HapHaszard Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17045146&BRD=1698&PAG=740&dept_id=352956&rfi=6 By Tony Moss, NFL Editor (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals will look to finally put a turbulent offseason behind them on Sunday night, when Marvin Lewis' team plays host to the Washington Redskins in the preseason opener for both franchises. Since putting together a 11-5 season that came complete with the franchise's first division title and playoff appearance since 1990, the Bengals have made headlines of the wrong sort. Several Cincinnati players, most notably wide receiver Chris Henry, were arrested during the spring and summer months, while another, linebacker Odell Thurman, was suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The offseason incidents have in part overshadowed what was supposed to be the Bengals' main issue heading into the preseason - the quarterback situation click on the link for the whole article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 That article could use a paragraph break or two...lol :laugh: The part pertaining to the Skins: "The Redskins, who come off their first postseason appearance since 1999, will be eager to trot out their new offensive look on Sunday night. Offseason additions to the offense include wideouts Antwaan Randle El (ex-Steelers) and Brandon Lloyd (ex-49ers), while former Chiefs mastermind Al Saunders is now at the helm of the Washington offense. Both Randle El and Lloyd are expected to see time with the first unit on Sunday (though Lloyd was bothered by a hip injury last week). Quarterback Mark Brunell, running back Clinton Portis, and wideout Santana Moss should also appear briefly. Brunell will likely be followed in the lineup by No. 2 candidates Todd Collins and Jason Campbell. On defense, onlookers will get an opportunity to take in the work of newcomers in safety Adam Archuleta, a free agent pickup from the Rams, and linebacker Rocky McIntosh, a second-round draft pick out of Miami (FL)). Cincinnati has a 4-2-1 lead in the all-time preseason series with Washington, including a 24-17 road victory prior to last season. The Redskins hold a 4-3 lead in the all-time regular season series.

"Likely"??...lol :laugh:...Yeah, there's a pretty darn good chance that Brunell will most likely be replaced in the game by Collins and/or Campbell...although that wacky Gibbs may have Sean Taylor replace Brunell instead, you never know... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiggoReincarnated Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Why aren't we starting Jason Campbell the way the Cowboys did Tony Romo sits to pee? Don't we want to see how Campbell performs with the 1st team offense and against Cincinatti's first team defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't we want to see how Campbell performs with the 1st team offense and against Cincinatti's first team defense? Brunell is a bit of a questionmark too with his health, learning the new system, etc... we gotta see how he can do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
