Johnathan Joseph NOT starting
Foot still hurts. David Jones gets the start, but JJ figures to get some reps.

Checking in.
I’m at work tonight (as per usual), so I’ll be following along with you nice folks here. :)
I am DVR’ing the game at home though in hopes that at approximately 4:30 this morning I’ll be able to sit down on the couch and fast forward to someone knocking Whines Hard unconscious.
Marvin White, I’m looking at you!
WELCOME

the only way we have a shot is if we have some crazy new game plan, like throwing every down with 3WR and 2TE or just 5wide and we get a lot of turnovers. But we’re not good at crazy/creatie game plans.
But I’m predicting a disaster
We need to cause turnovers.
Get field position. I don’t see our offense scoring on their own. Defense has to cause turnovers. Willie Parker is back too.

Deion Sanders basically just confirmed Glazer's report.
Sanders said that Johnson apologized to Lewis and that they’re “together” and that nothing will come of it after this.

The report is here.
A few local reports have surfaced that alleged that the receiver overslept and arrived late for a team meeting Wednesday night at the Bengals practice facility. Sources confirmed Ocho Cinco arrived late and was extremely groggy. After taking his seat, Bengals offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski told Ocho Cinco to sit up straight in his seat. After the receiver refused, Bratkowski again repeated his demand.
At that point, Ocho Cinco stood up and walked out of the meeting altogether. After shouting at his player to return, Lewis chased him down and lashed into the former All-Pro — finally telling Johnson to go home.

Awful start for the offense.
Just another sickly effort by the offense to start the game. They pick up right where they left off with inexplicably conservative play-calling. Run up the middle. Run up the middle, short pass to nowhere near what they need for the first down. Forget what “good” teams do. NOBODY else does this. Just a pathetic effort.
No wonder Chad was falling asleep during a meeting.
Good field position coming up.

Not a good sign for our defense though.

It is simple math -

None.
We lost our “best” rushers, save for Geathers. No blitzes to force Ben to throw when he doesn’t want to. That’s how we got to McNabb. Forced him to throw early, and we came away with three picks.
