I look forward to the T.O. and Ocho show (or is it the Ocho and T.O. show?) this season...

Best FF team from a few years ago, here today!

More of a credit to teh front 7 than their secondary IMO.

Say what? Last time I checked they have a great young CB tandem in Hall and Joseph.

That D starts with the front 7, period.

Okay, but their secondary played stellar last year in a league that is moving towards the spread each year.

Per NFL.Com:

3rd in the league in total yards allowed. - Thanks to our Front 7

3rd in total points allowed. - Thanks to our Front 7

8th in passing yards allowed per game. - Yet we gave up 164 first downs through the Air alone, Not including the 30+ penalties (yes 30+) on our DB's
5th in rushing yards allowed per game. - Once again thanks to our Front 7

Never said we didn't have a good D.

I'll state again, Baltimore and Cleveland have the 2 of the worst Corner back groups in the NFL.

I'm a Ravens fan and I know that we have one of the worst corner back tandems in the nfl.

Our best corner is Ladarius Webb, who we drafted last year and was injured right after week 7 or so and lost for the season.

We are talking about the Ravens... Hall and Joseph play for the Bungles

Way to go thread derailers!

[Point Blank]

Lets get back on topic, who cares about the Ravens?

 

Ryan > Flacco ;)

[Rayman]

Interesting to say the least.

Can't wait for the Cowboys to get hammered with useless questions about the Hall of Fame Game starting today because of this.

[Rayman]

shit... this reminds me I have to get tickets to that game. Canton is my hometown, and this should actually be a decent game, so I might as well make the trip home for the weekend and hit it up.

I played on that field back in high school... it's a rock hard piece of shit.

Looks that way.

Why haven't they bothered to replace the surface?

What's the difference?

Stats are stats. It's hard to move the ball on that defense, obviously.

This signing would of been the bomb...had it gone down about 3-4 years ago. Still a pretty cheap deal for Mike Brown and makes Cincy's spotlight a tad bit bigger. Bengals are going to need more than a 38-year old compliment to Chad in order to win more this season. Running game isn't dynamic enough and they're defense needs to finish like they started last season.

Thats the thing. He doesn't have to be compliment to Chad. He is going to our Slot WR. Bryant will be the compliment. Having 3 guys who could have a big game any given day is going to be great. I find it hard to imagine ALL 3 of these guys having a shitty game at the same time, atleast 1 of them a game should be playing good.
