Wanted a O-lineman or pass rusher.

Yet am not going to judge the man on his first preseason game after becoming healthy.

Too early for judgement on kids play.

Ahhh, a reasonable, intelligent disagreement.  Thanks, Cards!  I don't think there was an offensive lineman at the top of Round 1 worthy of being selected there, but I did want one in Rd 2.  We certainly got pass rushers in Willis and Lawson, plus Smith in FA.

The Bengals took a long time to get over the "Peter Warrick was solid but not a game changer at #4 overall because he wasn't a big WR" mantra for a long time.  Just like their fascination with bigger, longer DEs.  They finally went with guys with speed and some bend and WOW, the entire front four looks unbelievable (when they are in the game). 

I think we will see the exact same impact from Ross on the offense.  I haven't lost a shred of my enthusiasm for him.
