I\u2019m good.\u201d Dalton then proceeded to take half a lap around the field, complete five jumping jacks, and then retreat to the Gatorade table where he promptly spilled a full cup of sports drink all over his jersey. These&nbsp;types&nbsp;of results continued and the rest of the day was spent proving that Dalton\u2019s training camp was a&nbsp;success,&nbsp;and that he was ready to mediocrely take the field for a mediocre performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had more training camps with this team then I\u2019d care to remember,\u201d said head coach Marvin Lewis. \u201cAnd during that time, I\u2019ve had so many mediocre players that I couldn\u2019t count them all if I lived to be one hundred. But I would just like to say, that I have never had a player come out and achieve regular season mediocrity in such a short time during training camp. Andy Dalton has announced to the NFL that he is ready to be approximately better than about half of the other guys out&nbsp;there,&nbsp;and decidedly worse than the other half. It\u2019s gonna be a heck of a season. I\u2019m predicting 8-8.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CINCINNATI, OH&nbsp;&#8211; The Cincinnati Bengals have kicked off the 2014 training camp at the Paul Brown Stadium practice field.
