Schlegel cut; Bengals roster has ZERO Buckeyes
WHERE HAVE ALL THE BUCKEYES GONE?
The Cincinnati Bengals waived linebackers Anthony Schlegel (Ohio State) and Roy Manning (Michigan) today, May 1, 2008.
Now that Schlegel is gone, the Bengals roster is void of Ohio State Buckeyes.
BUCKEYES-BENGALS TRIVIA
Here’s some trivia for loyal “LUDWIG AT LARGE” readers:
Q. Who was the last Buckeye drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals?
A. Fullback Jeff Cothran, a third-round draft choice in 1994 — the same year the Bengals made Ohio State defensive tackle Dan “Big Daddy” Wilkinson the No. 1 overall pick of the draft.
More trivia:
Q. In 10 seasons (1999-2008), four Buckeyes have played for the Bengals. Can you name them?
A. Cornerback Ty Howard (‘99), quarterback Craig Krenzel (2005), center Alex Stepanovich (2007) and linebacker Anthony Schlegel (2007).
Schlegel, a third-year NFL player, was acquired off waivers from the New York Jets on Sept. 2, 2007. He played in 13 games for the Bengals last season with five starts, and had 34 tackles on defense with four special teams stops.
Manning is a fourth-year NFL player from Michigan. He played in five games for Cincinnati last season and had seven special teams tackles.

Only in the rest of Ohio would a lack of OSU players on the Bengals roster be considered a disaster. The Bengals had OSU players in the past, but probably the best one was Ray Griffin (surely not Archie, who never lived up to his billing in the NFL). And if anybody remembers Ray, you’d also remember that he wasn’t that good, either. I don’t think it’s an accident that the Marvin era has moved away from Big 10 oriented players and more toward SEC players. After all, look at OSU’s record in the last two BCS Championship games; speed kills, and OSU didn’t have it.By VietVet

Shouldn’t worry about how many OSU players are on the roster. Should worry about keeping the players that you do have on the roster out of jail.What ever happened to that no tolerance policy a few years ago concerning players getting into trouble with the law?Wasn’t Marvin suppose to clamp down on his team’s behavior?By mike
