With no drafting this year by the Bengals they elected to trade there picks for talent that's already proven. They also parted ways with shifty speed rusher gio Bernard after his fumble in the playoffs. They also are very happy for the return of pro bowl we ah green who missed the last 8 games of the season with a broken collarbone.
The starting offense
Qb Andy DaltonÂ
Fb Ryan Hewitt
Hbs Zach Stacy. Jeremy Hill. Lataveus Murray
Te Tyler Eifert  Jermaine Gresham
Wr AJ Green Marvin Jones Brian Hartline and Mohommad Sanu
Lt Andrew Whitworth
Lg Clint Boling
C Russel Bodine
Rg Kevin Zeitler
Rt Andre Smith
This offense has upgraded from last season in many ways with the additions of hbs Stacy and Murray that better fit the running style and needs of coach oc and also bringing in Hartline at wr that's yet another great target for qb of the year the red rocket Andy Dalton. Also the offense has improved oline with xp points and qb Dalton throw power seems to impressed up to a 91 from 86 for better long ball throws and fitting into tighter coverages.
The Defense
Le Carlos DunlapÂ
DT Geno Atkins Michael BrockersÂ
Re Margnus Hunt
Lolb Shaun Porter
Mlb Ray Maluauga
Rolb Vontez Burfict
Cb Leon Hall Darquez Dennard
Fs Reggie Nelson
Ss George Iloka
This defense is loaded with talent from top to bottom. Its improved greatly with Hunt stepping up to a 94 overall and  Maluauga to a 90 who also both made the pro bowl and hunt led res in sacks and maluauga won defense mvp. With cover corners in coverage and a sack inhibition dline and run stopping lbs this group looks to be a top 5 defense this season.
Expectations
After a 10-6 season and going 1-1 in the playoffs we feel that this team is already a force to recond with and with the additions to the team personnel wise and xp wise we look for them in the playoffs again this year. Anything less and coach oc may pull a raiders move and trade the whole team to start over again.
Prediction record
13-3 we look to keep improving and hopefully win a division title this year
