Jordan Franks - Chezaugie - 10-29-2018
Maybe my new favorite Bengal.
"Jordan Franks, who had a 32-yard reception on the Bengals' scoring drive, was signed off the practice squad on Tuesday. The tight end position was hit hard by injuries to Tyler Eifert, Tyler Kroft and Mason Schreck. Franks is Eifert's roommate and the team raved about him this week. Marvin Lewis said Franks is usually the first one in the building and the last one to leave."
RE: Jordan Franks - impactplaya - 10-29-2018
he should have had more than one target yesterday.
catches a 32 yd wheel route and smoked the OLB
and we never hear from him again.
really??
RE: Jordan Franks - Go Cards - 10-29-2018
We certainly can use the help.
RE: Jordan Franks - bengalfan74 - 10-29-2018
Hopefully he's part of the answer going forward. We've got to get this offense out of 1st gear in the 2nd half !

I was thinking the EXACT same thing!
I started wondering if he was injured.

RE: Jordan Franks - Truck_1_0_1_ - 10-29-2018
New plan for 2019:
TE1: Eifert
TE2: Ceej
TE3: Schreck
TE4: Franks
An interesting tidbit is that they are: 1 Independent, 1 SEC, 1 MAC and 1 ACC; that's a whole bunch of different backgrounds and all that jazz.
RE: Jordan Franks - Wyche'sWarrior - 10-29-2018
Made a nice play. Great route, looked the ball in, and was covered. Nice throw on that play too. They'll probably work him into the offense over the bye. It was his first NFL game, after all.
RE: Jordan Franks - corpjet - 10-29-2018
Certainly welcome his youthfulness, he looked great on the wheel route.
I'm sure he will be brought along slowly with the offense and his blocking is no where close where it needs to be
RE: Jordan Franks - I_C_DeadPeople - 10-29-2018
Memo to Ross: look what happens when you not only run the right route, but you finish it!
RE: Jordan Franks - bengalsturntup926 - 10-30-2018
Im listening to bengals line while im reading this forum,lapham said he had 1 snap all game for 1 catch 32 yards. Lol unbelievable
RE: Jordan Franks - bengalsturntup926 - 10-30-2018
I like his number too 88, michael irvins number

Just like DeDe Dorsey. Dude blocked a punt, and recovered it for a TD, and was promptly benched.
Then, a different game, he takes a screen pass 77 yards for a TD and gets benched again.

His strength is his speed as a receiver. Hopefully, his blocking can be sufficient and he can get some more opportunities.
That ball Dalton threw him dropped right in to his arms in stride. Dalton is getting some credit, but he is making it look easy when he is protected. Breaks my heart to think what he could be doing with a healthy Eifert and a Ross living up to his potential.
We also really need Gio back, as they seem to feel like they would be overworking Mixon if they involved him in the passing game.

He mentioned on Bengals Line last night that he is confident at blocking LBs at the 2nd level, but not in line blocking and he needs work.
He seems like a good kid, not the brightest though lol. Is close with Hayes.
His brother is Felipe Franks, the QB at Florida.
EDIT: WTF would autocorrect change "Franks," to "Frank's?" Stupid damn thing...

franks was only gonna be out there in 2 TE sets using fischer as a 6th OL probly helped limit franks snaps
RE: Jordan Franks - Truck_1_0_1_ - 10-31-2018
Well, he has shown that he can run decent routes and has good hands (see his preseason tape as well), although it is limited sample size.
Can't view YT at work anymore so I can't check for highlights on it, but I'm sure someone can find something that he did at UCF on there.
So keeping that in mind, I'd think he'll be on the field in 3 TE sets (obviously) and 2 TE sets when we are expecting to pass, especially since he admitted himself, that he needs to work on his inline blocking.
2 TE sets with where we are expecting to run, I can expect Lengel to be in there.

I really hate when we're in a position where our personnel on the field dictates what the play is going to be. It's a direct tip-off to opposing defenses.

So what team picked him up and let him be a star after he left the Bengals?

That's why losing Eifert and Kroft hurts; both are competent (Eifert's come a LONG way) blockers, in addition to their receiving prowess.
