haha........... fair enough, fair enough. If you get a chance, some say hi, I'm usually down by the offense's practice, but it's only about a hundred yard field, so just walk along the fan line if you can and say hi:thumpsup:

Today was amazing, Palmer threw seeds like nobody's business, it was beautiful. Defense actually looked solid already. They were switching in O'Neal, Ratliff, and Hall at corner. Joseph wasn't there, rehabbing his broken foot I assume, but O'Neal and Hall were both rotating in at nickel back in some defenses, so maybe they're thinking of playing O'Neal at nickel on passing downs or Hall at corner all the time, but it's hard to tell without Joseph there. Marvin White looked good at safety, and so did Dexter Jackson, and Ndukwe and TJ Wright looked decent, if not good. The linebackers looked nasty, they have me pumped about the defense's ability up front, and the d-linemen looked good too.

Man, I hope they are as good as you're reporting them to be. It sounds as if the entire defense has stepped it up a notch. You're not seeing all this through orange-colored glasses, are you?

Oh well, I don't care. This is the time of year for eternal optimism about the Bengals "D"!
