THE DUKE Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 A tradition like no other.... Offense (24) QB: Joe Burrow, Jake Browning RB: Joe Mixon, Chase Brown, Trayveon Williams XWR: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Stanley Morgan YWR: Tee Higgins, Trenton Irwin ZWR: Tyler Boyd, Charlie Jones TE: Irv Smith, Drew Sample, Devin Asiasi LT: Orlando Brown Jr, Jackson Carman LG: Cordell Volson OC: Ted Karras, Trey Hill RG: Alex Kappa, Max Scharping RT: Jonah Williams, Cody Ford Defense (26) LDE: Sam Hubbard, Joseph Ossai, Cam Sample NDT: DJ Reader, Josh Tupou UDT: BJ Hill, Zach Carter, Jay Tufele RDE: Trey Hendrickson, Myles Murphy WLB: Logan Wilson, Akeem Davis-Gaither, Marcus Bailey MLB: Germaine Pratt, Joe Bachie LCB: Chidobe Awuzie, DJ Turner FS: Nick Scott, Jordan Battle, Michael Thomas SS: Dax Hill, Tycen Anderson SCB: Mike Hilton, DJ Ivey RCB: Cam Taylor-Britt, Sidney Jones Specialist (3) K: Evan McPherson P: Brad Robbins LS: Cal Adomitis Notes Jake Browning could very well just be a placeholder spot until we sign a veteran backup QB, but for now, he's the only QB on the roster I think Evans gets cut and they go light at RB with a couple stashed on the practice squad. I think Mixon will be the clear RB1 to start the season, but Brown will get at least Perine level of reps that he was getting later in 2022. I expect Brown to get 6-8 touches a game early in the season, with a chance to prove himself for more. I think Stanley Morgan has at least one more year on the roster as a special teams ace so they aren't relying too heavily on rookies on special teams, Trent Taylor is the odd man out I won't be shocked if bring in another veteran TE to battle it out with Asiasi for TE3 in camp, but I do think we only keep 3 there since we will be heavy at WR with 7 I think we see a lot of churn with Prince, Smith, Adeniji, and Collins all gone. I wouldn't be shocked if Collins hung around on the PUP to start the season as injury insurance. By everything being said, he doesn't seem to be in the plans. I really would have liked one more IOL in the draft, so maybe they'll bring in another FA there. I wouldn't count out Jaxson Kirkland from bumping off Scharping. I think they only keep 5 IOL since Carman can bump inside if needed as well. Jonah's in contract year, he'll be here and on the right side playing for his next deal from someone else. I don't think he'll be a distraction. DE5 is going to be a battle between Sample and Basham, and I do think they'll keep 10 DL this year. Tufele is likely the odd man out if they only keep 9. Running back the exact same LB room as last year. Ivey could end up being a practice squad guy, he'll be in a battle Jalen Davis, Marvin Tell, and Allan George for CB6. The winner of that battle is likely who looks best on special teams. I think we go heavy at DB this year with 11, although S5 is Michael Thomas as purely a special teamer. While I think Nick Scott gets the early nod, I think Jordan Battle will be given the opportunity to win the other starting safety spot. Barring anything crazy, this should be our specialist group for the next several years. By the start of training camp I expect extensions to be announced for Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Logan Wilson Camp Battles DE5 - Cam Sample vs Terrell Basham vs Jeffrey Gunter IOL5 - Max Scharping vs Jaxson Kirkland CB6 - DJ Ivey vs Jalen Davis vs Marvin Tell vs Allan George QB2 - Browning vs anyone else in camp who plays QB S2 - Nick Scott vs Jordan Battle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I like it. Maybe they bring back Wilcox now that they didn't draft a TE. McCarron loves the XFL or whatever it is, but would he want to be Joe's backup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I can put a prediction together later, maybe. I think my one comment would be that i'm not sure the team is settled at RB and QB quite yet. Maybe even OL. I see some moves happening later in the summer. One example would be Clyde Edwards-Helaire being a prime cut candidate during training camp. I could see them making a late move to firm up the RB group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Rapien has his predictions below. Most notably, Jackson Carman cut (or traded). Simien over Browning. Hudson over Asiasi (I like a lot). Ford over Scharping (don't like at all). Dominique Davis cut (bit disappointing). Ivey over George and Jones. Mike Thomas cut. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/allbengals-insiders-plus/bengals-53-man-roster-projection-who-will-make-cut-after-first-preseason-game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's flashed enough that he should, but that concussion didn't help his case. I hope he doesn't end up on the PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Really surprised that Wilcox made it over Hudson. Must have been a Darren Simmons selection is my only thought, because i still don't think i've ever seen Wilcox play an offensive snap. Not many other surprises on cutdown day other than Stanley Morgan not making it. But i think he'll get re-signed after some other shuffling of IR players and what not.

Hudson is 29 (yeah, I didn't realize that either) and is one dimensional. he can catch, but can't block or play special teams. Wilcox does both. I would like to think he sticks around on the PS in case we need to call him up. I want to believe Stanley Morgan has a handshake deal to come back after someone like Ford goes to IR (concussion), because I can't see Simmons being OK with two new gunners on punt coverage (Flowers left in off season). I guess I'm kinda surprised that Johnson got cut. I thought they might try to sneak him in then move Ossai to IR today and give the high ankle sprain plenty of time to rest. At worst, I hope they get Johnson, Dominique Davis and maybe Gunter to the practice squad. I hope Lassiter and Jackson make it back at WR. Whichever RB was getting all of the 4th quarter looks should be there as well. Interested to see whether they keep Siemian as the PS QB, or chase a cut player like Grier or Fromm. I know it isn't a normal thing, but if Chrisman doesn't get claimed, I think I would put him on the PS as well. He's a great guy to root for, but isn't always at his best when you need him the most (last punt of AFCCG?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Word is we're picking up Grier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Bristow Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Very surprised Stanley Morgan Jr is not back on the roster. I was sure that was just a temporary cut to get someone to IR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's better for players and teams both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Morgan or anyone else on the Practice Squad can be activated on the weekend. During the week, there isn't much difference between players on the 53 and PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
