Prior to last season I made the statement that the Bengals should switch to a 3-4 base defense. My argument was that they had more depth and talent at linebacker so it would be more affective in the pass rush.   In years past, the Bengals pass rush has been nonexistent, which was partially the reason they have never been a dominating team.   They were inconsistent, and their strong point used to be ...

Last season the Bengals lived and died by the run, and they lucked out enough to make it to the playoffs with a fourth ranked offense.   The only time Carson Palmer and his receiving core were effective were right before half-time, and in game winning drives.   That inconsistency is what cost them a chance to win a playoff game facing a team that had the same philosophy, but executed it with perfection ...

When you look at the latest Mock Drafts they have interesting choices for the Cincinnati Bengals with their number one pick in the NFL Draft. They have Cincy picking USC Safety Taylor Mays with their first round selection.   After having so many issues with the offensive passing game this past season and so many talented receivers out there in the draft should the Bengals make this selection?   I think that if the ...

He just came off a monster sophomore season where he rushed for 1,609 yards, which was a Ohio State rushing record for a sophomore. á He hurt his foot in the Buckeyes season opener last year. This injury plagued the Buckeyes as they went down without a fight against USC, and it plagued him ...

The Arizona Cardinals haven’t been known to be a running team as of late. The last time they had a 1,000-yard runner was in 2007 with Edgerrin James. That season, the Cardinals were a mediocre 8-8 team. Last season, they were brought to the playoffs on Kurt Warner’s 4,583 passing yards. They still barely got into the playoffs with nine wins, and it wasn’t until they found out how to establish the ...
