In an effort to come to terms with the fact that there is no game to get ready for this weekend, I’m trying not to panic by resorting to offseason-like blogging measures.

Thus far, this season has been awesome, and the greatest part is that team is just starting to get some serious chemistry.  The sky’s the limit.  So what can the Bengals do to continue to improve?  Well, apparently they’re doing their best to keep the legs fresh and the cupboard full.

On Monday, the Bengals hosted several players for tryouts.  Maybe they’re doing their due diligence in an effort to prepare for the unknown. OR, maybe they are in fact planning to make a move.  Pressley vactated a spot on the Practice Squad, but the most glaringly obvious pickup would be a Tight-End.  Dan Coats is a wonderful blocker in pass protection, but he simply can’t catch.  If he does manage to pull one down, no sooner than you can say "First Down", the ball’s on the carpet.  (Lucky 3rd and 34 conversion notwithstanding)

n looking over the list of the players that visited for tryouts, I for one think Tony Curtis could be rocking orange come next week.  We all know that the Bengals were willing to give up future draft pick/s to acquire Martellus Bennett.  Therefore, it's safe to assume that they're willing to part ways with somebody, right?  Also, some if not most of us are patient enough to understand Chase Coffman needs more time developing as a blocker.  If Coats is more of a liability to this offense in the passing game than asset in protection/blocking, why keep him?  Plus, Curtis spent the first half of the season in Baltimore, which could provide useful playbook information to our defense. (See Willie Anderson last year).
