Sorting Through the Noise
—
Lots of optimism these days. From Carson. From Chad. From ESPN columnists. From SI columnists. From fans. From Baghdad. For the fan in me, this is all well and good. For the guy-who-wants-change in me, this is not all that great (to the extent it leads to spending on the Bengals). But ...

Cedric Benson is the workhorse; Jordan Palmer closer to backup role than we think?
Cincy Jungle — ... Carson Palmer is healthy. Andre Caldwell is showing some promise as a slot receiver. Ochocinco is back to being a top-level receiver after training hard this offseason.

My concern might be the offensive line, but that’s hard to evaluate until the team is in pads.” WDR concludes after cutting "through the crap" that optimism with this Cincinnati Bengals squad isn't warranted. What does it mean when ...

Just Another Line?

And that’s not even considering Smith. Let him hold out; I’m not at all sure I wouldn’t rather have Collins starting over a rookie. ...
