Changes to Bengals offense in '09?

Expect the Bengals' offense to look a little different in 2009 as they incorporate some new (secret) changes to the offense, per Chick Ludwig of the Dayton Daily News.

Offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski won't go into the details saying you'll "have to wait and see."

“We are going to be different. We’ve got some things that are changed, and we have things that are very similar, too," said Bratkowski. "There are a lot of things we had on film that we’re going to be doing, and doing a lot better.”

“We’re still running Brat’s offense,” quarterback Carson Palmer said. “There’s really just a few new wrinkles. He’s inserted some different ideas and some different schemes to replace and fill in for some of the things we’ve cut out.”

Although the Bengals finished as the worst-ranked offense in the league (245.4 yards per game), they have a healthy Carson Palmer, a healthy and motivated Chad Ochocinco and Cedric Benson, who finished the year strong.

In fact, Benson had 462 combined rushing and receiving yards in the final three games (all wins) of the season.

With or without new wrinkles, the Bengals offense should be dramatically better than it was in 2008.
