Stingers Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Will O Thurman be reinstated in July? Ahmad Brooks is a beast but wasn't able to keep up the beginning level of his play and was replaced. But now with Simmons moving on - Is Caleb Miller the missing key? Any homers have any thoughts or information on this situation? I am assuming they will not be moving to a 3-4 with tagging Justin Smith. So the MLB is the golden spot of the Bengals for at least this season.

Rovers Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Looks like Brooks to me.... after releasing Simmons, I have to think they plan on bring Thurman back now. This one might not be very clear until well into TC though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Thurman might not be in playing shape by July which would give Brooks a chance to do something in mini-camps and training camp to put his claim on the MLB position. But they also have AJ Nicholson and others - I agree it could be even pre-season before anything is decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember too, that they was recently talk of them going to a base 3-4 defense, which could put both Thurman and Brooks in the middle. Not sure if the is still the plan or not now, considering they put the franchise tag on Justin Smith, who is not really a 3-4 type end. I am sure the owners of the eventual Bengals MLB will end up very happy but, like Rovers said it doesnt look to be a clear cut situation anytime soon.
