I agree that the Bengals need lots of help up front. I originally was not sold on most of this o-line class and thought the Bengals might want to add a skill guy early and see what they could get up front in later rounds since Jason Smith will most likely be off the board, but the more I look at it I think Virginia’s Eugene Monroe should be a solid pick. Thanks for your input.

The bengals biggest need is off tackle.In the last few years they have lost Willie Anderson, and Stacey Adrews.Levi Jones cant stay healthy.You cant let Palmer keep getting killed.We saw what happened last year without him.If any of the top tackle is there when the Bengals pick,they should take hom.

Distractions are never good for a team, especially from veteran players who are supposed to be the example for the young guys coming in. Nobody’s perfect so I can understand giving a guy a second chance, but when there continues to be problems it is apparent that the player is more worried about other things than helping the team win football games. It takes discipline and focus to be a successful team and it appears the aforementioned lack it. I don’t think Hall is a bad guy, but he made a bad choice. I think this will be a make or break season for the Bengals. If they break, the new blood needs to come pouring in.

Do you think the Cincinnati bengals should trade Chad Johnson, Leon Hall and Chris Henry because all these guys are troblemakers? (chad’s not really a trouble maker but he doesnt want to play for us).

It’s hard to speculate what the Bengals want to do with Chad Johnson and how much they will tap into the free agency market. Once a problem child always a problem child in my book in reference to Johnson and he’s not going to be happy unless the team starts winning. I think the Steelers could go with Mack or Duke Robinson, who would aid their running game. And to answer your question, Mack definitely looks to be the best center prospect in this year’s draft.

You know, I think chad Ocho Cinco has been quiet and not a problem child, now last year, I agree Chad was a problem. Was the story about trading chad to the raiders a rumor?…And do you think Alex Mack is the best center? I heard the steelers might get him with the 32nd pick in the 1st round. Who else do you think the bengals might get out of free agency? I mean theres some good players like Marvin Harrison, Julius Peppers and I heard Roy Williams, the safety from dallas was interested in cincy because he liked Zimmer.

While defensive back isn’t the Bengals’ biggest need, I actually think getting a local guy like Jenkins would be a safe and solid pick. I think he could eventually move to safety and be an impact player there, much the same way Bob Sanders has been for the Colts. I’m not sure what needs to be done from a coaching stand point. Schottenheimer has been good virtually everywhere he’s been, but hasn’t been able to win the big one. It does appear that some kind of coaching change needs to be made though.

I thought of you as soon as I heard the news last night. You may have jinxed them.

I have one random question, do you think if Marvin Lewis was fired from the bengals next year, which will probabily happen. Do you think a replacement like Marty Schottenheimer would be a good pick up? uhh I hear he was a great coach when he coached the chargers???
