Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Could Brandon Marshall suspension last through the kickoff weekend against the Bengals?

While the Bengals stumble through a 1-2 preseason with one game remaining on tap against the Colts, Cincinnati's regular season opening opponent, the Denver Broncos, could be without starting wide receiving Brandon Marshall. On Friday, the Denver Broncos suspended disgruntled wide receiver for conduct detrimental to the team. MHR says the suspension is only for the remainder of the preseason and this ESPN piece says the team will "reassess the situation when the preseason ends Sept. 6." However, Adam Schefter confirms MHR's report that "Marshall's suspension is scheduled to run through Sept. 6, meaning the wide receiver is eligible to return to work on Monday Sept. 7."

If you're unaware of the issue, PFT wrote on Thursday that Marshall is "acting like a spoiled brat, knocking the ball down during individual wideout drills, punting the ball instead of handing it to the ball boys, and generally lollygagging." Denver's Channel 7 has the video. Marshall's action are suspected to be orchestrated because the receiver has wanted a trade all offseason.

And you thought Chad Ochocinco was bad in 2008?

DEFENSE

looks like he’d be rusty even if he does play. and Knowshon Moreno won’t be available.

OH…..Kyle Orton sucks.

If only our offense can hold off the pass rush (ha)

3 yards and a pile of dust

I am

With Moreno out, Orton being Orton, and Marshall ineffective without practicing, that gives us a great chance to win…

His timing with Orten will be off by a mile.

He is still unfamiliar with the playbook.

And he’s obviously still unhappy. That doesn’t look like it’ll change any time soon. Lucky Bengals play them the first week. Timing couldn’t be better.

i like our defense vs their offense.

However, the vice versa could be the deciding factor.

True. But their D was a sieve last year and it doesn’t look like they did anywhere near enough to improve it this year. I think we have a chance.

this entire offseason i’ve thought that this year’s broncos remind me a lot of last year’s bengals. the video of marshall at practice made me think that we should beat them by at least two touchdowns in the first game.
