Chad-Bengals 2008?

[DDOGG]

What do you think?

If you said that Chad will get traded; to what team, and who would you like to see for him?

If I were Chad, I'd shut my yapper until after the draft and the first mini-camp to see what we've got. We've been so snake-bitten with injuries the last 3 or 4 years, that the trend has to stop sooner or later, and '08 could be the year we finally stay healthy. Look at the Colts from '06... Once they finally got the majority of their defensive starters back on the field, their D was actually pretty stout...stout enough to win the big one.

Between a good draft, a healthy O line, a healthy D, and a TE that is actually going to demand Safety help, Chad could be in for a career season. Even he's not stupid enough to deny his prospects for personal success with a couple of missing pieces finally plugged in.

Who doesn't think that if the ball were to finally bounce our way for a change we could make a serious run? Ellis + Peko getting push in the middle... Thurman and Brooks healthy and in the lineup... Pollack in a DE rotation.... Odom and Geathers able to get some pressure... Inspired year 2 work from White, Ndukewe and Hall... If we can stay healthy, aren't we very close???

Chad, if you still honestly think you can get your desired playoff run better in Oakland or Miami after the draft, then keep yapping. Otherwise, shut the hell up and remember this is a team sport... I'm sure a winning streak would help you forget the foolishness of your offseason. A good draft and our FA moves have only enhanced your ability to get into the show...
