Redmond mean streaks into opener
The last time the Bengals had two offensive linemen making their first NFL starts on Opening Day 22 years ago, rookie center Billy Price was just shy of two years old and second-year right guard Alex Redmond was also all of one, even younger than his three-year-daughter Lincoln.
Quick hits: Best Eifert has felt since Pro Bowl; Glenn limited; Redmond right up Lewis' alley
The Bengals’ first injury report of the year Wednesday had a relieved tight end Tyler Eifert (back), linebacker Vincent Rey (ankle) and tight end Mason Schreck (toe) full go for Sunday’s opener (1 p.m.-Cincinnati’s Channel 12) in Indy and before practice Eifert said it’s the best he’s felt in two years.

Counter-acting the RPO: Cincinnati Bengals take on the trend
The Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl and everyone wants to know how they did it. Then copy it. That’s the NFL in a nutshell, as true today as it was the last time the Bengals went to the Bowl.

2018 Bill Barnwell NFL preview - How all 32 teams can get to Super Bowl LIII
To my knowledge, exactly zero national media members predicted that the Philadelphia Eagles would win Super Bowl LII. That list includes me; I suggested that they were extremely likely to improve and even said that they would go from worst to first in the NFC East on my podcast, but I didn't think they would win the championship at any moment until Brandon Graham strip-sacked Tom Brady with 2 minutes, 16 seconds to go in the fourth quarter in the game.
Bold predictions for all 32 NFL teams for 2018 season
The Bengals' offense will bounce back in a big way. Of course, everything depends on the play of Andy Dalton, who hasn't been able to recreate the success of 2015. But with a capable left tackle in Cordy Glenn and weapons such as running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver A.J. Green, the offense should climb out of the cellar.
