Bengals follow the path of the underdog; The Big Whit 77... and Santonio Holmes compared to Ochocinco?

"With the three wide receivers they have (Chad Ochocinco, Laveranues Coles and Chris Henry) and the quarterback they have, they can be as exciting as the Cardinals offensively if they get things rolling right."
- Boomer Esiason on the 2009 Bengals possibly following the path of the 2008 Arizona Cardinals.

Andrew Whitworth formed the Big Whit 77 Foundation, which is a: "non-profit organization that will be dedicated to mentoring youth, giving financial assistance to families with sick children and aiding in fostering and adopting children in northeast Louisiana."

James Walker posts reader comments, debating Bengals vs. the Browns. "Eric Mangini. He has better talent in the trenches to work with than the Bengals, and he's already keeping his team in check more than Marvin Lewis has in his half-decade of coaching the Bengals." Good start with the Connecticut trip. The entire team was totally on board with that.

But I still think that Chad Johnson is the better option compared to Santonio Holmes. And it's not because he's a Steeler -- Holmes is also an Ohio State Buckeye so I like the guy. Think of it this way. Johnson had a career low season, injuries, bad offseason regiment and far older. What does that say about Holmes when we're coming him to a guy on the back-end of his career, six years older that lacked little motivation and dealt with injuries throughout 2008? Sorry. Johnson comes back to averages and it smokes Holmes -- pun, totally intended.

I read that comparison of Bengals vs. Browns and they actually said that Browns had the advantage because they were a defensive minded team. Really? Is my memory somehow blocking the last 3 years of great Brows defenses out of my head? Were we not about 15 raks higher than them on D last year?

Come on, remember week 4

Remember how last years Cleveland defense forced the usually reliable Chris Perry to fumble the ball. They only had 3 days to prepare for the uber talented Ryan Fitzpatrick, but they intercepted him 3 times, sacked him 3 times and forced a fumble. They held the worst offense in the league to 12 points. There defense led them to that huge win that almost allowed them to finish in third place.

Maybe you are forgetting

The advantages of having not one but 2 starting QBs.

According to the Mangenious, he doesn’t seem to think either can start! But in my opinion QB is the least of their worries. They lost their # 2,3,and 4 receivers this offseason. Their RB can’t possibly have any gas left in the tank. I think they will have an above average O-Line and an above average QB (if Quinn starts). Defense is another issue. Giving them credit for making Chris Perry look bad is not a compliment. With the exception od S. Rodgers, they were bad. Not KC or Denver bad, but bad. I have many friends that are huge Cleveland fans and they not remotly looking forward to this season at all. Some are saying they may take a fanhood leave of absence for a year or two. No Lie.
