I have been pulling for this guy since he came to us. He's been a huge disappointment. I hope the light comes this season.

Hi Folks!

I'm a lifelong Bengals Fan from Canada. Fell in love with the the Team as a 11year old kid and I saw those Tiger stripes in 81.


For some reason we got Cinci games where I lived in Ontario Canada on our old TV tower....

Between the stripes and Ken's moustache...I was hooked!

It's been tough following the team as I've moved away...but I kept up.. the lonely life of a Bengals fan in western Canada.news papers and national games and playoffs were my only contact for decades...but I followed. No one to share the ups adn downs with..everyone here is a Vikings or Packers fan! Nothing but shade and jokes for my team in the sportsbars here. But I persist. Now with DAZN i can watch every game!!!!!!

Flash forward to this year. I live in Manitoba, am a DIEHARD CFL BLUE BOMBERS FAN and still hope every year my beloved Bengals will win...Then the Bengals go and sign Winstone Rose!!!! Bombers loss, but Bengals win! After watching this guy in the CFL I can say he's a gifted athlete with a huge toolbox..... I think he has the raw talent and ethic to make it in the NFL.....


I see Rose is on most peoples 53 man roster...just wondering how you see him fitting in to the group? will he be a platoon/ Injury replacement? or does he have a chance to start some games?

What do ya all think?

Anyhow this year has me feeling as optimistic as the 2012 off season (when I was sure Dalton was gonna drag the team to the championship.) so I decided to find a fan forum and join my fellow fans in this the most auspicious of seasons.

Who Dey? Some of them are Friendly Manitobans.

[Mobster]

No way they keep 8 WRs. And Evans is a lock at LB provided he's healthy. 5 safeties seems unlikely too.

I think Rose is right on the edge of the 53 man roster. We will likely play 3 CBs most of the time, and keep at least 5 (if not 6-7) CBs on the roster.

Our #1 CB (Waynes) got injured in camp and will miss most/all of the season, so everyone on the CB depth chart got bumped up a spot. Further, the two guys most likely to replace him have both missed a bit of time (Sims & Phillips), the former for personal reasons and the latter with small injuries. One of our other CBs left camp to search for his father who went missing in the woods in Florida, and promptly got arrested for allegedly assaulting the guy last seen with his father (who got separated from him in the woods). He is back now, but both he (Alexander) and our other starting corner (Jackson) are free agents after this year, so some CB depth seems a good idea.

Because of NFL roster rules, if we think Waynes can return this year, he has to make the roster, then be placed on Injured Reserve, and then we can designate a player to replace him on the roster. But that player has to ne released first. Rose could be that guy.

I'd rate him as the 5th/6th CB we have healthy. Jackson, Alexander, Phillips, Sims, then Brown & Rose. There are some other guys in the mix with previous experience in Cincy (Mabin & McTyer).

Agree that with Calitro traded, Evans seems a lock for the #6 LB spot. IF he is healthy, as you say. And IF we keep 6 LBs, which I think is likely, but not a certainty.

Agree that 5 safeties seems unlikely, but I think they like Henderson and Williams is hurt, and an expensive FA after this year, and Wilson returns kicks.....I just think they rate Henderson higher than the #9 DL (Brown/ Freedom/Bledsoe), #5 RB (Patrick), #4 TE (Schreck), #10 OL, or #3 QB. I guess we'll see. I think he is a protected PS guy at worst.

Why no way on 8WRs?

Depth chart
18mil for the #1
big money second contract second round pick #2 
top 10 pick for #3
33rd overall pick for #4
7th round steal for #5
always faithful, under used, clutch, top punt returner for #6
5th year vet FA acquisition familiar with new HC for #7

Damn!!


We have some really good WRs. I made my 53 guess, kept 7 WRs, and totally forgot about Thomas. No way we can keep 8 though. Hopefully we can hang on to Morgan, I don't think young fringe WRs will be hot waiver claims.

Psh, the Bombers will never be the Argos

Rose should definitely be a fringe guy and I personally think he will make the roster, but we'll see.

If you ever come by the GTA, let me know

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Post trade roster guess:

1. Locks = 38.

O = 18. Burrow; Mixon; Green, Boyd, Ross; Uzomah; J. Williams, Jordan, Hopkins, XSF, Hart. Bernard; Higgins, Tate; Sample; Johnson, Price.

D = 17. Dunlap, Atkins, Reader, Hubbard; Bynes, Pratt; Jackson, Alexander, Phillips; Bell, Bynes. Lawson, Daniels; L. Wilson, ADG; Sims; S. Williams.

ST = 3. Bullock; Huber; Harris.
----------------

2. Near Locks = 5. 43.

O = 3. Erickson; Carter; Adeniji.
D = 2. Kareem; B. Wilson.
---------------

3. Probable = 6. (49).

O = 3. T. Williams; Thomas; Redmond.
D = 3. Covington; Bailey; Waynes*.

*If we think he can play this year, if not, straight to IR.
---------------

4. Bubble = 4.

O = 1. Perine.
D = 3. Evans; T. Brown, Rose.
----------------

5. Waynes Replacement = 1.

D = 1. Henderson.
---------------------

6. Practice Squad = 16.

1. Dolegala, QB (Protected)
2. Schreck, TE (Protected)
3. Maugioa, C/G (Protected)
4. Morgan, WR (Protected)
5. Bledsoe, DE
6. Allen, QB
7. Patrick, RB
8. Wilcox, TE
9. Dishon, DT
10. Spears, LB
11. McTyver, CB
12. Akinmoladun, DE
13. Knipfel, OT
14. A. Brown, DE
15. Futrell, Edge
16. Washington, WR
-----------------------

So long: Mabin (CB), Lodge (WR), Franks (TE), Smith (DB), McKenzie (DT/OG).

I'd wager we use our waiver claim position at least twice & some guts get bumped. A PK/P for emergencies would also make sense.

[Luvnit2]

I think because we have to keep Alexander on the 53 for a day and then IR him, we cut a vet who makes a lot of money and has underperformed or we cut Bullock.

Either cut knowing we will re-sign them the next day for same contract. I worry exposing someone another team would grab eligible for waivers.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

So, so far today we have waived: Allen, Dolegala, Patrick, McTyver & Rose.

No lineman, TE, WR, or LBs have been released yet.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

FWIW, I believe we can have up to 6 veterans (4+ years) on the PS this year. McTyer & Allen would both qualify.

[Luvnit2]

Just posted this is another thread.

We can get Rosen dirt cheap!!!!!!!!!

it is somewhat surprising the team decided against developing Rosen -- with his cheap $750,000 salary -- as a backup.

No strings, no draft picks, if we want him nothing other 32 teams can do to stop it

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Now Irwin & Lodge.

Updated waivers from today = 7. Dolegala (QB), Allen (QB), Patrick (RB), Irwin (WR), Lodge (WR), McTyer (CB), Rose (CB).

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Cincyjungle has Rose, Patrick, & Irwin as likely PS guys if they clear waivers.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Updated waivers from today = 9. Dolegala (QB), Allen (QB), Patrick (RB), Irwin (WR), Lodge (WR), Schreck (TE), Akinmoladum (DE), McTyer (CB), Rose (CB).

Gotta think this means only 3 TEs unless we claim someone juicy. Though Franks & Wilcox remain.

[Geno_Can_Dunk]

Tyler Dragon also tweeted the Schreck release. He's a guy I've been pulling for since we drafted him. Not really sure what the Cethan Carter fascination is with this staff. I wonder if Schreck has a chance to beat him out if there had been preseason games.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Still around:

QB = 2. Burrow, Finley.
RB = 4. Mixon, Bernard, T. Williams, Perine.
WR = 8. Green, Boyd, Ross, Higgins, Tate, Erickson, Thomas, Washington.
TE = 5. Uzomah, Sample, Carter, Franks, Wilcox.
OL = 11. J. Williams, Jordan, Hopkins, XSF, Hart, Johnson, Price, Redmond, Mauigoa, Knipfel.
DL = 12. Dunlap, Atkins, Reader, Hubbard, Lawson, Daniels, Kareem, Covington, A. Brown, Bledsoe, Dishon, McKenzie.
LB = 8. Bynes, Pratt, L. Wilson, ADG, Bailey, Evans, Spears, Futrell.
CB = 7. Jackson, Alexander, Phillips, Sims, Waynes, T. Brown, Mabin.
S = 6. Bell, Bates, S. Williams, B. Wilson, Henderson, Smith.
ST = 4. Bullock, Huber, Harris, Godsil.

67 by my count.

Keep pulling. I think he is a PS guy if he clears waivers. For the most part, I think guys with some exoerience (both with the system/team and NFL in general) will be preferred over raw developmental guys on the PS this year due to COVID. A few exceptions, of course. But having a solid guy who can step in immediately will be a plus.
