My 2 are center and the LBs

I believe Robinson takes the starting Center job, Im not sure it will be improved
I don't have much faith at all that Maualuga will be any better

we know that Maualuga will be dead awful, what we don't know is whether or not the coaches will admit it.

With all the potential we have at the RB position this season, they will still keep Bernard Scott around, and he will continue to slow down.

Somehow, some way, with all the potential we have a WR, the Bengals will fight to find ways to get Ryan Whalen and Brandon Tate the ball.

if Andy Dalton or AJ Green gets injured... might as well turn off the tv.

Dalton and Dalton.

This team cannot win with Dalton, actually. Damn shame.

1) Kramer's lack of optimism.

2) That they can't get enough Gatorade in the greater Cincinnati area to allow players to "grab a cold one for the road".

They can. He's a poor man's Matt Hasselbeck. Problem is that they need to build one of the better teams in the NFL around him...which they are doing a good job of doing. Ultimately Marvin is too inept to really have any major success.

With Sanu, Eifert and Bernard to take pressure off Green, I think Dalton's going to have good year. He's played well for a young QB. He has a limited arm and misses on a throw here or there, but overall he's good.

Lewis is by far my biggest concern. In the two biggest games of the yr (Pitt in Pitt, the Houston wildcard game) he made a bunch of wtf moves.. the worst in-game coach in the league.. he's lucky to coach for a small market team with complacent ownership... I don't think he'd last a season in NY

The overall talent of the team is as good as I can remember. So I'm going with more of a potential issue, than something that's an issue now. OT has been a strength, but Whitworth is getting long in the tooth. Andre Smith could lose focus and motivation (ie get fat) in a non-contract yr. I wouldn't say it's a weakness, but it's a concern

Lack of depth in the secondary, starting with the SS position and lack of playmaking ability out of the corners. As good as the DL might be again this year, it doesn't help if you can't cover someone long enough for someone to get to the QB.

Marvin Lewis.
