ESPN conducted a anonymity poll with 32 NFL players with "eight from each AFC North team", asking who will be the breakout player in the division. Six said Keith Rivers (who led all vote getters in the division), two said Chris Henry with single votes going to Cedric Benson and Rey Maualuga.

Who Dey Fans are getting impatient that movement on the Andre Smith front isn't moving. I can't argue that -- at all. Would love to see Smith in camp -- figure he's better off being with the team, than without.

Chick Ludwig writes that Chris Henry is motivated because it's a contract year for him. I believe that that's partially true. However, I also wouldn't put it past Henry that he's motivated just to change the perceptions about him -- which, of course, in turn is motivated with a better contract next year.

Of all the draft picks selected on the second day by the Cincinnati Bengals, James Walker writes that punter Kevin Huber is the under-the-radar rookie that will surprise us.

This Saturday, the Bengals will be offering two-game ticket packs. Tickets will "range from $128 to $164 per person", which includes both games.

THE TICKET PACKS FOR THE 2009 HOME SEASON WILL BE:
PACK A: Sept. 13 vs. Denver (regular-season home opener) and Nov. 29 vs. Cleveland
PACK B: Sept. 27 vs. Pittsburgh and Oct. 18 vs. Houston
PACK C: Oct. 25 vs. Chicago and Dec. 6 vs. Detroit
PACK D: Nov. 8 vs. Baltimore and Dec. 27 vs. Kansas City

Does it seem like a good idea to Tweet before and after (and maybe during) games?
