"If you watched our games last season, you could see the foundation being laid. Under Zimmer our defense was getting in sync and our offense was establishing the run. The draft came next and like a 2001 fastball thrown to Barry Bonds, we CRUSHED IT! Then we had our best free agency period ever. My only question about the Bengals was the O-line. After reading every Hobson article about Kyle Cook, I knew he was the real deal. By all accounts he was one of the smartest and strongest guys on the team. I was sold. You lose more games with mental mistakes than with physical ones, and I had a very good feeling Cook wasn't gonna let that happen. And I was positive Zim wouldn't let that happen with our defense. Looking at our team, and believing Palmer was completely healthy, I had a very good vibe about our team if we could avoid the injury bug."
