Franchise quarterback Andy Dalton returns to lead the Bengals in 2017, while affirmative action Rooney Rule head coach Marvin "X" Lewis inexplicably still has his job despite not winning a playoff game since the Eisenhower administration. The Bengals are surprisingly White-friendly this year, despite not having the best Caste reputation. Here are your White 2017 Cincinnati Bengals (starters in bold):

QB - Andy Dalton, AJ McCarron
WR - Alex Erickson
TE - Tyler Eifert, Tyler Kroft
OL - Clint Boling, Russell Bodine, Jake Fisher, TJ Johnson, Christian Westerman, Alex Redmond
FB - Ryan Hewitt
DL - Ryan Glasgow
LB - Nick Vigil
S - Clayton Fejedelem
Special teams - K Randy Bullock, P Kevin Huber, LS Clark Harris

Guard Cole Toner and kicker Jake Elliott are on the practice squad. Third-string quarterback Jeff Driskel is on injured reserve.

Total White starters: 7

Total Whites on 53-man roster: 18

Overall grade: C-

For some reason I don't think it was White players who "mutinied." Must have been an interesting locker room situation after the Bungals lost last night. The answer is surely to keep Marvin X for another 15 years of not winning any playoff games.

“Near mutiny” forced the hand of Marvin Lewis

So why did Bengals coach Marvin Lewis fire offensive coordinator Ken Zampese? Lewis basically had no choice.

After two home games only four days apart and zero touchdowns and nine total points scored, Lewis was facing a “near mutiny,” a league source tells PFT. The normally quiet A.J. Green publicly sounded off, and plenty of other players had plenty of pointed things to say privately, we’re told.

The fact that Lewis would cut the cord so quickly underscores how poorly the week has gone for Zampese, who simply hasn’t been able to do what Hue Jackson (and Jay Gruden before him) did with the offense of a team led by a defensive-minded coach. Yes, the fact that Zampese was fired after two games suggests he should have been fired after the 2016 season. Lewis nevertheless had to do something to keep things from imploding.

Of course the answer is to find a white scapegoat to blame. Not the AA Coach for Life Marvin X. There seems to be a bit of a discipline problem in the Bengals' locker room. The running pitched battle/wilding/riot at the end of the Bengals playoff game last year may have been the most disgraceful event ever during an NFL game and speaks to the lack of control that Marvin X has over his affletes. Maybe the Coach for Life has some kind of blackmail material on the owner or GM.

The best you can say about the Bungles is at least Alex Erickson is getting some touches and showing he belongs on the field.

Speaking of Erickson, the anti-Whites over at (((rotoworld))) really have it out him. Read these two player news blurbs which were released one after another and tell me you can't feel the vitriol dripping from the text.

Alex Erickson - WR - Bengals
Bengals WR Alex Erickson caught 4-of-6 targets for 62 yards in Cincinnati's Week 2 loss to the Texans.

For whatever reason, Erickson also notched a two-yard carry. The Bengals went with Erickson over healthy scratch Tyler Boyd, then went with Erickson as their third receiver after John Ross lost a first quarter fumble. By Pro Football Focus' count, Erickson played 37 snaps. He did nothing to stand out. Despite the Bengals coaching staff's evident love, Erickson doesn't seem like a player we'll hear much from in 2017, though the 2016 UDFA was up for all 16 games as a rookie.

John Ross - WR - Bengals
Making his NFL debut, John Ross was benched after losing a first quarter fumble in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Texans.

Kareem Jackson put his helmet on the ball at the end of a 12-yard end around. Jadeveon Clowney then picked it up for a long return. Ross wasn't heard from afterward, with the Bengals going with second-year UDFA slot man "Alex Erickson." We're assuming Ross learned a "hard lesson," or something. It's unclear what cliche coach Marvin Lewis will go with. It could be a while before Ross establishes re-draft value.

First off, WTF is up with putting Alex Erickson in scare quotes? Are they implying that he's going under an alias or something? Or are they just stupid and don't know how to use them. Next, how did Erickson do nothing to stand out? Catching the majority of his targets for a good yards per catch seems like a great outing for a young player. In fact, a smart coach would see that this a guy with talent they could nurture and with more experience develop into a integral weapon on offense.

Of course, the enemy media sees him as a roadblock to some upsider reaching his untapped star power.

So the party line is that Ross didn't fumble, a helmet which was placed on the ball fumbled. Like all blacks, Ross is not responsible for anything. :rolleyes:

Erickson proved to be an excellent returner last year. Rotoworld gives him no credit for anything, however. That's because the writers of Rotoworld are anti-White and seek to demean White men at every opportunity.

From Weenieworld: Tyler Eifert requires surgery on his back and is done for the season. Back surgery is nothing new for Eifert, who underwent his first back surgery last December. Eifert is a supreme talent, but he simply hasn't had positive injury fortune as a pro. It's a devastating end to the 27-year-old's contract season. Tyler Kroft will be the Bengals' starter the rest of the way.
