Here's a look at the UZR/150 numbers for 2009. Innings UZR/150 Crisp 412 13.9 Maier 593 2.7 DeJesus 25 -1.4 Freel 32 -2.0 Bloomquist 164 -2.2 Anderson 192 -3.0 I think we can mostly throw out the data for DDJ and Freel, who simply weren't in centerfield enough to generate a meaningful sample. Considering that UZR/150 is a rate stat (what their UZR would be in 150 games) a -1.4 or a -2.0 is basically...

In addition to his usual stream of boisterous nonsense, Chad Ochocinco has been a rare source of candor the last few months. When you have no filter, everything, for better or worse, is going to flow forth. It was curious when he stated a while back that Bill Belichick is a better coach than Marvin Lewis, a fact few would dispute, but probably not the best statement to come from a player under Lewis'...

More photos » by Al Behrman - AP Browse more photos » Via Greg Bedard : The Packers worked out former Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Levi Jones on Monday, a source confirmed. According to the Football Outsiders Almanac 2009, Jones "displayed all the mobility of the Roebling Bridge " last season, so this isn't a move to get excited about. Wear-and-tear might have finally caught...

Shortly after the fluky loss to the Bronco's on a tipped pass that should have fallen to the ground harmlessly, stats came out showing Carson Palmers record not as good as once thought. Yes, the offense has struggled mightily and offensive line has taken the brunt of the criticism. But is this the true cause to the problem? Besides the injuries to such players such as Willie Anderson and Levi Jones...

The Carroll County Times reports the Ravens have reached out to retired OT Willie Anderson: The Ravens acknowledged speaking with retired former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Willie Anderson, but don’t believe he’s physically able to play at this point. “Willie’s whole thing is physical,” Harbaugh said. “He has a tremendous desire to play. We still talk [...]

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...

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...

+ Dayton Daily News did the unthinkable. They did a Willie Anderson , letting Hall of Fame baseball writer Hal McCoy go . The newspaper told me today that it will no longer cover the Cincinnati Reds the same way it has in the past, beginning next season. And don’t blame the paper. It is the economic times and we’re all suffering. They just can’t afford the more than a quarter of a...

This story, along with the same headline, could have been written the day the 2008 season ended with the loss in the AFC Championship Game in Pittsburgh to the Steelers . Obviously, a full year of experience under the belt of a rookie QB plus the chance to have the entire off season to prepare to be the starter in 2009 is a major benefit to Joe Flacco . Then came the NFL Draft and while many fans were...

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...

Last year, offensive line coach Paul Alexander watched his long-time leader Willie Anderson mosey out of Georgetown College to give way to the franchise-tagged Stacy Andrews. In the off-season, Andrews was set free to give way to first-rounder Andre Smith. If training camp starts without Smith signed and on the field, then Smith gives way [...]
