Tuesday Morning Links and Notes: There is no battle between Palmer and Chad

by Josh Kirkendall on May 26, 2009 9:38 AM EDT in Analysis

During an interview with Scouts Inc, Matt Williamson was asked, "Will the public fighting between Palmer and Ochocinco eventually blow over, or can this impact chemistry between the two?" Why do people think there's a battle royale going on? Chad Johnson has said nothing and hasn't responded to Palmer's comments. Palmer was talking matter of fact. C'mon, let's dig into stories that are actually there.

Priority Sports is "mulling action against" agent Alvin Keels because Keels initiated contact with a player during the "five day termination period".

Neither Roy Williams or Mike Zimmer believes that the veteran safety has lost a step.

USA Today: The Offense Can Only Get Better.

Andrew Whitworth on developing a cohesive offensive line unit:

"That's something that happens over time. It's nothing you rush," Whitworth said. "Even your good lines that have been together a lot of years are still developing and learning. You get the best five guys out there who want to win and work the most."

The Chickster goes through a list of players that will "break out" in 2009. Then he says of Andre Smith that the offensive tackle "needs to grow up".

Dave asks if the Bengals can beat the Ravens and Steelers. Yes.

There is no Ochocinco...only Zuul!

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of “feud” the frantic scribblers can make this into. Guys…Guys… If Chad doesn’t show up…and Carson says, “Chad isn’t here,” he’s just telling it like it IS. If he said something like, “Chad’s not here because he doesn’t care about his team…he’s a punk…he’s not what he used to be…he’s a lousy cornhole player…whatever,” then it becomes personal. But it’s not now…nor do I look for it to become personal unless it happens on the Ochocinco/Oilslick side.

Why don’t you concentrate on catching the football when it’s thrown to you…and staying healthy.

Not a whole lotta demand right now for Christian Rock.

Well...

Speak for yourself on whatever your perceived “demand” is for various musical genres, but I was pretty disappointed in the lack of ROI the Bengals got for signing him last year. Maybe the offseason, rehab, and a healthy dose of competition will spur him along, though. Here’s hoping…
