2011 CINCINNATI BENGALS PREVIEW:
The Cincinnati Bengals had one of the most disappointing seasons of any team last year in stumbling to a 4-12 record. As such, the team has a much different look this season, and will be looking to rebuild with a new look with head coach Marvin Lewis at the helm.
The biggest change will be who is under center. Former quarterback Carson Palmer likely won't be playing for Cincinnati, so the duties will fall on rookie Andy Dalton. Luckily for Dalton, he has several talented players surrounding him including rookie receiver A.J. Green and second-year man Jordan Shipley. Cedric Benson will handle the running duties, and is coming off his second consecutive 1,000-yard year.
The defense also has some question marks, but perhaps the most pressing issue is the squads front line. Tank Johnson is the only member with significant experience, and whether or not he can be effective remains to be seen. However, the linebacking corps has some talented players including Ray Maualuga. The secondary is led by Leon Hall, who has been one of the best cornerbacks in the league for the last several years.
