You are Super Bowl bound. To think that he was a liability while playing for the Seahawks, asking the team to release him, and going to a team you had no idea was going to the Super Bowl months down the road. Flowers hit jackpot at the right time.
You could add some credibility to your version by not continuing to add a "y" to the end of his name; he doesn't spell it with a Y. Until you can actually get his name right, zero credibility.Sports Hernia":1xhfhqzu said:I hate to be the party pooper but Cincy still makes the Super Bowl without Flowers.

I like Trey Flowers the person, but I think Trey Flowers the football player is a liability on the field.
LOL, now I know why I had you on ignore for the longest time. Back you go to the foe list.olyfan63":3gpvcqco said:You could add some credibility to your version by not continuing to add a "y" to the end of his name; he doesn't spell it with a Y.

Not only that, you miss the point of the *real* "always compete" mentality of the Bengals defensive coaching staff that found a situational role where Flowers could truly help them. If Flowers makes a positive difference on 3 key plays a game, that's HUGE.
No question Tre Flowers was a huge liability on the field for the Seahawks the way the team and KNJ used him. Kudos to the Bengals for finding stuff he can actually do and using him to his strengths.
Bengals also asked him to be a punt gunner for them and he's done well there too.
To me the point is that late in the season, with lots of main guys injured, it's often the roster fringe players who play big roles in big games, pro or con, and teams who get outsize contributions from minimum-salary guys, well, sometimes a few plays make the difference. The difference between trotting out a Tre Flowers vs an Etric Pruitt, trotting out a Marcus Burley instead of a Tharald Simon, those matchups can, and have, literally decided which team wins a Super Bowl.
I always felt we lost SB49 when Jeremy Lane went down and Pete matched up Tharald Simon on Edelman and Amendola. Brady feasted. Slot corner Marcus Burley was inactive, never understood that Carroll decision.
Please and thank you. Sometimes you have interesting and reasonable takes but lots of self-aggrandizing narcissistic mental diarrhea spew mixed in. Sorry, but you are just not God's gift to football fan message boards.Sports Hernia":c96pmvvi said:LOL, now I know why I had you on ignore for the longest time. Back you go to the foe list.
A nice rehab for Tre, so happy for him. I was under the impression he always practice well, but developed some confidence issues in real games. A new environment, a different role, out of spot lights has bone good. I haven't totally given up on him as RCB, if he could somehow regain his confidence and allow to play close to LOS be physical with the WR.nutluck":vhf0lmgg said:He will never be a star defender. But he can be a good role player as he has shown. He has been great when asked to cover TE's. As long as a team uses his strengths and don't try to put him into a a position he is not suited to, he will do well and help.
To me the biggest take form this is this. The Hawks tried to force him to be a outside CB covering other teams WR2. He is not well suited to that and it showed. The Bengals saw a really big CB that can cover slower big WR's or TE's and that is what they use him for. Kinda a special nickle CB which suits his strengths.
All teams need stars and role players to be a success then Bengals figured out how to get the most out of him and we did not. That says more about coaching staff than anything else. I mean we had Tre Brown that whole time, we could have put in Brown and moved Flowers to a similar role while he was here. He couldn't have been out playing Brown in practice there is just no way Flowers did better in practice as a outside CB than Brown, or we are really doing practices wrong or something.
So the question for me is... why didn't the coaches figure this out?

Guess we will find out, but to me I don't think he has the speed and fluid hips to cover outside WR's. I thought he would be best as a hybrid safety that could cover TE's and RB's. I will be curious to see how his career develops going forward.

But he is a good enough corner to at least keep with the TEs.
And he has very effective against shutting down or slowing those mismatch TEs.
Which is frustrating because great TEs have destroyed us enough that one would think we would at least try to put together something that works on TEs, and even more frustrating that something was on our roster the whole time.
