Bengals Palmer Out for Browns Game w/ Sore Elbow

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:19:33 -0500

The odds of the Browns beating the Bengals here in Cincinnati today just went up a great deal, as the Bengals are placing Carson Palmer on the list as their third QB, meaning he will only play in an emergency role. Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the start for the Bengals. Palmer was placed on the [...]

Cincinnati Bengals (Stripe Hype)

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:49:44 -0500

After an injury-filled 7-9 season in 2007, the Bengals are looking to return to the postseason for the first time since 2005. The good news for Bengals fans is that the team is healthier than it's been in some time, has rid itself of off-field distractions such as wide receiver Chris Henry and linebacker Odell Thurman, and new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer has brought an edge and urgency to the beleaguered defense. The bad news is that on defense, the team's front seven lacks play...

AFTERNOON THOUGHTS

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:10:53 -0500

Here are my quick thoughts of the day....

...If Favre does this retirement deal, he will lose many loyal supporters. MANY....

...The Arizona Cards signed OT Kelly Butler today. Butler had been with the Lions and the Browns. He has talent, but has never loved the game. This is his last chance, he needs to make it work....

...Arizona claimed and was awarded OC Pat Ross from the Panthers. The Cards must have a ton of injuries in their offensive line....

...No one claimed Mike Williams of the Titans. That was not difficult to predict....

...Shawn Andrews has a website stating he is available for motivational speeches. He might need to give one to himself....

...Detroit signed two centers today. One of them is Andy McCollum, formerly of the Rams. The Lions must have problems at center right now. I signed Andy 14 years ago from the Arena League 2. He has had one hell of a career.

...The only thing keeping Ahmad Bradshaw from making a lot of money in this league will be his off-the-field conduct....

...I have been hearing that the Ravens offensive line was bad before all the injuries. What does that tell you?

...Even though Fabian Washington will have to serve a one-game suspension, I think the Ravens did a smart thing trading for him. With both starting corners over 30, they need some youth in the secondary. By the way, this might be the first time many Raven players have been in a hard-hitting NFL camp. Under Brian Billick, camp was not tough.

...I think DT Red Bryant of Seattle is going to be a very good player. I know he just got hurt, but this time next year he will be a bear to block....

...Speaking of DTs, the Bengals' Pat Sims can really be a load. He has great talent and will give Cincy a physical player inside. He just needs to have a football-first mentality....

Off-Season Run Down: Part 1 (Bengals)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:15:05 -0500

The Bengals have certainly been in the news often this off-season for a number of reasons. Both Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh have expressed their displeasure over their current contracts and at one point it looked as if both were going to skip the team's mini-camp. The team also released oft-troubled WR Chris Henry and LB Odell Thurman - call it addition by subtraction - but both are gifted players who were looked to help the team contend again this coming season. Cincinnati faile...

Fbkid's AFC North draft grades

Sun, 04 May 2008 11:42:50 -0500

The draft is now over so it is time to grade the teams to see how they did in the draft. I will be grading the teams and doing them by division. The first installment is the AFC North which is one of the toughest divisions in football. All of these teams have had great success building through the draft so it should be interesting to see who gets the best grade. Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens should be happy with their draft as they traded down and got the guy they wanted in Joe Flacco. The...

Fbkid's Final 2008 NFL Mock Draft Two Rounds

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:20:59 -0500

With the draft only two days away we've already seen lots of first round mocks. (I've posted 4 myself) Most include the same 31 players, shuffled in different order. However there are a lot of other great players on war-room boards and any GM and fan will tell you that some of the best picks are made after the first round. So if the first round alone isn't enough for you, here's how the rest of the first day might develop. Round One: 1. Miami Dolphins: Jake Long T ...

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 09:44:18 -0500

NFL College Draft Projections ROUND 2 By Gary Hartman, The Fantasy Sports Forum.com 32. Miami Dolphins- Gosder Cherilus OT, Boston College The Dolphins can use that O-Line centerpiece and get a steal in Cherilus here. 33. St. Louis Rams- Brandon Flowers CB, Va Tech The Rams can really use depth and youth at corner. 34. Atlanta Falcons- Joe Flacco QB, Delaware They get their QB that they are extremely high on, to be their future starter. 35. Kansas City Chiefs- Sam Baker OT, USC Get the 1st rd talent OT they are looking for. 36. New York Jets- Lawrence Jackson DE, USC A big steal here for the Jets, as they get the big time pass rusher they desperately need. 37.

Baltimore Ravens- Tracy Porter CB, Indiana Need that corner that will eventually replace the Rolle and McCalister. 39. San Francisco 49er's- Early Doucet WR, LSU A bit of a reach, but they really need wide outs and he is next best avaliable. 40.

Buffalo Bills- Terrell Thomas CB, USC Versatile secondary player that can bring a some youth and talent to the position. 42.
