-Dan_Bengals_FL- Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Yeah, it's got to suck when you have to focus on other teams records rather than your own, because you know your team is only gonna win three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle1 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The Browns site also included an overview of the Bengals..... [url="http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news_room/news/arts/4368.0.html"]http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news_room/n...rts/4368.0.html[/url] Looking ahead: The Bengals By Zac Jackson, Staff Writer July 6, 2005 In the first of a three-part look at the Browns' AFC North rivals, ClevelandBrowns.com examines the Bengals' offseason moves and prospects for 2005 as the season draws nearer. The Bengals visit Cleveland to open the season on Sept. 11. The Browns visit Cincinnati on Dec. 11. BUILDING BLOCKS The Bengals have a young and talented offense that exploded in the second half of 2004, scoring at least 23 points in each of the last six weeks of the season. Quarterback Carson Palmer enters his second year as the starter with a 1,400-yard rusher (Rudi Johnson) behind him and one of the game's most dynamic receivers (Chad Johnson) on the perimeter. Cornerback Tory James joined Chad Johnson and veteran offensive tackle Willie Anderson on the AFC's Pro Bowl roster, and second-year defensive back Madieu Williams looks like a rising star as well. Outside linebacker Brian Simmons is the veteran leader of the front seven. The kicking game - a longtime problem for Cincinnati - was greatly improved last season as Shayne Graham connected on 27-of-31 field goal tries. 2005 FIXES A slow start and porous defense kept the Bengals out of the playoffs last season - the last two seasons, really. Maturity and experience should help the slow start problem, though it won't be easy with four of their first six games away from home. The defense got a makeover, starting with the hiring of new defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan. Cincinnati spent its first two draft picks on linebackers, added veteran defensive tackle Bryan Robinson through free agency, and shifted a handful of players to new positions. IN THE TRENCHES The Bengals have experience and continuity on their offensive line, and it shows when Palmer has time to throw the deep ball. Anderson and emerging fourth-year man Levi Jones anchor the O-line at the tackle spots; athletic guard Eric Steinbach hopes to beat the injury bug and make his third pro season his best. On the other side of the ball, Justin Smith has been moved to left end, and veteran tackle John Thornton has been moved to the right side. Robinson was added in free agency to play the other tackle spot, and there are high hopes for athletic second year end Robert Geathers. The Bengals are hopeful they'll find the right mix of athleticism and experience to provide depth and upgrade from last year's performance. NEW FACES The Bengals selected Georgia linebackers David Pollack and Odell Thurman with their first two draft picks. Pollack, an ultra-productive defensive end in college, will start at outside linebacker opposite Simmons this fall. Pollack has dropped weight and will be tested in pass coverage, but he's a great athlete with a nose for the football. Landon Johnson has been named the starting middle linebacker heading into camp, but Thurman has enough ability to change that decision as the season draws closer. Robinson is the team's lone "name" free agent pickup. In Marvin Lewis' third year at the helm, he'll be counting on several of his own draft picks to elevate their play as their roles are expanded. That group includes second-year defensive back Keiwan Ratliff, second-year running back Chris Perry, and third-year receiver Kelley Washington. FIVE KEYS TO SUCCESS 1. Palmer has talent and a big arm. He'll need to take better care of the ball and improve on his 18-18 touchdown-to-interception ratio. 2. Keep the receivers happy. T.J. Houshmandzadeh signed a contract extension after catching 73 passes last season. Peter Warrick is still in the mix and hopes to be healthy, Washington caught 31 passes last year, and the Bengals drafted two receivers as well: Chris Henry in the third round and Tab Perry in the sixth. 3. A big season out of Smith, who had 28 sacks in his first four seasons, is both expected and necessary for the Bengals to improve on the 8-8 mark they've posted in each of the last two seasons. 4. It's cliché, but it's so important in the AFC North: Run the ball and stop the run. Rudi Johnson has proven his worth the last two seasons; the Bengals' rookie linebackers will be tested early and often. 5. Win in the division. The AFC North will be one of the most competitive divisions in football, and Cincinnati will need to improve on its 2-4 divisional mark from last year if it hopes to reach the postseason.
