Bengals.com Web Gure  Geoff Hobson has just tweeted the rest of the Jersey Numbers assigned to the rookies. Clipped from: twitter.com Rest of Bengals rookies have Nos. assigned: Moch 52, Boling 65, Sands 49, Whalen 88, Lindsey 38, Finley 33. Join Green 18 and Dalton 14 My biggest question is how long these numbers stick. Typically by now FA’s already happened and more jersey numbers are available. So if say, we don’t resign Roy Williams (just an example),  I won’t be shocked if Lindsey or Sands switched to 31. **Update Tweeted with Cincy Jungle Editor Josh Kirkendall and Cincinnati Enquirer Joe [...]

After the Draft like most fans I tend to get all excited and “drink the Koolaid” if you will. Well this year I’m drinking it by the punch bowl. The Bengals have exceeded my hopes in this draft, and I’m even more hyped up after seeing Mel Kiper Jr. even bought into this draft. When you’re a fan for a team that may not give you much hope during the season, draft always gives a fan a lot to excited about. But for some reason this draft seems different to me. This draft seems to be what needed to happen; [...]

Did anyone think at this point last year that we would be in this situation this year? We all of the sudden may be looking at a completely new Offense. Carson wants out…..Chad is working on that exit ticket……T.O. is a free agent. Everyone was talking playoffs and championships. Now barely one year later we are just hoping for 8-8 and a win or two against the Steelers. Here is a quick peek into the future of our new look Offense. QB- Palmer took a lot of blame last year for a lot of different things. Some were his fault, [...]

Hey there may be no football in fall, but at least they’re #Winning. ESPN has already had their “Draft experts” rank all the picks made in the draft and give their takes. Kiper ranked every NFL team and only 2 teams were given A’s. Those teams being the Detroit Lions and the Cincinnati Bengals. When grading teams Kiper broke down the grading the teams he had to main grading scales. He ranked their ability to address need, ex you really needed a pass rusher and you only brought in WR’s and DB’s; don’t expect to get a high grade. The [...]

Alright everyone I gave you my [quick] take on the day 1 and day 2 players drafted.  The next next guys on the list to talk about would be day 3 draftees. Which consists of: Clint Boling OG Georgia Robert “Sandman” Sands S WVU Ryan Whalen WR Stanford Korey Lindsey CB SIU Jay Finley RB Baylor

There’s no such thing as a luxury draft. They don’t exist. You’re always looking for ways to improve your football team. And if you look hard enough, even if you are the 1985 Chicago Bears, you will find a need.  Sometimes it’s easier to see needs than others; you don’t even have to look. But in the 2011 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals didn’t just have needs. They had EMERGENCIES!!!

Hey everyone, C. Byers here.   I’d like to announce the new series over next week about the evaluation and breakdown of each player. Every year the Bengals draft some players that may not be common household names. Or for some of us, names that just don’t happen to play in the Big 10, so you’re unfamiliar. So starting Monday I plan on breaking down each one of our picks. A.J. Green WR Georgia. #18 Andy Dalton QB TCU #14 Dontay Moch LB Nevada #52 Clint Boling  OG Georgia Robert Sands S West Virgina Ryan Whalen WR Stanford Korey Lindsey [...]
