2007-08 Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals fans are expecting their team to make news ON the field this season, instead of their previous off-field antics. Look for Carson Palmer to provide solid plays, and consistency in the receiving line. Rudi Johnson continues to be dependable, but the questions Bengals ticket buyers have is… can the defense hold up? Cincinnati can create turnovers and make big plays, but to continue doing that this season they need solid plays from the linebacker spot. Jeremi Johnson is a Pro Bowl alternate and will continue to be a fantastic blocker into the season. Coach Marvin Lewis needs to keep his team strong on the field and low-key off the field for the Bengals to be contenders – and be able to face the Ravens. If you are looking for Bengals tickets for this exciting season, you are definitely in the right place.
Previous Seasons
The Cincinnati Bengals were one of the worst franchises in all of sports for a great while. That all changed when head coach Marvin Lewis came into town in time for the 2003 campaign. In his two seasons he’s led the team to a 16-16 record, which is something to be excited for in Cincinnati since the last time the team had gone over .500 in two seasons was over the ’89-’90 seasons where the team finished 17-15. Since 1991, the team hasn’t been able to have a record better than 8-8 and hasn’t made a single playoff appearance, but this year might be the year. The team is loaded with young talented players like Heisman Award winning quarterback Carson Palmer, running back Rudi Johnson, All-Pro wide out Chad Johnson, and linebackers David Pollack and Odell Thurman.
Coach Lewis has his team primed and ready for success and it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibilities for a team like this to travel deep into the playoffs. If the team gets their stuff together, they could find themselves in the Super Bowl. It’s all a matter of how they come together this year.
In the off-season, Lewis took some more steps in creating this team in his own image by making a number of moves to bolster his roster. The team brought in a few defensive linemen to help get some more depth out of that unit. They picked up defensive tackle Bryan Robinson who was formerly with the Miami Dolphins. With the Bengals Robinson will have a starting spot and will be a significant upgrade from the other tackle they had last season. The team also signed defensive end Elton Patterson to a two-year contract; he was formerly with the Jaguars. Patterson won’t have a starting spot waiting for him, like Robinson, but he will be able to provide a much-needed push when they call his number. He will provide great depth for the team.
In the draft, is where Lewis has been making his best and boldest moves since taking over in Cincy. He believes that he needs to have good drafts and bring up players who don’t know any better about the Bengals history of losing. So when they come up they play with the same swagger they played with while they were in college. With his first two picks in the 2005, Draft Lewis selected two linebackers from the same school, Georgia’s David Pollack and Odell Thurman. Pollack was actually a defensive end while at Georgia, but Lewis would like to use his incredible speed and athletic ability in other ways. As a stand up end in the 3-4 scheme Pollack could create an incredible amount of havoc for opposing offenses. Thurman is a prototypical inside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme. He is a good size (6’, 233 lbs) and he can move around the field like crazy with the 4.69 40-yard dash time that he posted at the NFL Combine. This will be a very scary defense to line up against in the coming years.
