Bengals take DE/DT Matt Toeaina from Oregon
The Bengals added their third Samoan defensive lineman in the sixth round (187 overall) when they selected Matt Toeaina from Oregon. He is 6-2, 307 pounds. He is a natural leader and was elected team captain in 2006, when he started all 13 games and finished with 36 tackles and three sacks.
He is considered a player who gives great effort and is a "bear-hug" tackler but does not have great football instincts.
He joins defensive tackle Domata Peko and end Jonathan Fanene as Samoans on the Bengals' roster.

Post a Comment*Can anyone specify what "does not have good football instincts" really means?
The Bengals really need to pounce on David Patterson as a FA-now. Versatile run-stopper can play inside and out.
