Saturday afternoon links and notes -- going over a lot of stuff
While "Pragmatic Bengals Fan" broke down the upcoming game against the Packers, he wondered about the hamstrings of T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Rudi Johnson -- players likely out Monday night. I haven't referenced Rudi Johnson's hammy much, but I admit, when I heard he tweaked his hamstring,...
Friday morning links and notes -- Odom likely returning by regular season game #1
A quick note on links. I've removed some sites that aren't updating themselves, or don't link back to this site, like MVN and Fanhouse related sites. I included Bengal Nation Daily (who I've read, but never thought about linking). Also, if there's links that you think should be included, send me an...
Thursday morning links and notes -- Rivers will play Monday night
Marvin Lewis expects Keith Rivers to "play some" on Monday night against the Packers. Rivers' deal is apparently six years, $4 million more than Jerod May and worth $23 million if his "contract maxes out". If there's some proof that Rivers is going to be a good pickup, he texted...
Ranking Bengals after the first week of camp
The following is a simple ranking based on the first week of training camp; basically where I ranked players at their position from reports and scrimmage games. This is not a projection of who makes the roster. Rankings are also different for positions like offensive tackle, where the first two are...
Saturday afternoon links and notes -- defense beats offense, Brandon Johnson continues to step-up
Generally, when training camp begins through an early segment of the regular season, the defense has a natural advantage. It takes time for the offense to gel, to get their timing, and to generally learn the playbook. The defensive playbook is generally simple compared to the offense, and relies on...
Friday afternoon links and notes -- Rivers' agent hurting Rivers
For those of you that rip the Bengals for not signing Rivers, always, always, consider that it's the agent that has self-loathing interests for himself and agency over his client. This one isn't on the Bengals. This one isn't on Rivers. With Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh out this weekend,...
Lesser known Bengals are shining with their opportunity
We've been reading plenty of positive reviews with players that are stepping up in roles where starters are either hurt, missing, or simply struggling (to keep their weight down). Important Dates: August 26: Deadline to get roster down to a maximum of 75 players. August 30: Deadline to get...
Thursday morning links and notes -- Rivers holdout appears lengthy
Pending his approval, the Reds and White Sox agreed on a Ken Griffey Jr. trade. Sedrick Ellis' contract is worth up to $49 million with $32-33 million in base salaries. However, Derrick Harvey isn't close, ESPN writes, quoting Jack Del Rio: "He's falling behind, there's no question," Del Rio...
Tuesday morning links and notes
I finished the third season of The Wire. So far, it's a really good show with quality character development and good story-line progressions. If you get time, I highly recommend buying or renting the first season box set. Antwan Odom won't miss kickoff weekend after it was determined he suffered...
Monday Afternoon links and notes -- Odom suffers "major injury"
Figures. Antwan Odom suffers a "major injury" to his left ankle leaving the complex on crutches with ice strapped to his foot. Odom signed a five-year deal worth $29.5 million with $11.5 million in guarantees. Odom went in for tests, but no official report has been made. A few notes...
