He'd watch games with me when they were on TV, but he never really knew any of the players names other than the stars. He'd just say stuff like "That #82 is pretty good. (Rodney Holman) They should throw it to him more often."
Watching Bergey play so awesome with the Eagles, I understood his anger as the years went by because LB is by far and away the Bengals al-time weakest position group. He's still in my all-time Bengals team as a starter. The weakness at the position over the years is also why I'm so bummed about Odell Thurman throwing his career away for drugs. It was not difficult to see that he had that "IT" factor.
My all-time starters
Jim LeClair
Bill Bergey
Vontaze Burfict

Great post.
No doubt about LB being the weakest spot all-time. I'd throw Reggie Williams in there, but he is OLB not ILB.
i'd have Bergey on my all-time Bengals squad as well.
