Anyone else remember Bennie "and his jets" Brazell? A guy who was a glorified track star that the Bengals drafted in the late rounds (seventh, I think?) has us all aflutter about the guy's potential. Guys, a few short years ago THAT'S what we were excited about.

I think it's pretty gorram telling that now we have a team that has been in the playoffs for two of the past three years, and we're excited about draftees like Dre Kirkpatrick, Kevin Zeitler, Devon Still, Orson Charles, Brandon Thompson, Marvin Jones and George Iloka. These players are being added into the mix with players like Andy Dalton. AJ Green. Geno Atkins. Carlos Dunlap. Michael Johnson. Jermaine Gresham. Andrew Whitworth. Not to mention our free agent acquisitions this year.

Man. What a turnaround. This team is going to make some serious noise this year, and you can take that to the bank.
