You really have to wonder if the Dalton will be durable enough down the stretch if we don't get better at pass pro. 

This was my only rub about this year's draft.  I didn't want Mixon, although I am warming up to him, I wanted him to get a shot somewhere else...not in Cincy.  I blame me not wanting Mixon (unfairly) on the Bengals keeping Jones after his off-field tirade this year. 

What did I want in the second round?  To try and trade up to the back end of Rd 1 and draft Cam Robinson.  

I hope I am wrong, but I think they have placed all their chips on one number (70) and it may crap.  The backup plan of Fisher to LT and Andre Smith to RT doesn't sound very solid, either, as Smith can't seem to stay healthy....at least not through a 16 game season.

I am hoping and praying that Ced sticks to the technique work and uses his (supposedly) outstanding athleticism and gets the job done, but as many have heard the old saying:  "Hope is not a strategy".
