So this may be one of the more ridiculous posts of the year but I really am excited and sitting at, or watch the first game every year one thing I tend to notice is the first offensive play of the year. In seasons past we've done different things, go for the home run right away, pound it up the middle to set a tempo, or mabye a trick play, play action, delayed screen?
My opinion is the first play we run is a bubble screen to the often unforgotten Antonio Bryant. This play, similar to the one the Texans ran against us on their first offensive play last year to Andre Johnson for 59 yards. Now I know A bryant is nowhere near the player of A Johnson but I can see Antonio Bryant being the recipiant of alot of bubble screens and short passes this year. It's something we've never really done as a team and he's the perfect player for it. Throw in some screens for Bernard Scott and we've got alot more big play opportunity at little risk.

Antonio...
I think Antonio could possibly reap the awards of Chad and T.O. more than anyone.. I mean obviously with a team like the Jets who may have two cornerbacks that can compete with Chad and T.O. that leaves Antonio Bryant with a nickel back and I’m sure he’s use to playing people of higher talent’s coming from being the number 1 guy in Tampa.. I have a feeling he’d have a field day with a match up like that and I think Carson would see that immediately and expose the m!@#fing crap out of it..
First play will be Benson
off tackle right.
The Bengals are still a run first team. Establish the run and play the play-action off of it. Not a lot of three receiver sets unless the distance/down demands it.
The run is what this offensive line is built to do. The pass protection was reasonable but Palmer only did 3 and 5 step drops. He didn’t have time to go down field.
Fortunately, T.O. is still a very good blocker and helps with the screens as well.
Go deep and go for it all on the first play.
To symbolize that we have been making big signings and are going for it all this year.

hahahahaha
delayed-shovel pass….anyways it wouldn’t work, the first play won’t be a 3rd and long situation
it comes down to mind over matter....if you don't mind, it won't matter
No Huddle
I see them going for it early and often this year. They were at their best when Palmer was airing it out with 3 WR sets and pounding it with Rudi. Benson’s a lot more explosive and the Defense is a lot stingier, which would result in quite a few more scoring opportunities.

What if we start the year on defense?
I say we go with an all-out blitz (and I’m not talking about 8, I’M TALKING ABOUT ALL 11 BABY) and break Brady in half.
