I'd give Hill and Burkhead the carries, then bring back one of the RB's we had in camp...or some other free agent. Of course, this assumes that WJ3 is ready to go. With a pec injury he likely couldn't lift weights or do other things to prepare.
Reports were that WJ3 was coming back until Gio got injured.

Dalton may beg to differ.

Anyone defending this move is just as nuts as marvin Lewis. Need rb depth hey how about tre Carson!! Special teams isn't the problem. Have y'all idiots seen will Jackson run and jump? Something we don't have in our secondary!! Duh

Like I said, I would cut Chykie to make room for WJ3 on the 53...Assuming WJ3 is healthy...which none of really know.
Agree, was waiting for this. Why not let him go. What about Shaun Williams injury? Maybe bring WJ3 back and try Dennard or Shaw at S

All you keep saying WJ3 is a college corner no experience he won't contribute. What the **** is he going to be next year now. A 1 year CB with no experience. Wouldn't you want him to take some lumps now and gain valuable NFL experiences instead of waiting til next year. Why do you think all of our 1st round CBs are so terrible. Because they don't get any experience for years and then you all ***** about how they aren't performing. Being a corner in the NFL takes time and game experience. This benching 1st rounders for 3 years and then expecting them to come in and be all stars is ridiculous.

He can contribute to one of our worst positions on the team. The running game sucks yes but a lot has to do with the oline

He's taking his lumps but he's getting better and better and making plays. Because he's on the damn field and actually learning. WJ3 on the bench for 4 years isn't going to make him better

How does it help him???
Well for one, he gets time with a strength and condition coach at the NFL level, not a college level one.
Second, he gets time to practice...from now until next camp he is allowed to rehab and practice with the team. That means he'll get adjusted to the speed of the game.
Third, he can actually let the injury heal to 100% and rebuild strength in it, rather than be out on special teams (which is where he would be right now, not starting) and run the risk of getting it re-injured in some garbage scrum.
I'm not sure what part of this is so hard to understand. It is a rookie CB, who is 6th on the depth chart and wouldn't have seen any reps with his limited time practicing.
Why some of you are just so ready to toss the kid out there watch him fail and then call him a bust is beyond me. Let the kid actually practice and be healthy before putting him on the field.

And a 3rd string RB will not fix our O line and will definitely not keep Andy from getting injured
As I said earlier in the thread, we don't know Marvin's current job security. You can't expect the guy to coach for next year if he's going to get canned if he can't make the playoffs. Tank the rest of the season for draft position is fan talk. No HC with a mathematical chance to make the playoffs is going to do that. Of course, most of us want us to lose out so Marvin gets canned, anyways, so writing off the season to give an unprepared rookie some game reps definitely plays to that end.
We're already having trouble picking up the blitz. If you don't think Andy can't get hurt because the RB missed a blitz pickup, you're fooling yourself.

On August 4th when it happened they feared it was season ending. A second opinion said...maybe it's not season ending. The guy had surgery to re-attach his pectoral muscle.
I can't believe that 3 months later, that he is truly 100%.
Maybe he feels could enough to get out on the field and was cleared medically, but having a surgery to re-attach a muscle isn't the type of procedure that you bounce back from. Six months is usually when they anticipate you start getting back to where you were, sometimes longer.

We have played two RBs for the majority of the snaps. This wont change. Hill and Burkhead will get the most playing time.
We are going with Peerman because he is a veteran spiritual leader. And somebody needs to take over for Burkhead on special teams. But we need the spiritual leader to keep morale high as Marvin leads us nowhere.
Marvin did what he does best. Show his blind preference for veterans that has led to zero postseason wins is still intact. He is shit and this move was shit. He goes with the "safe" choice because he is a nutless coward.
Almost back to square one with the guy. He will battle we will win a couple more. Might get another 8-8ish year like what he used to do. And it will do nothing other than cost us draft position.
But hell, at least we get old trusty Peerman some experience he can show off when he hits free agency. Sucks we have some injuries in the secondary and could use some depth. If only WJ3 was capable of playing special teams. But that is a lofty task for a guy with first round DB athleticism.
All I know is a first round CB will be tempting next year. Picman is getting old , Dennard has a ways to go , and Kirkpatrick will get a big money offer. If Peerman wasnt the key to our season maybe we could have seen if we had an answer with our first round pick from this year. Oh well. Marv knows best for sure. His consistent post season winning ways show he is the man with the master plan.

Do we even have a PS running back?
I'm mobile and haven't been keeping up with the PS roster.
It just seems to me that a back up RB would be easier to scrape up than a CB would might contribute if for some reason they compete for post season.
Fair point, but you know how the Bengals operate. They are going to be loyal to Peerman...Even if he's 30 years old coming off injury. Signing Hillman and bringing WJIII off of IR would've been a better move.
But if I'm forced to choose strictly between Peerman and WJIII, I think it's obvious you need 3 RBs.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Wait... so you're saying Hill and Burkhead are good at picking up the blitz?
It wouldn't be crazy to say they are below average... would it?
I just can't believe this is a talking point for debate.
You guys have no idea if Tra Carson or any FA brought in could possibly block at their level or above.
On a side note... I don't think Wright has shown anything to help this team.
It sure would be nice to see what Core has to offer.
Do we know what he can do for a fact? Nope.
However we do know what Wright brings to the table.
This team is in dire need for changes and you'd hope that the head coach would try to tweak what isn't working.

Isn't that true.
I used to be on here talking about how we need to sign a free agent at positions of need...and fans would tell me how our model of building through the draft was going to lead to a dynasty.
5 years later...and 0 playoff wins later...26+ years without a playoff win...It doesn't get much worse than that.

It's about knowing and accepting your role. Peerman knows and accepts this. Jackson accepts but doesn't know (very little to no camp time). Same with any outside FAs. Not saying I agree with the move, but I can come to understand why they did it, and in all honesty I would probably do the same.

Im sure someone will make the special teams argument, but STs has been fine so far without him.
Yes, I know special teams is a place the team is struggling, but Burkhead is doing well in his role and I would have really liked to see WJIII to evaluate him and push the other DBs.
I think they will 100% re-sign Dre, but might they invest another high draft pick here if they don't know what they have in WJIII? At least Dennard is playing, and he is a bigger question mark.

Yep, with no Green and no Gio and no offensive line and not any changes in scheme (2 or 3 TE sets), this team is in allright.
In deep...
