Cincinnati Bengals in Review of the past week....The Air Show is back!

So the Bengals hit the field in New Orleans and showed some really good things. Though they did not walk away with a win, nor did the first unit score, there is hope!!

It was awesome to see Carson looking to connect long with Chad OchoCinco right off on the first play of the game. Carson under through him but it was good to set the presidence that the Bengals Air Show is back.

The offensive line was pretty dang strong! There were drop backs by Carson and the pocket was deep and wide and gave plenty of time to make a pass. That is different from last year. And throw in that Andre Smith wasn't in there either makes for a very positive outlook on the season.

Did anyone see Chris Moss I mean Chris Henry. Yes, Carson has called him with the likes of Randy Moss and the kid didn't disappoint. Chris Henry looked awesome. Significantly, the passes he caught in traffic that last year he shyed away from. Excellent night for him in the receiving game!

And oh yea, Bernard Scott, GOOD LORD! Did you see the quickness and toughness this kid has! This was awesome to watch. He is a gutsy, fast, and mouthy little back. He made some awesome runs and cut backs and then told the Saints about it! I love the attitude he brings. He will be for sure one to watch in 2009 behind Cedric.

I will save the negatives for another post but overall a very impressive, but a bit rusty, first pre season game for the Bengals.

Can't wait till Thursday!!
