This week, I chat with cornerback Deltha O'Neal. He spent four years with the Bengals and enjoyed his best season as a pro in 2005. He set a Bengals record with 10 interceptions, went to the Pro Bowl and was named All-Pro. Along with partner in turnovers Tory James, O'Neal led the way on one of the most opportunistic defenses in team history. The Bengals picked off 31 passes in 2005. The next highest number in the Marvin Lewis Era? Twenty, notched each of the last two seasons.
The conversation runs the gamut with the fun-loving former first-round pick of the Broncos. He talks about the poor perceptions some rookies had originally arriving at Cincinnati, how Odell Thurman could have been in the same realm as Ray Lewis, his relationship with Marvin Lewis and what he witnessed from fans in the city that season that was unlike anyone had ever seen.
