• Ballroom scouting

    3/8/10: While the Bengals scout the NFL for wide receiver Chad Ochocinco’s running mate for next season, here is a scouting report from The Ocho’s dance partner. “He’s determined. He’s competitive. He reminds me of Emmitt,” says Cheryl Burke of...

  • Palmer says T.O. OK

    3/6/10: Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer has no problems throwing to former Bills wide receiver Terrell Owens. Or anyone else, for that matter, who can help the Bengals downfield passing game keep pace with the wheeling and dealing of AFC North rival...

  • Kicking tires

    3/5/10: Coming off a division championship and into a pool of limited and aging free agents, the Bengals were supposed to come out of the gate glacially in free agency, if at all, and they skated through Friday’s first day like a lot of other teams...


Q (3/2/10): Most scouts are saying there is more good player depth at the defensive line position than there has been in a long time. I hope the Bengals don't reach with their first round pick for a need (TE or WR) rather than taking the best player available.
