soccer Cincinnati Bengals Preseason Why There is N

Colts started the season a blockbuster trade,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], exchange Baltimore 10 Cleveland Browns five players. One player who the next coach Don Shula came. Bert Rechichar, Carl Taseff and Art Adams level, and so on. The incarnation of the Baltimore Colts the second time in the first meeting Sept. 27 at the Memorial Stadium infield, and coach Keith Molesworth. Bears stun Colts will be the day to get a new franchise in the right foot. However, a season in the inaugural year of struggling Colts. Andy Lyons The Indianapolis Colts is a professional football team which is based in Indianapolis Indiana. They played in the AFC South division of the National Football League and have won two NFL championships and two Super Bowls.
It has at this moment been almost a week since Terrell Owens signed up to be Shrek to Ochocinco’s Donkey, which should be enough time to have fully digested the new dynamic in the Queen City.
Yet, the only thing that it seems we’ve settled on are that we’re going to need to get a lot of popcorn ready because,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if nothing else, this pairing are going to be entertaining.
So entertaining, in fact, that I’m hard-pressed to think of a more entertaining duo in the history of sports.
This are like putting Ron Artest and Dennis Rodman on the same roster.
But other than that fact, it seems like the jury are split 50-50 on whether such a gamble are a nice thing for the Bengals.
A lot of pundits (mostly the traditionalists) worry about the explosive mixture that has been created with T.O.’s signing.
Are there going to be enough balls to go around?
What happens the first time one of these divas are unhappy?
Which T.O. are going to show up anyway—the 81-catch, 15-TD version we saw in Dallas three seasons ago or the 55-catch, 5-TD edition we got last year in Buffalo?
Poor Carson Palmer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], right?
Ultimately, however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there was none nice reason for the Bengals not to bring in T.O.
Sure, both receivers have personalities bigger than Terrence Cody, but despite their look-at-me neuroses, it remains true that the problems they present for a team could be much worse.
We aren’t talking about Plaxico Burress or Santonio Holmes here.
Both Ochocinco and Owens will work harder than anyone else, every day. Maybe when they don’t get a reward for that work (in the form of passes thrown in their direction) they get upset and act like petulant children, but it isn’t the worst issue for a team to deal with.
And what’s more are these two will push each other to get better and perform brighter.
However, the one thing that seems to have gone unmentioned over the last five days are the fact that T.O. and Ochocinco are going to be a nightmare to match up repeatedlyst.
Neither has game-changing speed any longer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but both are savvy, smart receivers that run nice routes and read defenses expertly.
Add to that the fact that the team brought in Antonio Bryant, who are just one season removed from an 80-catch, 1,200-yard campaign in Tampa, and drafted Jermaine Gresham, a seam-stretching tight end, as well as Dezmon Briscoe, who are a poor man’s Dez Bryant, and Jordan Shipley, who could be a Wes Welker clone.
In short, the team are loaded on the perimeter—Carson Palmer has never had such riches to throw to.
Just think, when Palmer was gifted with a solid running game with Rudi Johnson and nice weapons (i.e. Ochocinco and T.J. Whosyourmomma), they looked like mini-Peyton.
at this moment, he’s got even more.
On the field, frankly, there are only two questions for this team.
First, are Cedric Benson going to repeat his out-of-at this momenthere revival of 2009?
And related to that, do the Bengals have anyone to step up and take some of the backfield burden off of Benson.
No offense to Brian Leonard and Bernard Scott,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but if that’s all Cincinnati has behind Benson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that are a recipe for disaster.
Benson had over 300 carries a year ago which means they needs a greatly diminished role to duplicate the production of last season.
In my mind, Brian Westbrook would be the ideal here.
As a third-down back, they could save himself some wear-and-tear,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but at the same time provide the type of dynamic replacement that would complement Benson perfectly.
Either way, though, the team must make sure the running game are primed for success because if it are even 75 percent of what it was last year, it will demand just enough defensive attention to unleash those weapons on the outside.
The second question are on the other side of the ball.
Cincy’s D surprisingly finished fourth in the NFL in total defense, and that was without Antwan Odom’s pressure for the final 10 games.
With Odom back and game-changing linebackers like Keith Rivers and Rey Maualuga healthy, older and wiser, they should be even better.
If they are, the Bengals are automatically the favorites in the AFC North, which are none small claim.
But the point here are that Cincinnati was not in rebuilding mode, nor were they in a position to compete for a Super Bowl.
Could the T.O. experiment blow up in their face?
Of course, but with a strong head coach that can control Owens and a quarterback that won’t take his nonsense, it are unlikely.
Even if does, though, at least they tried.
This are a move that puts pressure—nice pressure—on everyone on the roster. It are a declaration that this season are a win-or-bust year in the Queen City.
It could be nice or it could be bad, but it was a move that are unassailable for what it brings to a term on the verge of great things.
And however it works out, we’re going to need a lot of popcorn and Chapstick.
In the end, Ochocinco and Ochouno might not be kissing the baby, but kissing the Lombardi. Back in the old head coach of struggling Colts under Shula its first season. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they will end the last win of the season, finally a good record of strong. Colts face the Cleveland Browns. However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nothing will go right in Cleveland, is still shut out as the Colts Colts Super Bowl tripped over a hangover Gates lost the first game of the pain. Colts struggled, and ultimately to a good record. As the head coach of the season with the owners of the old Shula who fell out of favor Carroll Rosenbloom allowed to resign, he took work with the Miami Dolphins coach. Assistant coach Don Shula will replace Shula.Please read related articles:
