RE: Bengals' 53 roster - bfine32 - 09-06-2015
Are folks still arguing that it was a mistake to keep Peerman and Hunt over the likes of Williams, Watson, and Wilder?
Peerman is an ace special teamer, our only blazing fast RB, and great locker room presence. Hunt is almost there, will he get there? Who knows but I guarantee he has a better chance that Williams. These goes went through waivers unclaimed and will earn a decent living on our PS this year, but they are not as valuable to our roster as Hunt or especially Peerman.
If we need a big back to spell Hill we have Rex.

I would think that Gio is a blazing fast RB and Hill is deceivingly fast...
I just like Wilder and Watson, happy they are on the PS. As i said i believe they both have more upside
cause they are younger and have not shown all they have yet. It probably was the best decision to put
the W's on the PS cause Peerman could not be put there though, i agree with that thought.
I agree on the Hunt/Williams thought as well.

1. Almost is extremely, extremely generous. He looks as lost as he has since 2013. Williams at least is a football player in pads compared to a trackstar pads.
2. You misspelled Gio after you said spell.

Gio is quick, not really a burner. With Peerman I hope we use him more. A couple years ago we did a fake punt or 2 using Peerman; they were very successful. Believe me, I am a big Wilder fan, but he is where he belongs.

1. Nothing wrong with giving him one more year to find out. The UDFA will be fine on the PS
2. I wouldn't consider Gio a big back. He's 5'9" 209; Rex is 5'10" 220

Not what I said, Rex can't spell Hill because he's way closer to Gio and his style, they're both shifty with slot ability. Rex might even be the better overall runner when taking into account of Gio's recent horrid display of vision, but he's not close to what Hill is in size and style of running.

Definately agree on using Peerman more on a fake punt or two and you could be right about all of this.

I think he meant that Rex is not a big back either, he would be spelling Gio not Hill.
The W's are big backs like Hill, 235+ backs = big backs.

Yep.
