Love the tyrod taylor pickup and he looks to actually be doing alright surprisingly enough. The offense looked pretty good. It'll be interesting to see who emerges as the premier running back. I would say it looks like Spiller has the edge right now. Great stuff man. Good luck in your next game!

Yeah I think C.J. may end up the guy. The question is now who will be the #2 guy between Jerome Harrison and Bernard Scott.

Tyrod Taylor did good that last game 11-11

Yeah Tyrod looked solid in his first action. I felt very comfortable using him and his scrambling ability really helps when trying to improvise and wait for receivers to come open.

Like the others stated solid game for Taylor, didn't imagine him being a great pro prospect, but playing behind Palmer could help him stock. Michael Floyd is going to be a beast for you for many years. Give this man a few years to develop and he will be your #1 target..guy has all the attributes needed to be a star. I'm excited to see who wins the running back battle..thus far no one is standing out to me, we still have three games though until we need to make a decision. Keep up the great work dude.

What up Proof?

Floyd is really making a strong case for the #3 wide out position. He is making some nice plays and he seems to have very sure hands. He'll be our #2 receiver within a year in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses.

Great to see you on the board man.

yea man your quarterback situation looks great with tyrod as a up and coming player who can back up palmer for now.. hopefully your ground game will play well and that rookie reciever, michael floyd, had a nice game. can't wait to see how this young team does moving forward

Shaun Hill is entrenched as the #2. Tyrod would have to do something very special the rest of the preseason to become the #2.

I could not find undrafted free agents. Are they gone once you advance to the pre-season? If so, I will be a bit more careful next season.

Yeah you basically have to search for them. Just look for rookies in the free agent pool. Unfortunately there is no way to tell if they were truely undrafted though or if they were just not signed.

Gotta get thru this preseason with no major injuries to key players.....especially seeing what happened to the Panther's Williams

Oh man, Shockey will not be happy in Cleveland lol

Floyd is having a really solid preseason and it looks like he may challenge Shaun for the slot receiver position. Good luck in your next game!

I had a feeling he would end up in the AFC North...We've been "lucky" like that.

Floyd is having a really solid preseason and it looks like he may challenge Shaun for the slot receiver position. Good luck in your next game!

Good call on that. He is emerging as a go-to guy. He may eventually become the slot man.

Looks Taylor was unable to live up to his 11 for 11 (obviously) also is he injured for any extent of time or just the game. Good luck in the next one!

It would be tough to live up to that standard again. He didnt look terrible in this game and the one pick wasnt his fault.

He'll be back this next preseason game which I am about to play. He just had a bruised sternum.

Preseason Game 3, Year 3: Cincinnati Bengals at Detroit Lions

Preseason Game 3, Year 3: Cincinnati Bengals at Detroit Lions

Note: The following is a brief summary of the Bengals' August 27, 2011 preseason game at Detroit. Normal full-scale reporting will be reinstituted at the start of the 2011 regular season.​

45 -- 2-1

35 -- 1-2


Summary: The Cincinnati Bengals won a shootout over the host Detroit Lions 45-35 Saturday in both team's third preseason game. Bengals QB Carson Palmer finished the day 13 of 20 for 132 yards and one touchdown & RB C.J. Spiller finished with 93 all-purpose yards and a touchdown reception. However it was the play of rookie 5th round draft pick, FB Anthony Elzy, that stole the show in the second half.

Elzy, drafted 141st overall out of North Carolina, carried the ball 14 times for 113 yards, including a 71-yard burst late in the fourth quarter. The big play set up a 10-yard touchdown pass from QB Tyrod Taylor to Elzy just a few plays later to make the score 38-28 with 5:42 remaining.

"Anthony is really trying to stake a claim for a significant role in this offense," said Bengals head coach Mike Martz.

The Bengals had difficulty stopping the Lions' potent passing attack and allowed them to gain 540 yards of total offense. Lions QB Matthew Stafford finished with 261 passing yards and three touchdowns during the contest. Cincinnati also had a hard time corralling Lions RB Kevin Smith, who finished the day with 96 rushing yards on 16 carries.

"Sure we have some things to clean up on defense and really as well as the offense," said Martz.

"But that is what this time of the year is for. I am not the least bit concerned and think we'll be fine. A lot of those yards came after our starters were removed."

Cincinnati (2-1) will travel to face Atlanta (2-1) in both teams' preseason finale. The Bengals must pare their roster down from 53 to 47 players after their game against the Falcons.

Is Tyrod Taylor making a big step towards that #2 spot or what?

 

[Deegeezy]

this is looking really good, by far the best chise running on VSN..keep it up!

Thanks man...I really appreciate it.

Is Tyrod Taylor making a big step towards that #2 spot or what?

He's trying to make some noise. We're going to probably go with Hill though but you best believe that if Carson ever goes down (knocks on wood), Taylor will see some snaps.

The emergence of Elzy could spell trouble for one of those RB's making the team. Looks like Bernard Scott could be the odd man out. He has had a rough summer.

Wow, you read my mind on this one. Someone is going to be the victim of the numbers game. Between RB, FB, WR, and TE, I can keep 12 guys. It's going to be a matter of how many I want to keep at each spot. Last year I did 3 RBs, 1 FB, 5 WRs, 3 TEs. It is going to be a tough call on who to cut.

We got one more night of auditions to figure it out.

 

[cheese2121]

I'll be very interested to see who makes the cut. It looks like Elzy will be on the final roster. He is too versatile not to be. If you need to make roster requirements you could even consider moving him to tailback. I did that with Jonathan Dwyer in my franchise and have never regretted it. I figure too if my fullback ever goes down I can just move him back. Nice win over Detroit. Good luck in your last preseason game!

Bengals | Scott to return kicks tonight
Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:42:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Cincinnati Bengals RB Bernard Scott (75) will return kicks during the team's final preseason game tonight at Atlanta. Scott is believed to be on the bubble and the move may indicate that the Bengals' coaching staff wants to see if he is capable of filling another role with the team. Cincinnati must cut their roster down from 53 to 47 after their game with the Falcons.

Preseason Game 4, Year 3: Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons

Preseason Game 4, Year 3: Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons

Note: The following is a brief summary of the Bengals' September 3, 2011 preseason game at Atlanta. Normal full-scale reporting will be reinstituted at the start of the 2011 regular season.​

16 -- 2-2

23 -- 3-1


Summary: Cincinnati lost a hard-fought contest with the Atlanta Falcons 23-16 Saturday night at the Georgia Dome in their preseason finale. With the game tied at 16-16 Bengals rookie QB Tyrod Taylor's interception thrown to Falcons S William Moore resulted in a 70-yard touchdown that gave Atlanta their winning margin with under five minutes to play.

Taylor would get one last chance to lead his team on a potential game-tying or game-winning drive but the team turned it over on downs once it reached the Falcons side of the field with under a minute to play. Taylor finished the game 12 of 23 for a preseason-high 180 yards.

Bengals WR Jacoby Ford had a strong performance as he makes his case to be on the team's final roster. The second year man out of Clemson caught 8 receptions for 136 yards on the day. RB Bernard Scott also had a solid day, gaining 57 yards on the ground along with a touchdown. He also contributed 90 kick return yards during the contest with an average return of 22.5 yards and a long of 25.

Cincinnati rested most of their starters and they will need to be well-rested for next week's regular season opener at home against Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The game pits the Bengals against a Steelers team that defeated them 52-17 in last year's regular season finale.

Cincinnati finishes the 2011 preseason with a 2-2 record. They still have unfinished business to tend to however as they must cut their roster down from 53 to 47 players by noon tomorrow.

Rough...Ryan out with a Dislocated Ankle.

Not a bad schedule this year though, at least on paper. NFC West should be good for 3 wins, I would think.

Jets | RB Washington a surprise cut
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 12:42:49 -0700
ESPN's Adam Shefter reports that the New York Jets have released RB Leon Washington (82) from the team. Washington, who has been a major disappointment since signing a lucrative contract extension just prior to the 2009 season, was beat out by rookie first round draft pick Quentin Castille (81) and free agent signee Tashard Choice (81) as well as veteran RB Shonn Green (81) for a roster spot. Washington immediately becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Seahawks | LT Jones a surprise cut
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 12:42:49 -0700
ESPN's Adam Shefter reports that the Seattle Seahawks have released veteran future Hall of Fame LT Walter Jones (94) from the team. The team is believed to be satisfied with LT Sean Locklear's (77) progress and has signed RT Levi Jones (81) to man the right tackle position. Walter Jones immediately becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Bengals | CB Trent released
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 12:42:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have released CB Morgan Trent (65) from the team. Trent spent the 2009 season with the Bengals and was cut during training camp in 2010 before being brought back for the 2011 preseason.

Bengals | OLB Costanzo released
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 12:42:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have released reserve OLB Blake Costanzo (61) from the team. Costanzo, primarily a special teams player, spent the 2010 season on the Bengals roster as a reserve. Costanzo was beat out by rookie fourth round draft pick LB Scott Lutrus (65) and veteran LB Pisa Tinoisamoa (75) for the team's reserve linebacker spots.

Bengals | MLB Dent released
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 12:42:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have released rookie 7th round draft choice Akeem Dent (57) from the team. Dent, picked 200th overall in April's draft, failed to make any impact during the preseason and was beat out by fellow rookie LB Scott Lutrus (65) and veteran LB Pisa Tinoisamoa (75) for the team's reserve linebacker spots.

Bengals | Two cuts remain
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 12:42:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have until noon (et) today to make two more cuts to bring their roster down to the 47 man (+1 emergency QB) regular season maximum.

Bengals | WR Furrey released
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 01:34:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have released veteran WR Mike Furrey (64). Furrey, 34, was beat about by second year WR Jacoby Ford (60) for a roster spot during the preseason. "This was probably the toughest cut we had to make because Mike is just one of those players that shows up every day and is realiable," said Bengals head coach Mike Martz. "He'd never wow you with his speed or athletic ability, but he is just a very sound player. He will be on our speed dial all year long." Ford (91 speed) caught 11 receptions for 184 yards during the preseason. Furrey had 8 receptions for 105 yards in the preseason but had several key drops during his limited action.

Bengals | TE Manumaleuna released
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 01:34:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have released veteran TE Brandon Manumaleuna (67). Manumaleuna, going into his 11th season, lost his job as the #2 tight end to second year TE Ryan Moya (62). The 6-2 288 pound blocking specialist was likely made expendable once the team drafted a second fullback, fifth round draft pick Anthony Elzy (76). Moya (85 speed) has displayed tremendous pass-catching ability each of the past two preseasons and the team is anxious to get him onto the field in the regular season.


___________________________



Bengals | Taylor named emergency QB
Sun, 4 Sep 2011 01:34:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have named rookie 6th round draft pick QB Tyrod Taylor (52) their third-string, emergency quarterback. By NFL rule, Taylor is exempt from the 47 man active roster and should he enter the game, the Bengals are not permitted to have another player take a snap from center for the remainder of that particular contest.

Just catching up DGZ. Been pretty busy as of late. I really like the way Taylor and Elzy played in the pre-season. I think its the right move to keep Taylor at #3 for now though. Depending on his potential rating he may progress nicely. Right now though, his 52 ovr keeps him as the emergency quarterback.

Looking forward to the regular season and the Bengals getting into the playoffs!

 

[cheese2121]

I definitely think you made all the right cuts. It was sad to see so many veterans fall victim though. I think Moya could be a bit of a sleeper in your offense. I expect big things out of him. Good luck against the steelers. It's a really tough way to open the season but it'll be a huge victory if you can pull off the win. Good luck!

Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Bengals Ryon Bingham (70) has won his position battle with DE Dwan Edwards (71) and DE Justin Bannan (68) and will be the team's starter at left defensive end.

Wed, 7 Sep 2011 10:07:49 -0700

Bengals | Scott wins KR job
Wed, 7 Sep 2011 10:07:49 -0700
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Bengals RB Bernard Scott (78 RET rating) will serve as the team's kick returner to start the season. Scott became a late candidate for the job and had a decent 22.5 yard kick return average during the preseason. Scott beat out WR Jacoby Ford (99 RET rating), FB Anthony Elzy (98 RET rating) and CB Javier Arenas (99 RET rating) for the job.

Wed, 7 Sep 2011 10:07:49 -0700

Ford beat out CB Javier Arenas (99 RET rating) and RB C.J. Spiller (99 RET rating) for the position despite a very pedestrian 7.2 yard punt return average.

give the Steelers hell

I hope so...They've had our number throughout this chise and have put up 50-burgers on us the past two years at home.

Rough...Ryan out with a Dislocated Ankle.

Not a bad schedule this year though, at least on paper. NFC West should be good for 3 wins, I would think.

Yeah our key is to stay healthy. I think this team looks extremely good on paper. Our window of opportunity is starting to crack open.

Goodluck against Pittsburgh, nice job on the pre-season, gets me excited to do the same. Haha keep this up man

Thanks man. I debated doing preseason in this chise but in the end decided that there were ways for me to make it fun for myself and for the readers.

Looking very good, as usual DGZ! Good luck this season.

Thanks alot man...Glad to see you check into the thread.

Wow, Scott made the team. I guess his last game was enough to have you keep him around.

At TE, it is much easier to type Moya than it is Manumaleuna....I am kidding, of course.

Good luck against the Steelers!

Yeah it was a tough call between Scott and Manumaleuna. In the end though I decided that I was ready to get Moya on the field and I didn't need to keep 3 tight ends in this style of offense. I also think Scott could be an asset down the road in the case of injury. He'll return kicks though just so he isn't rotting on the bench and wasting a roster spot.

Just catching up DGZ. Been pretty busy as of late. I really like the way Taylor and Elzy played in the pre-season. I think its the right move to keep Taylor at #3 for now though. Depending on his potential rating he may progress nicely. Right now though, his 52 ovr keeps him as the emergency quarterback.

Looking forward to the regular season and the Bengals getting into the playoffs!

Tyrod's potential rating is a D. If I can get him into the mid 60s though, he could be a decent back-up/special play type QB in a year or two. He's my proverbial project-QB.

I definitely think you made all the right cuts. It was sad to see so many veterans fall victim though. I think Moya could be a bit of a sleeper in your offense. I expect big things out of him. Good luck against the steelers. It's a really tough way to open the season but it'll be a huge victory if you can pull off the win. Good luck!

Thanks man. A win against the Steelers is long overdue. We have to play smart and not beat ourselves. I expect a tough, defensive, physical match-up in this one. We cannot get one-dimensional.

Catching up, love the chise. Bengals are a fun team, plus I like the draft picks. I can't believe the Jets cut Leon. I guess they got fed up with his selfish ways. But their three headed monster sounds pretty bad ass. Good luck with the season. I will be following.

Thanks for the reply man...That was definitely a shocker on both Leon and Walter Jones. I didn't think the CPU made moves like that in the preseason.
