Yes, those are some hella talented young players right there.

Sure, but what about Billings and Glasgow Jake? I think these are good players and Dunlap and Andrew Brown can
get pressure from the inside if we need them to. What if Mount Wren comes along? You never know and there are
always options if a certain player goes down. Coaching in the end is what puts on top or in a world of hurt.

It may take a few weeks to get there, or we may be there now. Although, 9.5 underdogs going into Seattle is exactly what I want right now. No respect usually works great in our favor and motivates these guys to bring their all.
Feel the same. Think it might take a bit for the coaches and players to gel but think this will be a much better team
than last year as long as we are not decimated by injuries. Kind of glad we get a tough game in Seattle to start out
the season, great test for a young HC and our young team.

We had key injuries and still took the lead late in the game. If the players the Bengals had were on other rosters they would be perineal pro bowlers as we see when they leave to go to other teams i.e Justin Smith, J Joe, Big Whit, Spikes and others. Dont let the media ignorance cloud your mind but saying that in respect not malice. Who Dey
Coaching was a big problem last season and we still won 6 games while being decimated by injuries. Expecting at
least 8 wins this season under a new regime with a better O-line and much better Linebackers and Coaches.
