Dude, it's only preseason; JTO takes the lead?

The one thing that simply wears me down during the preseason is when making my opinion, it's always responded to with "well, it's preseason." Thanks for that bit of knowledge, but the question was asked, "what did you think?" Well, miscommunication with the offensive line. Lack of pass rush. Then I'm quickly reminded that it's only preseason. Um, yea. So I'm quickly learning that to start all conversations, I need to begin with "I know it's preseason and all, but..." There, I shot the guerilla in the room with a double-barrel shotgun.

Against Tom Brady, the Bengals defense "got a sack, a knockdown and two pressures". Keith Rivers got the first hit on Brady this year.

Who Dey Fans likes the backup quarterback situation this year as well as the backup defensive players.

Tom Nelson would be a surprise on the final 53-man roster. He finished with a sack and four tackles and "saw action as a punt returner."

Kicker Jay Feeley grades Chad Ochocinco Johnson's kicks on Thursday. WDR liked Chad kicking. However Lance McAlister didn't, mostly asking, why risk injury.

Paul Daugherty argues that preseason games should be free, which is an argument by most people that do not own businesses, or at least understand the complexity of opening a stadium is beyond opening the doors and letting the players play.

Last night, I wrote that there's a clear separation between J.T. O'Sullivan and Jordan Palmer in the backup role. James Walker already declares it over.

Chick Ludwig points out that Anthony Collins benefits the most with Andre Collins' holdout.

In AFC North news, Ben Roethlisberger's injury has been confined to the Achilles.

Initial examinations suggest that damage is not extensive, and Roethlisberger has reported that pain is subsiding. Doesn’t sound ruptured, but he may miss the rest of the preseason.

i agree with you on the “just the preseason” stuff. even though the games don’t count, there’s a lot going on and much can be judged from execution and effort, even if it comes from guys who won’t be on the team september 13.

and chick ludwig just figured out that a.c. benefits the most from smith’s holdout? no wonder i never read what the guy writes.
