Why not? It may be his only chance not to be cut.

Leave it to moron Marvin not to realize Driskel was a WR! Do you think ZT can make him into a nightmare for opposing DCs?

One of my biggest complaints about last year was. When Andy went down we never tried to tailor the game plan to Driskel's skills. We just called the game like Andy was QB

This has Mike Brown's fingerprints all over it...

Perhaps that is why ZT traded up to get RC Cola Dalton in the 4th.

I seem to be the only one who actually remembers it, but the Bengals had both Dalton and Driskel on the field at the same time last year on a few occasions.

I think they traded up for Finley so they can have a backup QB with at least SOME touch on his passes - Driskel has none.
RE: Can he catch the ball? - jason - 08-13-2019
If he can play ST too, then I'm all for it. They can cut Core, and carry 3 QB. I suppose it opens up some gadget plays as well.
RE: Can he catch the ball? - Socal Bengals fan - 08-14-2019
I thought we were talking about Ross .
RE: Can he catch the ball? - Go Cards - 08-14-2019
Like the move and believe they were tinkering with it a few years back and Driskell was hurt in practice playing WR.
Dude is athletic.
RE: Can he catch the ball? - GreenCornBengal - 08-14-2019
I posted about this happening in the 'which WR is gonna step up' thread.
He has the ability... the next Matt Jones!!!
RE: Can he catch the ball? - Bengalitis - 08-14-2019
So this definitely means ROSS will be playing QB now.
RE: Can he catch the ball? - bengalfan74 - 08-14-2019
He has the size good speed and he's an athlete, I wouldn't say it's impossible. If he can help the team I;m all for it.

You are exactly right....he broke his arm coming down with a catch.

He's gotta pass the Matt Jones physical first.
Better go see Dr. Rockso.

It gives roster flexibility and opens up some gadget plays, plus it's a copy cat league and Hill down in NO has teams looking for their own version.

Wasn't it Washington what's his face WR threw a TD against early in a game few years back ? They won't run a flea flicker in preseason though.
