Anyone gonna be there from this board?

Also, has anyone heard about a travelling practice in Wilmington? I asked Butch about it last year and he said they were working on it for this year.

That, and not asking hall to restructure his contract were two head scratching moves from the Bengals this offseason.

Peko will make 3.7 million and was one of the worst DTS in the game last year. PFF had him in the bottom 5% of the league, so I wonder what the thought process in keeping him here was.

Hall...is in jeopardy of losing his job. Had the Bengals asked him to take a 50% pay cut or he'd be released, he would have taken the 3.8 million for the season. He never would have received more than that if he were cut.

Instead hall is going to be making 7.7 million and Peko 3.7. I see that as a waste of 7.5 million. Nick Fairley was signed for 5 million.

I'm asking cause I honestly see no value in how they played both players final year in stripes

NFL Radio is doing the Bengals tonight from 7-10.

Asked about Andy Dalton winning a playoff game. Gruden said that dalton can be a good QB, but just has not played well in the playoffs. Then said the main point he wanted to make was that the entire Bengal team had not played well in the playoffs. Said that even though Dalton had not played well he was not the only problem.

AJ McCarron, after having imprssive OTAs, is sucking donkey balls in training camp so far. Is this cause for worry? If AD gets injured...

Curious, can any of you think of any of the more active, former members of Jungle Noise who didn't make the transition over? I'm guessing there's a bunch, that just in a couple months time, that many have forgotten. I was thinking it be interesting to take a poll on who we're missing.

Ex: Did Savage Henry make it over? BengalThing?

As far as bold predictions go for the 2015 season, this may be the "boldest" I've seen yet. One of the guys from CincyJungle gets his bold on in a big way, by predicting not only a Super Bowl win for the Bengals...but a SB MVP trophy for Andy...

Sure, it sounds absurd on the surface – and maybe it is. But if it’s not a bit outlandish, then it’s not really a "bold" prediction. Our latest in a series of bold predictions is Andy Dalton winning the Super Bowl MVP Award.

After all, Dalton has zero wins and four losses as a starting quarterback in the playoffs. Not to mention he owns an abysmal 57.8 quarterback rating in the playoffs, thanks to his six postseason interceptions and only one postseason touchdown.

You might think an anthropologist has a better chance of finding the fabled "missing link" between apes and men, than anyone has of earning a Super Bowl MVP award in the Dalton home. And based on Dalton’s postseason track record, who could blame you for thinking such a thing?

So what case could we possibly present in defense of the bold prediction that Andy Dalton will win the Super Bowl MVP Award?

If nothing else, it's an entertaining read and interesting to think about as a hypothetical.

How would a SB victory and a SB MVP change the perception of Andy...with this fan base and the national media?

So I am listening to the Bengals Podcast (with Paul Dehner JR and our friend Jim Owczarski) and there talking about the impact of moving Leon to safety.  With Leon moving to safety that means Nelson has moved to the bench. So my question is  what do we do with Reggie Nelson and in particular can he move to linebacker in nickel situations?

If you're the bookie, what odds do you place? Is there a wager we could place on the message board to see who is closest at the end of season? Thoughts?

A 2nd (which is what we paid for him)? A 2nd and a 3rd?

When you have a surplus at a position and someone else has a desperate need, isn't that a good time to turn a profit?
