Trots Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 What happened to this guy? He had a good year last year. 1137 total yards and 7 TDs. Why has the job been given to Perry who has a terrible track record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpro11 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 perry will get hurt in the first month and everyone will be back on the kenny watson bandwagon come october. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Wouldn't be surprised. Perry didn't exactly separate himself from the pack during preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish Doggy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 the coaches don't have any faith in him to carry a load for the year. they continued to plug in a hurting Rudi over Watson last year when they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've got Kenny Watson in 3 separate leagues, even if he doesn't start, he'll still see plenty of work. I see at worst, a full blown rbbc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they believe that Perry can carry the load either. He has given them zero reason to think he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally see it as a full blown time share between Perry and Watson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 The Bungles inhale vigorously. Bad year to be having any of them. Except that Henry guy. He will come out smelling like a rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I would like to add Watson because I already have Perry, but my roster only has room for one Bengal RB and I don't think this backfield will be all that productive anyways...

Metromancer Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Perry will get injured as usual (42 DNPs) within the first 4 weeks and then Watson will be the default starter. He played pretty damn well last year as we all know, but the team has never seemed too high on his upside. I'd try to stay away from this guy in the draft, because I think the Bungles offensive line is a mess. He might be worth taking a flier on, though.

burton164 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Marvin Lewis says Perry is the man: Â From CBS: Â head coach Marvin Lewis said. "He's worked extremely hard to return from his injury to have this (opportunity), and he's made good on it. Now it's time, so he has everything to play for. It ought to be exciting to him. Right now he'll be our starting back. We have felt very comfortable keeping him in there on third down, so I think he'll log more playing time than anyone we've had back there for a while."

Â Â Â Surprising comments from Lewis, imo. I had Watson or Dorsey to get alot of 3rd down work, but if his comments hold true Perry could be one of the very few NON-RBBC backs in the league. It's a big "if" , but if he can stay healthy, he'd have to be moved inside the top 25 RB's. That could be quite a surprise for owners taking him in rounds 10+ .

It is just the Bengals, but in FF , the idea of a RB getting 90% of the carries is nothing to sneeze at. Your point on his injuries is noted, but Fred Taylor had the same type of stigma attached to his name and has shut up his doubters. It is possible that Perry can play 10 games, in which case , he could be of great value. In an offense that must score 30+ PPG to win, he has value and if the preseason was any indication, it appears they plan on using him very often in the passing game.

I'm probably biased beyond repair with Perry. I have wasted a roster spot with him on multiple occasions over the last few years and I have just given up on him. Yes, I did draft him in the 9th round on one of my teams. But this isn't the Bengals team of '05-'06, and I am not expecting much if anything from my 9th round investment. If he comes through, great, but not counting on that by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
