  • As much as I hate TO, this is not good for us. TO is going to have Carson Palmer throwing to him and Ocho Dinko playing on the other side of the field. Our secondary better eat their Wheaties before lining up across from the Bungles this year. I really wish we would have made at least some attempt to sign a legit veteran receiver to mentor some of our young pups this season. Right now we have a guy who threw 83 INTs and 2 TDs last year trying to throw to guys that are still learning to run routes. This does not inspire much confidence in our passing attack this season. Oh wait...MCCOY"S OUR SAVIOOOOOOUR!

    Bobby Engram is a vet...but i see what you're saying. can't do it all overnight, gotta afford some time to develop.

    now if Mass and Robo never turn the corner...THEN i'll be IRATE. but so far they seem to be on pace imo.

    this T.O. thing could go either way. kinda like Ocho, T.O. has really grown on me. i don't mind the guy and am glad he finally found a team. it'll be an interesting AFCN sub-plot if nothing else.

  • TO was a non entity the last few years . We handled him nocely last year so what is the concern ?

    some may be concerned because they are factoring in Palmer, in 2009 the Bengals established a running game for the 1st time in forever, and that he has Ocho across from him>>>who do you double team etc? = pick your poison.

    he's had none of those things while he's been quiet these past few.

    One of the huge mistakes the Bengals made was letting Houshmanzadah walk. TO may not be what he was, but he's still better than anything the Browns have- and if he can keep his ego in check, he's a more than adequate #2 guy. Add in the the talk around Cintucky is Gresham the TE they picked up in the first round this year looks like the real deal- The Bengals haven't had a legit player at that position in like forever. Yeah, and the Stripers defense isn't looking 1\2 bad either- their secondary is actually quite good. So hate to say it, if the stars align properly- this could be the year the Bengals make their once in a decade SB run. IMHO it will depend if their below average O-line can keep Palmer in one piece all year.

  • Nice to see the Bengals still remain the only team in the NFL with integrity

    So integrity is giving guys second, third, fourth, and sometimes fifth chances?

    I would think its exactly the opposite. Integrity towards your morals has everything to do with drawing a line as to how many and to whom you give chances.

  • i don't think it's cincy's year at all. every interview i've heard with carson palmer since his injury is that of "someone is going to get killed one of these days palying qb." doesn't sound to confident to me. and if signing T.O. swings their offense away from the run and more to a throwing team, expect to see alot of balls being tossed out of bounds or fumbles from palmer. i hate to say this: the ravens look like the team to beat in this division. with the acquisition of boldin and the unshakiness of flacco............i'm just saying. i hope we're all wrong and the browns come out of nowhere. our qb has to step way up from his most recent performances for that to happen though.

  • T.O. Tweet

    Ocho Uno is coming 2 town!! Hey Robin, Batman will b there soon!

    T.O. implying that Chad Ocho Cinco is Robin to his Batman.......there off to a good start I see.

    It's actually Chad that started calling TO Batman.

    This signing isn't anything the Browns have to worry about though. It's not like you're legitimately competing anyway.

    Just be glad you're not the cellar dweller of the division anymore. Make sure to throw any remaining Hot Pockets down into the basement for the Steelers.

  • in an interview I heard ocho say it was going to be like bonnie and clyde , and TO was bonnie . 😁

    More than likely they'll keep Shipley and Briscoe but I liked both of them guys in this past draft and I'm sure McCoy would love to have Shipley. They could let Bryant go Matt Jones even Caldwell or Simpson who haven't lived up to there draft slot yet. Nobody know's who'll they ship out, it'll be interesting to see and considering what we have I'd take a look at almost any of them

    Let Antonio Bryant go? Did you watch football outside of Cleveland last season or the season before? They just signed him to relatively big money and he lived up to his draft stock when he was with Tampa Bay. Last year I believe he was banged up. The year before he had something like 1300 yards. He's certainly not going anywhere. No idea on Caldwell or Simpson I just know each were drafted relatively high.

    The Bengals released WR Antonio Bryant Sunday after signing him to a $28 million contract this offseason.
