okay because he should be the 3rd down back. Just put him in to get those yards you need. Not expect homeruns from him.

[Kaptkurt]

Bring in Reggie Bush. High draft picks that haven't lived up to expectations seem to thrive in Cincy.

[Ron Mexico]

Ugh. That's an ugly backfield. Much more pricey than what it's worth as well.
