Ced actually did improve his strength quite a bit last offseason, but the scheme and lack of any outside threats not named AJ Green really doomed this offense.  Here's to hoping he contributes in some way.  Even if that way is simply pushing Fish to be his best, that is something.

One thing is for sure, the Bengals will be torching folks in the preseason games.  Depth across both lines and a lot of RB/WR/TE trying to make the club with some real talent...should be fun to watch. 

TBH, I still can’t fathom what the heck Alexander was trying to do? Too complicated. I think these guys are going to have a clear vision of what is expected. They will perform or be benched.
