another CB possibility?

Hasn't O'Neal had "issues" off the field in the past? Or was it that he was a malcontent? Just sayin'

Wellllllllll, he was a Bengal after all...

he's not a shut down, but he could come in compete for the starting job, move Springs to and no matter what happens we have at least 3 more than servicable DB's that can hold there on against any WR..... plus if needed (injuries) springs could go back to DB and Fox or Preliou can cover Strong Saftey

I think if springs comes back 100% he should no doubt start at corner.

we need springs at corner a lot worse than we need him at safety.

agreed.

However, I do think if we're going to put all of our eggs into the, well I hope springs stays healthy basket, our defense will suffer.

My guess is Springs gets hurt in pre-season, or while going to the grocery store, or a freak gardening accident. We're not prepared to have someone in the secondary go down.

I don't know -- the whole idea of bringing in last minute defensive backs as a "just to be sure" measure smacks of Kenny Wright, Mike Rumph type signings.

I have to admit though, the idea that O'Neal can catch an errant ball thrown in his direction does sound attractive. I also agree that pinning all our hopes on Shawn Springs staying healthy, and leaving only Smoot and Rogers if he goes down gives me the willies.

If Deltha O is traded there's a reason why, he's nothing special by any means.
Let's hope SS has a comeback year, he's due.

if we take anyone from the Bengals roster, does their parole officer come along?

I belive so, for free

That's great, I'm gonna' see Joe2 on "Dog, the Bounty hunter"
