the bengals looked merely okay in their preseason opener against new england last night. granted, preseason games aren't the most reliable measure of how good a team will be, but it was disappointing to see the defense get run all over like they have been in the past two seasons. odell thurman made some good plays though; i stil think he'll be a stud this year. palmer was also a disappointment. they've been raving about him and chad all preseason, but he still seemed to be making the same mistakes as last year. i also wish we'd gotten more looks at chris henry. and i don't think i even saw tj once.
on the bright side, our running game looked stellar. rudi absolutely tore through the patriots. he was finding holes and breaking tackles like a champ. chris perry was looking like he might have been worth that first round pick last year. not only did he do well running the ball, but he looked really impressive in the short passing game. we'll see how the rest of the preseason goes; hopefully they'll get it together before they open in cleveland.
