Willie Anderson Returns To Cincinnati Bengals Lockerroom
Well, at least to say hello.
For those of you that's known me since starting this website in March of 2006, you know my favorite Bengals player, at least from the mid-90s onward, is Willie Anderson. I could get into the reasons for his awesomeness, but secret government servers would go into super-crash mode where drones across the United States would be hijacked and configured into seek and destroy mode, looking for Justin Bieber.
Anderson joined the Bengals lockerroom on Wednesday. Don't worry Bieber fans, Anderson isn't returning as a player. (If there's seriously any Bieber fans on this blog, honestly, don't admit it amongst a group of hardcore Bengals fans).
For the first time since his 12-year Bengals’ career ended just before the 2008 season, four-time Pro Bowl right tackle Willie Anderson visited the locker room Wednesday and while he’s not returning as a player he is apparently helping his old offensive line in other ways.
We're in no means promoting that we'd like to see Anderson, who reiterates that he's indeed retired, give it one more go in Cincinnati as the team's starting right tackle. But if Lewis could possibly finagle Anderson to stick around for an extended brief stay and mentor Andre Smith, who seems to need that helping hand to guide him as to what the team is expecting from him, could go a long way.

Willie Anderson right now, having not put on pads in months, is still better than everyone else on the o-line
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, is just a freight train coming your way...

Please Big WIllie
Don’t bring Andre Fat Burgers out of spite. Teach him to be great like you, even though he was drafted to replace your memory and he is from Alabama.

He was drafted to TRY and replace Willie's memory but hasn't even come close yet.
What is politically correct today probably won't be tomorrow. God bless the Miami nation.

RE:
From my understanding, it’s just a visit and hanging out.

They should bring in Munoz to help out too.

I love munoz but
Come on now. Munoz hasnt played in almost two decades.
Willie is a modern player and has a better grasp of concepts of the game right now.
Not saying Willie is staying or anything but I mean come on guys.
So your saying Ken Anderson shouldn't be the QB's coach for the Steelers?
Heck he goes farther back the Munoz.

Have you played football recently?
The QB position won’t change drastically like that, its form and and technique wont change that much. For Offensive Line techniques and schemes and even the size and quality of players change over time DRASTICALLY.
.
Ken also has been coaching for years, so its not like he would just walk in from the booth to go coach.

Andre Smith is a bust. He will never play up to the millions the bengals have already paid him. Only a matter of time before he goes the way of Freddie Childress.
While I believe you
Stranger things have happened, though I can’t think of any.

Im glad Big Willie Stopped by
We need someone to help Big Andre and Roland. Hopefully, He’s given then some good food for thought.
Unfortunately
I think it will take a lot more than one visit. Either sign Willie or make him a coach!!!
Teach these boys how to be pro's Willie!
Sign him and get him in the locker room to mentor these guys, I don’t care if he plays a snap this year. The guy knows what it takes; even if he can’t physically do it anymore. They brought in Kelly to protect their investment in Gresham, do the same for Smith, he is making more money.
Why don't they mentor Andre like they do in the old bad kung fu movies?
Screw up – you get hit with a stick.
Screw up again – you get hit with a bigger stick.
Make Willie a coach!
These guys (I’m looking at you, Jelly Moobs) need to learn how to be pros.

Dear Big Willie
We are so grateful that you honored PBS with a visit, whatever the reason. You should have retired as a Bengal.
Please stick around and support this team. +1000 to make him a Coach!
