Welcome To The Jungle!

See I'm one of those rare fans that loves the preseason. I understand that when I'm watching football I'm watching privileged men, play a child's game. I think all that once the season starts all that gets lost. During the preseason you get the chance to evaluate your talent, you get to watch all the passion, and heat that these players leave on the field, because there fighting for there life, there careers, to have the chance to provide for there families in a way that only a few can. I do have expectations like every one else, so therefore there are a few things I'm going to be looking for. First and most importantly I want to see how Carson Palmer will do when getting hit, it's been 313 days, that's right, October fifth was the last time Palmer has been put on his back. Bengals go only as far as Palmer goes, knowing this I'm also curious to not only see how the offensive line holds up, but how it holds up with 1st round draft pick RT Andre Smith. Another head scratcher will be to see if the Bengals will line up DT Jason Shirley at the Guard position. Now to what the preseason is for evaluating talent,the last two April's we spent a few draft picks on the offensive side of the ball. So how will second year receivers like Andre Caldwell, Jerome Simpson, and Mo Purify do? Can they be the future ? We also know that Cedric Bensonis our number one back, tbt the number two is still up in the air so can new comer Brian Lenard capture itor will the rookie speedster out of Abaline-Christian steal the show. The winning championship side of the ballis the defence, can you say " Thank you Pete Carol." AKA Rey Maualuga and Keith River. we all know that Rey is the future leader of the D, it will be interesting to see how he will run the middle of the field. We will see tonight so for all you Bengal Haters "Child Please!"
