Seriously, if we're going to keep selecting this all-time team, can we get someone to start the threads who actually knows the players' names? Or someone who can spell them correctly. It's starting to get ridiculous.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - J24 - 06-13-2015

Went with Atkins and Reid!

Alright. Hold up just a second. I'm totally miffed that you excluded my dude, Gary Burley.

[Image: Gary_Burley.jpg]

8 year Bengals career; 
68 starts
324 total tackles
31.5 sacks
and a hand full of forced fumbles.

Any list without Burley is not a good list. And it's not just because he's the #1 reason i'm a Bengals fan.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - Bengalzona - 06-13-2015

I chose Krumrie and Atkins. But leaving off Reid was difficult.

Yep. And what the hell is Thornton doing on the list?

 I picked Krumrie by a nose. 

If I could read, I would have picked both noses.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - Joe Pong - 06-13-2015

Mike Reid is the no-brainer.

The second spot is between Krumrie and Atkins. Geno has to show he can come back and string together a few strong seasons to surpass Krumrie.

Well, I mean, Geno just has to get 3 sacks this season to surpass him. But Krumrie was a tackling machine.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - Shake n Blake - 06-13-2015

Tim Krumrie is an obvious choice for obvious reasons. Geno Atkins has 32 sacks after only 5 seasons and is a once per decade type of DT. So, imo Atkins is an obvious choice as well.

That said, I had to give one of my picks to Dan Wilkinson simply because the dude gets zero love and is another very underrated talent from the 90's. His #99 jersey was the first Bengals gear I ever owned.

I think what makes it more impressive is that he had a torn ACL and came back from it, played hurt, yet still has those numbers and shows dominance.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - bfine32 - 06-13-2015

I've got to go Krumrie and Reid. As of today he and Geno both have a 5 year Bengal Career. Reid was just more dynamic. 44 sacks over a 4 year stretch and he battled injury during one of them. If Geno is truly back to Geno he might supplant him this year; but as pf today I gotta go with Reid.

Maybe. But Atkins is gonna win because most of the voters are young.

I wonder if Atkins will ever "be back" without Zimmer coaching the D.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - bengalfan74 - 06-13-2015

I had to go Krumrie and Reid. Big Daddy is right there with them in a very close 3rd. Geno comes anywhere close to old form this season and he'll edge out Reid.

I honestly did not think that was the issue last year. I think him getting a full offseason in should help & getting snaps in preseason should do wonders. I think that was his biggest issue last season is that it took him a while to get in shape.

Mike Reid had 44 sacks in 4 years. If Geno is once in a decade, then Reid is once in a half century because no other DT has done anything like that in the nearly 50 years the bengals have existed.


RE: Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (DT) - Shake n Blake - 06-13-2015

The only way to properly compare Atkins and Reid would be to compare them to their peers.

Does anyone have a link for the unofficial* sack leaders from 1970-74?

Until then, maybe people shouldn't be so snide. Older doesn't always = better, and everyone's opinion is valid when it comes to something so subjective.

You may be right, and I hope you are.

I just have a sneaking suspicion, though.
