Questions:
1. Who else played advanced ball?
2. What position did you play?
3. Given your experience how does that factor into your view of Bengals?
1. Yes, semi-pro (They did not pay me)
2. Defensive back
3. I don't get the hype about the QB being the being face for Bengals. Or for Dalton being at fault for the overall team. In my semi-pro teams QB was just a member of team. Did not view him as overall fault or credit. We were ranked #2 at one point nationally in my Dayton Steelers semipro team in 1993 (hated the team name :)
Others?
Questions:
1. Who else played advanced ball? Started my college career at a D1 school and was not mature enough to be on my own a 1000 miles from home. Screwed that up and lost my scholarship...best thing that ever happened to me. I went to a small private DIII school and played for four years, got a great education and met my wife. While playing football there I learned how to be a winner, and recognize what servant leadership looks likes.
2. What position did you play? I played the position that requires the most athleticism and brains on the field...Corner. If you don't believe me ask any CB...lol. I also returned punts...so maybe I'm not that smart?
3. Given your experience how does that factor into your view of Bengals? I am a lifelong Bengals fan...have never had another team and never will! I am not sure that I could feel any different about my home town team whether or not I played advance ball. I only know one thing and that's "Who-dey baby!"
