For our latest roundtable, I was joined by Anthony Cosenza, Brennen Warner and Ryan Harper as we discussed PFF's most improves player and biggest decline for a player, the Pro Bowl and how the NFL can fix it and the Super Bowl.

Enjoy.

Jason G. Pro Football Focus said that the most improved player from 2010 to 2011 was Andre Smith and the player that declined the most was Jerome Simpson. What are your thoughts on those two players and would you pick somebody else?

Though there have been some recent rumblings about a potential injury issue with Alabama safety Mark Barron, it's been kept relatively quiet. It was briefly talked about during Senior Bowl week that Barron had a sports hernia that he required surgery to repair it. The recovery time on this type of injury and subsequent surgery is 4-6 weeks.

It appears that the injury is a bit more severe than initially thought. According to www.draftinsider.net, Barron actually had a double hernia and had double surgery to repair the issues. The recovery period on this type of procedure is usually 6-8 weeks.

Russ Lande of The Sporting News is known as one of the preeminent NFL draft experts. He was a former NFL scout and has been a draft analyst for the publication for quite some time now. Lande is one of the guys that we at Cincy Jungle keep an eye on when he releases his mock drafts.

Though it's still early in the process, Lande provides an interesting twist on the first round and the Bengals selections in his latest mock draft. Though he has the Bengals addressing two major position needs with their two picks, this one is sure to raise some eyebrows.

According to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Joe Reedy, Bengals middle linebacker Rey Maualuga could get suspended for multiple games if he is charged with a crime stemming from the report that he was in an altercation at a bar and injured a bar manager in the process. The punishment for Maualuga would be worse if there was alcohol involved and judging by the fact that bars serve alcohol (that's pretty much all they do), it would be a safe bet that there was.

If Maualuga is charged, it would be a second violation in two years under the personal conduct policy and if it was alcohol related, it could be worse. After his DUI in Covington two years ago, Maualuga was placed in stage one of the league's Alcohol and Substance Abuse program. He appealed a one-game suspension and instead was fined two game checks ($46470.58) and part of his signing bonus. That falls in line with the suspensions outlined in an agreement between the league and its players.

Said a league spokesman at the time: "Rey Maualuga of the Cincinnati Bengals has been fined two game checks and will forfeit an additional 2/17 of his signing bonus attributable to 2010 for an alcohol-related violation of law (DUI) that is also a violation of the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse."

Reedy went on to say that if Maualuga does get charged and alcohol is found to be involved, it would fall into the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy, which states: ""Discipline for a second or subsequent offense is likely to be a suspension, the duration of which may escalate for repeat offenses."

Earlier this week beat writer Omar Kelly with the Sun-Sentinel wrote that the Cincinnati Bengals have $80.6 million against the salary cap for next season, giving them incredible breathing room for a salary cap that's projected to be roughly $121-125 million in 2012. Jamison Hensley with ESPN's AFC North blog confirms that the salary cap Cincinnati has to play with, citing that the team is $44 million under the cap.

The day after the Super Bowl comes with a weird mix of feelings. On one hand, there is a note of the morose knowing that come next Sunday, football will not be played. Suddenly there is a gap in the weekly routine and it's initially unsettling.

On the other hand, a break from football is necessary and even somehow refreshing, like a shower you only take once a year. The extended break between football-related activities gives us time to enjoy basketball then baseball before pulling our collective obsession out of the closet again. Brains everywhere decompress and file away most active football thoughts and memories until the following autumn. The fact it's taken away from us, allows us to appreciate it more. Limited supply leads to higher demand in this case.

That means before we close out Volume 9 of the Marvin Lewis saga, we must first briefly recap then look ahead.

According to FOX 19's Ethan Goldsmith, Cincinnati Bengals middle linebacker Rey Maualuga was allegedly involved in a bar fight in which he injured a bar manager.

According to the manager, Maualuga was at Luxe, a bar located at the corner of 6th St. and Main St. in downtown Cincinnati, where he allegedly punched the manager, causing him to be injured.

According to the report, the police are currently investigating the altercation and Maualuga has not been charged with a crime and it's unclear as to whether or not he will be.

Rey Maualuga is coming off his first season as the team's starting middle linebacker. If he is charged with a crime, this will not be the first time he's been in trouble in the Greater Cincinnati area. He was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Northern Kentucky in January of 2010.
