Blue Adams ‘knifed,’ as in cut
NUMBERS GAME WASN’T
HIS ONLY PROBLEM
Too often injured and too many penalties spelled doom for Blue Adams.
The Bengals on Thursday, July 24, terminated the contract of the fifth-year veteran cornerback from the University of Cincinnati, releasing him to free agency.
Adams also got trapped in a numbers game. With Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall penciled in as starters, and Deltha O’Neal and David Jones the top backups, and college free agent Simeon Castille coming on strong, Adams was too far down the depth chart to be considered a factor.
Adams played in 13 games last season in his first year with the Bengals. He recorded seven tackles on defense, 11 special teams tackles and a special teams forced fumble.
He also got hammered with five penalties for 65 yards. He brought out the yellow hankie for roughing the passer, an illegal block above the waist, unnecessary roughness, defensive holding and a low block.
Blue was a good guy to have with you in a back-alley brawl, but his penchant for penalties was a sign that he too often played undisciplined.
