One could argue that Cedric Benson won the FedEx Ground Player of the Week award because he did it against a team that hadn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 39 straight games. With 27 carries, Cedric Benson recorded 120 yards rushing and a 28-yard touchdown. The touchdown, in the closing minutes of the third quarter, gave the Bengals a 10-7 lead over a heavily favored opponent. In Baltimore, no less....

By Luke Brietzke, For the TimesDaily AUBURN - During Eric Smith's true freshman preseason last year, his powerful running style drew comparisons to former AU tailback Rudi Johnson. Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn came in and had different ideas for Smith. Four games into the 2009 season, Smith looks more like Little Carl Stewart - the former Auburn jack-of-all-trades...

I was losing. I was going to lose the game. I had no offense for the first half. I got some lucky throws in, lucky catches and managed to pull out a win. First off, the Ravens have a TOUGH defense. I like throwing crossing patterns over the middle but with Ed Reed at safety, I don't dare throw it anywhere near him. I couldn't run. I couldn't pass. Every drive in the 1st and 2nd quarter was pretty 3...

Tough match against Falcons this week. I threw 3 interceptions, one that was returned for a touchdown. Ouch. It is tempting to just go 5 wide and throw with Brady and Moss, but interceptions are the devil and will lose the game for you. I picked up Rudi Johnson off waivers; he's slow but he has a high trucking and I just need a RB to pound the run in. I didn't have much of a run game this time, but...

When the preseason marches towards a welcomed conclusion, discussion and debate takes place on who the team cuts and keeps. Sometimes the topic goes into salary cap causalities; veterans that are cut, like Willie Anderson and Rudi Johnson last year. Other times, the debate talks about players that surprisingly make the roster. As jsl413 broke down, the Bengals depth is strong in some areas , weak in...

Click for larger image This little discovery is... Well, it's disappointing is what it is. I was perusing around the NFL's online pro shop , seeing if -- God forbid -- the had any of these monstrosities for the Cincinnati Bengals . Fortunately, that answer is no, but that's about the only good news I saw while I was looking at the Bengals apparel inventory -- especially when I started looking at the...

With most people agreeing that the Bengals 2009 season will be decided by the success of the Offensive line, James Walker from ESPN's AFC North Blog asks his readers to decide which line in the AFC North is worse, Steelers or Bengals. There are too many reasons for me to say the Bengals have the better line. For one I am a Bengals, and I'm drunk from the offseason Kool-aid, and somebody made it a double...

If there's a single player that I miss the most that used to play for the Cincinnati Bengals , it's Willie Anderson . He was perhaps the most underrated offensive tackle in the NFL until late in his Bengals career. A Three-time First Team All-Pro, a Four-time Pro Bowler and a leader in the clubhouse, Anderson was the only guy that would say shut up, and Chad Ochocinco Johnson shut up. When he joined...

Each year, we examine the team's roster heading into training camp and predict which veteran players will miss the cut. Much of the reasoning is cost -- aka, salary cap casualties. Levi Jones would have been a perfect example -- but he was released several months ago. Other times the issue is simply age, allowing the team to turnover into youth. This year's list isn't so much cost, as it is availability,...

The biggest thing that makes an offense go is the offensive line. Every expert will tell you that if an offensive line can't protect the passer or open holes for the running back, the offense will struggle. The Bengals have what is considered one of the best quarterbacks in the league with Carson Palmer . When given time to throw, he is the biggest reason the offense has been feared recently. OK, until...

James Walker, writer for the AFC North blog on ESPN.com, put together his 4th list of comments that people had to say about the division during this time last summer.
