Re: Levi Jones released by the Bengals
 

I would love to see it. I like orakpo, but I was really hoping for Michael Oher. We need a tackle worse than anything. I don't get how we have a top 10 defense and a pathetic offense, and everyone says the QB has no time or protection from the RT, and we go after defense in the draft. I hope we address this need somehow and this guy would be an upgrade at some point.

I think Jones may be headed to Buffalo, where he has a chance to start. I doubt he would somewhere like Denver or even here.

I like Dhani's tv show so we obviously need to sign him.

EDIT: I was thinking about Dhani and not Levi.

Re: Levi Jones released by the Bengals
 

If we can get him for a decent price then why the hell not.

Re: Levi Jones released by the Bengals
 

Would love to see Levi but its already a lot of cluster/competition at RT. I really believe that Jansen can only lose the job.

[quote=jsarno;555367]Just an FYI, we have over 8 mil in cap space.

I do not think an often injured player is someone we should be looking at. He had a season ending injury last year, and we have had enough of that.

All the haters on Jansen...I am one of the few that thinks he might be able to make a solid comeback this year after a year of strengthening and conditioning his injured parts. Jansen was a GREAT tackle until injuries just derailed his career. I think we might be a little shocked how much better he will be. Then again, I could be wrong. Still, want to see if he can regain his form.[/quote]

I think Jansen will play better this year too. He's in better shape (his lateral movement is probably a lot better now that he's down to 295) and is a year removed from a season-ending injury. I'll bet he comes away with the RT job with Bridges backing him up. Heyer will backup Samuels.

Re: Levi Jones released by the Bengals
 

Bring in Levi asap !!he's better than most of our starters, and plays against two of the best blitzing teams in league four times a year (Baltimore and Pittsburgh ) he is the best answer at RT for us!!

Re: Levi Jones released by the Bengals
 

Lets look at it another way. How many OL will Zorn keep? Especially RT? Jansen is a give due to cap issues. Then you have to decide on the rest. If williams loses his weight and turns out to be a beast he will stay on. Then who? Briggs? Can they move Jansen to Guard and get better production and then have Williams, Briggs, Heyer, and ? That's only if they are keeping 4 RT's. I bet they only keep 3 and maybe fill other holes on the OL. Now would it be wise to bring in Jones? Who might he bump? Williams, Heyer? Briggs played some Guard also so I bet if he's any good he stays.

I think Seattle may have a shot at Levi too, he's visiting them right?

Yup, he can take over Walter Jones' spot there.

Absolutely. He might surprise. Certainly hope so. I've always liked him.

Re: Levi Jones released by the Bengals
 

Jim Zorn on Jansen: "Well, Jon's been great, because Jon's worked at right tackle, he's worked at guard, and he's helping us at center. And to be honest with you, he's doing a great job at center, communicating with the guards and getting people in the right place. You know, center's a very communicative position, and he's doing a great job with that. The quarterbacks like him because his butt's so tall, they can just stand up and look at things. They don't have to squat down."
