The New Bengals Expectation

[Luvnit2]

It was not long ago (7 to 10 years ago) the Bengals had to rely on at least one or 2 draft picks to start immediately due to average to poor talent on the roster. In addition, it appeared we always had guys show up out of shape and not ready to work day one of camp.

It is refreshing to see our team progress and show up in impressive shape. Whittworth as usual leads by example and comes in at 307. Big Andre Smith comes into camp in great shape. Adam Jones, Eifert, Jones, AJ, Hill, Dunlap,Clarke, Hall, Dre and many others. Geno looks like a beast and is awesome shape.

I know we have been better for years, but I never take anything for granted. I applaud the FO for hiring/retaining this group, the coaches for setting the standard and of course the players who work their tails off in the off season (their vacation) to be ready.

This team deserves some good luck and fortune to match the talent to help them start winning playoff games and ultimately the Super Bowl.

Look around the league at all of the players inactive due to poor conditioning, the Bengals are of one of the best coming into camp ready. This was not the case not long ago.
