A lot of starters for Cincinnati didn't make the trip to Atlanta including AJ Green, Andrew Hawkins, Marvin Jones on offense. That leaves opportunities for guys like Dane Sanzenbacher & Rookie Cobi Hamilton to make some plays at WR. I'm just excited to see football back, Preseason or not.

Bengals got this one in the bag. Pro bowl QB throwing to a HoFer. Def with Harrison will be a wrecking crew. Only qestion is how many helmet to helmet QB sacks will Harrison get tonight? O/U 2.5?

Got it DVRd but anxious to see Eifert and the offense without AJ. Got good feelings about this season.

Giovani Bernard looks really good.... Josh Johnson already looks better at backup QB than Jordan Palmer & Bruce Gradkowski

Bengals lead 17-3 @ Halftime

Don't see any way he makes the team. They are set at WR with AJ, Sanu, Hawkins, Jones, and Tate. Tate is who he would have to beat out. If they take 6 WR he would have a shot but guessing they take 5. Honestly can't remember how many they usually have though.

Only way he makes it is if Andrew Hawkins is on the PUP list.

Green
Sanu
Jones
Hawkins
Tate
Whalen
Hamilton

Problem is, they are going to probably carry 3 TE's.

Hawkins very well could be.
I'd take Dane over Tate and Tate over Whalen

I hate Tate as the Kick/Punt returner, Adam Jones was better last year but I could see Sanzenbacher making the team on Special Teams

I'm not a Tate fan, but the Bengals clearly see something in him. They snatched him up before anyone else and have given him chance after chance. He's a 5th WR, at best, yet his roster spot has never been in jeopardy.
