Opinion: Cedric Benson's Hot Start Isn't All that Surprising

29 Sep 2009 09:32:11 PDT

Written by Greg Trippiedi
As a team, the Cincinnati Bengals have been quite the pleasant surprise. When I predicted that the AFC North would be the strongest division in football, I was not thinking that the Browns would compete for the title of worst team in football. But with the Bengals and Ravens off to strong st...

Opinion: How are the National Media Grading the NFL Draft?

27 Apr 2009 14:27:27 PDT

Written by Kirkendall
Bengals owner Mike Brown would rather draft a top offensive lineman than a skill-position player. In 2002, Brown drafted left tackle Levi Brown instead of tight end Jeremy Shockey in the first round. So it shouldn't have been a surprise to see the Bengals take offensive tackle Andre Smith o...

With the 179th pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select cornerback Morgan Trent, University of Michigan. The Bengals were secure with two first-round picks in 2006 and 2007 who have become the team's starters. After that the depth falls. Earlier in the off-season, Mike Zim...

Opinion: Poll: Do you want Chad Johnson with the Cincinnati Bengals?

Written by Kirkendall
Poll What do you want the Cincinnati Bengals to do with Chad Johnson? Keep him. He's too valuable on offense. Trade him. He's still awesome, but a fresh start for everyone is needed. Cut him. I really don't care about getting anything in return, he disrupts chemistry too much. 28 votes | Results

Film review: Defense, Cowboys vs. Bengals

08 Oct 2008 09:22:13 PDT

Written by Dave Halprin (Grizz)
CB - Adam Jones, in my opinion, is becoming our most effective cornerback. He's not scared to press-up on a receiver and seems to get his hands on more passes than other members of the Cowboys secondary. On the positive side, he was very tight in coverage on three occasions, had a pass breakup,...

Film review: Offense, Cowboys vs. Bengals

07 Oct 2008 23:15:54 PDT

Written by Dave Halprin (Grizz)
FB - The addition of Deon Anderson in the run game shouldn't be overlooked. I saw him blow up defenders at least three different times and contributed to blocks on a few other runs. He also had a very nice blitz pickup. He's part of the reason the run game got back on track.

Written by ChrisPokorny
Louis Leonard / Corey Williams: Combined, the pair jumped offsides four times (two a piece). Not only does that give the other team an automatic five yards if they so choose to accept the penalty, it gives them four free plays. In a way, they are the most costly penalties of all for a defensive p...

Subtract the ‘Chad Walks on Water’ Days. In two short years we’ve gone from ‘In Marvin We Trust’ to ‘In Chad We Disgust’. And I for one couldn’t be happier.

Written by Chris Maier
Aside from Chad Johnson’s gradual mood adjustment (Happy???), the Bengals actually held a mini-camp this past weekend. Partially due to the Chad Johnson sideshow (or lack there of), the non-Ocho news was a little on the light side. Below are some observations including one key change...

The Week in Review (Ravens): More and more disappointing

10 Nov 2007 09:41:35 PST

Written by Kirkendall
It's now to the point that many Bengals fans expect the team to lose. And not in the waning moments of the game. Here's a brief template of games this season. Bengals defense allows other team to score, a lot, and the Bengals offense is stuck forcing plays that are just not there.

Opinion: Chatting with Brian about the Bengals game against Buffalo

31 Oct 2007 09:10:13 PDT

Written by Kirkendall
Brian: The Bengals' RB situation seems a bit different to me because Cincinnati has already made a contractual investment in Rudi. He's been effective in his time as a Bengal, and he'll continue to start - and he deserves to do so. I feel similarly about Losman - he had a strong 2006 season, and...

Offensively the Bengals moved the ball well against the league’s number one defense. Kenny Watson ran for 88 yards, the offensive line provided good protection and Carson didn’t force passes. Unfortunately, due to gutless calls, key drops (Chad use your hands not your body) and a cost...

Opinion: Bengals should trade Chad Johnson? Hold on... wait.

04 Oct 2007 17:40:30 PDT

Written by Kirkendall
Maybe the Bengals should trade Chad Johnson. Hold on. Of course, there are complicating issues -- the Bengals would be without a legit No. 2, there's not guarantee Houshmazilly would be as successful as a No. 1, and Chad Johnson, warts and all, is one of the league's best wideouts.
