I think the Bengals finally have a near complete Team, similar to three years ago. Although three years ago, we didn't have Anderson and Williams to run behind, this year we have a couple of road graders in Hart and Glenn. A big Center would round it all out.
I am glad to hear that Marvin will use Lawson as an OLB on first and second downs. If we add an anchor DT, an edge and a cover LB in the draft, we should be a tough out for anybody.
I doubt Hart makes the team with everything i have read about him, but yah never know.
Pollack must of seen something in him. Definately excited about Glenn and a new Center though, right there is a huge
upgrade over what we have had since Willie and Braham. Plus, these RB's are ten times more talented than Rudi Johnson.
No offense Rudi.

not the negative side....
the Bengals fix this O-line & the skys the limit....
ground game will be a huge threat to defenses......we'll see 8 in the box......
& A.D. & the receivers will feast....
control the clock.....low turn overs.....
11-5 no sweat....
Yeah, i prefer to have an optimistic view in life.
I don't see us winning a Playoff game under Merv unless like i said the O-line is good enough to take the games out of his hands.
But i can definately see 10+ wins and under Merv 10+ wins have happened lots of times.

That way I wont have my panties in a bunch like a lot of people who predict 11-5 and deep playoff run and get neither. Then they go on a tirade for a few months how they wont follow this team anymore because they are tired of it, and when they get a new water boy for the team will win the Super Bowl all of a sudden because the water is magic!!!
Are you saying that is me GF?
If you are i don't think we can be friends anymore.

While the prospects of having a much improved OL seem promising, there is still a lot of work and proving to be done, before we can begin to consider the situation remedied.
Glenn had his bone spurs removed and says he is ready to go right now. He never had injury problems before this either.
Agreed on Hart. Draft Wynn and Ragnow/Price and the work will be done.
