One has to wonder if he was really washed, or just felt used up when he went down the tubes? He played the bulk of his career in optimistic times with the Bengals, as the Marvin Lewis era began to fade so did he. I can't blame the team for clinging to him, as that was the last move of desperation before the coaching change. Perhaps Geno just decided that he had enough to retire on and checked out?
I don't see a similar team overhaul in the works this year or next. BJ Hill has no reason to take the money and dump, as when I watch him he is still as competitive and pursues at full speed better than some younger players. As I said earlier, he's durable and dependable, and his production is pretty darn consistent.
I refuse to wear a current player's jersey to games. Or purchase one at all. I've worn my Willie Anderson jersey to over 100 games.
Last week, I had a weird intuition telling me to buy a 97 Atkins jersey.
