I figured I would start a thread for me to post about (mainly to myself) my Bengals.

I'm pretty friggin stoked about having one of the all-time great corners come and coach up our cornerbacks. Even though we have in my opinion the best cornerback tandem in the NFL, both Leon Hall and Jonathan Joesph are young guys that can still improve.
I won't lie, I agree with Woodson on some of the other things he said in the interview about the team. We do have the capability of being one of the best defenses in the NFL, and we do have a lot of pieces to the puzzle.
Our passing game was stagnant last year, and while Palmer was not as good as he was in years past, I still believe him to be a good QB. With the offensive line getting another year to gel and an influx of talent at the receiving position, I do expect him to have a great year.
By that I don't mean a massive TD and yardage total. I do expect him to be above average across the board in all stat categories, minus completion percentage. For completition percentage I expect him to challenge for the lead in starting QB's. He will have a WR in Ochocinco who is still one of the best in the league, a massive TE in Gresham, Antonio Bryant and Jordan Shipley. Those threats coupled with the running game that we have should be able to let us have favorable matchups against most defenses.
