QB - Palmer RB - Johnson / *Dillon WR - Johnson WR - Warrick TE - Schobel So many questions surrounding the Bengals this season. Will Palmer live up to his #1 draft pick billing? What's going to happen to Dillon. The * denotes that I don't think he'll be a Bengal on opening day. The Raiders & Cowboys have expressed interest and I think it's reasonable to think he'll most likely be a Raider by the draft. They've also talked about trading Kitna. Can this team be as productive next season with a second year QB with no experience? How will that effect the rest of the team's productivity? Will anyone suffer more than the next statistically speaking?
Now that Dillon is in New England, how well will Johnson do on his own? He played some amazing football last season. Can anyone say repeat performance? Or will he be a big bust with Palmer at QB?
I tend to think Palmer will have more success if they stack the line. I am not familiar enough with the 'Gals line to know how good they are at pass protection on the blitz. I was speaking of having to turn more to the running game because of poor QB play. I see your point though.
The Bengals line is decent. They can pass block ok and run block ok. Their success on offense will be in Palmer's hands, no doubt about it.

Rudi Johnson has looked great in the pre-season and Warrick is finally back from an injury.
