SAFETY (PICK 3)


TOMMY CASANOVA

3 time Pro Bowl
17 INTs in 6 year Bengal Career

BOBBY KEMP

69 starts in 7 year Bengal Career
10 INTs as a Bengal

DAVID FULCHER

3 time Pro Bowl/ 1 Time All-Pro
31 INTs in 7 year Bengal Career

BARNEY BUSSEY

104 games played in 7 year Bengal Career
10 INTs, 11.5 sacks as a Bengal

DARRYL WILLIAMS

11 INTs in 6 year Bengal Career (2 stints)
528 tackles, 9.5 sacks in stripes

KEVIN KAESVIHARN

15 INTs in 5 year Bengal Career
363 tackles, 6 sacks

REGGIE NELSON

15 INTs in 5 year Bengal Career
384 tackles, 7 forced fumbles

I went with Casanova and Fultcher! How good would that 70s defense be if we could have kept that group around for more than a couple seasons.

why 3?

No real logic to it. Have to pick just one TE, one RB ...but three safeties?

I can guarantee there are a lot more two TE sets than three safety defenses.

Kaesviharn  on the list? Really?

I'd take guys like Solomon Wilcots, Robert Jackson, Fernandus Vinson, Cory Hall, Sam Shade, Bracey Walker, Madieu Williams, and Chris Crocker before Kaesviharn.

And Bussey was never even a starter. Kaesviharn started what - one season?

Who makes this list?

Because (unlike TE) there really is 2 hands down favorites. We are also going to award 2nd team. I feared if I went pick 2 then only the 2 favorites would get the votes. The 3rd pick allows some diversity.

Why don't you stop whining and either vote or do not vote. The OP is doing something that many feel is fun for the boards. There seems to be only one person that is freaking whining about it and guess who that is? If you do not like the poll then do not participate it is as simple as that. If you wish to conduct your own poll then you are absolutely free to do so now aren't you?

Some folks just look for something to complain about and it appears you have selected who should be #6/7 on this list. I will say it is better than when you complained about the spelling earlier.

Solomon Wilcots was here for only 4 years and had 2 INTs and 1 sack.

Sam Shade had 4 INTs and 5 sacks in 4 years here.

Kevin K. had 6 sacks, 15 INTs in 6 years in stripes. Bussey was a Bengal for 7 years with 69 starts, 10 INTs, and 11.5 sacks. But you would have Wilcots and Shade on the list instead of them because…

Fulcher is no doubt the best safety to ever put on a Bengals uniform. After Fulcher I would have to give my nod to Williams and Nelson whom I think both were/are very versatile safeties that could play coverage and in the box. They were/are both safeties that allows your defense different looks. Both very good tacklers and physical.

He is not worth your time bfine.

Fernandus Vinson started 15 games for the Bengals while Kaesviharn started 44; yet he would take Vinson over Kevin because Kevin didn't start enough.

Reggie would have been my #3 from this group, though Barney B. and Keven K. would have been close and locked for 4th.

Fulcher and Cassanova were easy picks. The 3rd spot was a little harder. Williams and Nelson were both deserving, but I gave Bussey some love. He was a valuable guy to have on the roster, as both a dependable backup and an occasional starter.

Fulcher would take Kam Chancellor's lunch money

My thoughts as well, but I went ahead and gave Reggie the gig.....

Fulcher played in the 80s?



.....but yeah, had they played together.....wow. What a duo that would have been!

Fulcher and Casanova are the obvious choices, but Fulcher would probably be a LB if he was playing today.

I think he's talking about all those guys in the 70s.

Traded away Bill Bergey, traded away Lemarr Parrish, traded away Coy Bacon, Tommy Casanova retired after a few years to become a doctor, Mike Reid retired early to go into country music... It's kind of s shame
