Then there were nine

The Bengals this afternoon waived two of their 11 linebackers, letting go of Anthony Schlegel and Roy Manning.

Manning is a fourth-year NFL player from Michigan. He played in five games for Cincinnati last season and had seven special teams tackles.

Schlegel is a third-year NFL player from Ohio State. He played in 13 games for the Bengals last season, with five starts, and had 34 tackles on defense with four special teams tackles.

The Bengals still have nine linebackers under contract, not counting first-round draft pick Keith Rivers of Southern Cal.

hope they didn't release them both at the same time, an MU guy and an OSU guy, they'd have probably had a fistfight outside coaches' office;-p

Mark, how many LB do you see them keeping this year? Obviously special teams may be a question, but specifically, how many LB's will they keep. I wouldn't think they would keep more than 8.

Depending on the number, who do you think gets booted next....pending litigation in Boone County?

Hey Brooks!! It takes a mentalmidget to see a mentalmidget!!

Is he on steroids?? Seriously! To have that kind of aggression and pull that stunt without any thought, makes me wonder....

As Paul Brown use to say, "It's time to get on with your life's work!"
