What you said about Og and Fish...they also don't want to be the one that stands between the Bengals and a huge year.  No one wants to be that guy.  I think the offseason and the full camps will be huge for them...I mean, how much could they have gotten last year?  Especially Fish?  When the world is looking down on you and no one seems to believe in you, there are two choices:  fold up your tents and leave, or come out swinging and ready to prove yourself.  I'm betting the latter....and with Smith able to back up RT, if Ced falters at LT, they will likely move Fisher over there.  No one is being handed anything.  

I just hope the coaches know how to adjust if some things go wrong. Last year they did not, this is my only concern.

Will they move Fisher to LT and Andre to RT if Ogbuehi struggles?

I am just hoping Og plays well and all indications are he will thank goodness.

If a few strange things happen like this, plus a guy like Uzo and Boyd take steps to the next level, Ross and Core become the stuff that gives DBs indigestion, and the young DEs end up being the asskickers I think they can be....well, that is how championship squads are created.  

I just don't know about Hill man, seems like once again instead of bulking up in the Offseason and trying to be the
bell cow back that he is that he trimmed down and is trying to be a scat back. I just don't think he gets what makes
him a good back. It is when he doesn't hesitate, it is when he just hits that hole and runs with conviction.

No dancing around.

This is why i like Mixon with his vision, but hey whoever helps the team helps the team and i hope the competition
is crazy strong like you say. We have some damn fine players when they play up to their potential, even Hill.

Haha but still SHRacer is right about our players, we have tons of talent on this squad, more than ever IMHO.

Exactly.

Yeah, he has some great highlights. He looked like Gronk in college good ole Schreck.

We are deep at TE if they can stay healthy. Very interesting battles.
