ESPN. Bengals on the Rise

[TJHoushmandzadeh's Shiny Shoes]

I'm not without some sympathy for the idea that our free agency was over-rated.

I think they were generally good moves but I'm not sure how much, Reader aside, they moved the needle.

That's not necessarily a criticism, more ranking it as good rather than great. I'll be happy to revise that upwards if Waynes is a pro bowler or they turn the defense into a top 10 unit etc. For now we're appearing to be moving in the right direction.
