incinnati will enter the 2011 NFL season on a transition stage after having lost Carson Palmer, who decided to retire if he’s not traded and Chad Ochocinco who was dealt to the Patriots. Their replacements will be their first and second round picks in last April’s draft, Andy Dalton (35th overall) and A.J Green (4th overall). The Bengals also failed to keep Jonathan Joseph, one of their top cornerbacks and Terrell Owens left as a free agent.
Cleveland will have more of a West Coast style of offense,which means that there is a lot of learning for the offensive players to do before they suit up for this one, and that is without considering how shallow the Browns are at the WR position. Brian Robiskie and Josh Cribbs are taking the first-team snaps, which means that so far the receivers are exactly where they were last season, minus Mohammed Massaquoi for the moment, who is wearing a cast around his leg.
Recent Trends to Consider:
