NJ Spartan Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi, Curious how many people think Simpson will play this Sunday vs. SF? If you don't think he's going to play is Andre Caldwell a good play instead? Go Green! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharrer1980 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Given how many times the bengals have gotten arrested in the past years, he will probably play but eventually get suspended. I picked up caldwell as a flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thought maybe Caldwell would be picking up Shipley's slack Does Simpson's trouble and the injury to Shipley do anything towards getting Brandon Tate some playing time?

Zooty Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 why wouldn't he play? Do you think the team will suspend him? I don't. Jerome Simpson - WR - Bengals The Cincinnati Enquirer's Joe Reedy would be "very surprised" if Jerome Simpson is active for this week's game against the 49ers. The Bengals are expected to let Simpson chill after 8.5 pounds of Josh Gordon were discovered at his house on Tuesday. He's no longer a hot waiver wire claim. Andre Caldwell is expected to move into the starting lineup opposite A.J. Green. We wouldn't rank Caldwell as a top-50 option this week.

aruss Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Jordan Shippley is done. He would be the sexiest pick to step up. Andre Caldwell will line up No. 2. Should see 5-8 targets. More of a possession receiver than Simpson, but not as fast. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Cald...0f-ffaffdf6eca2 Edited September 23, 2011 by aruss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Bengals HC Marvin Lewis has left open the door for Jerome Simpson (questionable, personal) to be active against the 49ers on Sunday."We’re still taking to people and figuring out what the best thing is for Jerome," Lewis said. "Any decisions I make on it are going to be based on what people recommend is the best thing for him." It sounds like Simpson will essentially be a game-time decision after getting caught with 8.5 pounds of Josh Gordon on Tuesday. If he does play, he won't be in for a full complement of snaps after missing the Bengals' past two practices. I find this very troubling and typical of the NFL. I just don't see how any franchise allows a player to play after something like this happens, but the moral police don't exactly frequent the NFL too much.

SLAYER Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I find this very troubling and typical of the NFL. I just don't see how any franchise allows a player to play after something like this happens, but the moral police don't exactly frequent the NFL too much. It came in under the 4 kilo automatic suspension rule that was worked out in the new CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It's not like Simpson did something bad like buy Starcaps off a store shelf. Why wouldn't he play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historymike Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I say he sits. Given the historical reputation of the Bengals as being overly tolerant (even in the context of being an NFL team) of misbehavior, I think the Bengals brass will finally step up, as otherwise the team loses any speck of credibility it still holds in terms of discipline.
