It’s always tough to make any declaration after the NFL’s preseason opener, but one thing you can conclude fairly safely after Friday night’s 23-10 victory at Paul Brown Stadium is that the Bengals personnel department had a much better offseason than what transpired in New Jersey.
But, as has been the case for the last five years or so, the league expects there to be depth on a Bengals roster in the pre-season opener. The number of teams scouting in the PBS press box reflect that they expect some good players on the street or some may be had in trade and it was tough to look at the Giants for either.
