| Big Orange Machine would like to send our prayers for the friends, family, and fans of Chris Henry who passed away way to young. I have always been a big Chris Henry fan and this breaks my heart to hear of the news of his death. At 26 Chris seemed to be growing into a man and I was proud of him and proud of the Bengals for giving him another chance and resigning him. I was at his last NFL game at home vs the Ravens when he broke his forearm. This is beyond football and just sad, the Bengals have dedicated this season to Chris Henry and I hope to see us play some passionate football for his honor. I pray for his 3 kids. Rest in peace Chris Henry, #15 will always be remembered and was really a good guy. |

| The Bengals return
to Paul Brown Stadium this Sunday, looking to wrap up the AFC North
Division title after losing both ends of a two-game road trip against
foes with a current combined record of 22-6. Last week at San Diego,
Cincinnati fell just short in a bid to gain the inside track for the
No. 2 AFC playoff seed. The Chargers won 27-24 when Nate Kaeding —
the most accurate career field goal kicker in NFL history —
nailed a 52-yard three-pointer with :03 to play. The Bengals can secure their second division crown under Lewis — and at least a home game in the first playoff round — with just one win or one Baltimore loss over the regular season’s final two weeks. |

aim to clinch division title Sunday in Minnesota Only unbeaten Indianapolis and New Orleans have clinched NFL division championships through Week 13, but the Bengals can secure a Week 14 clinching of the AFC North crown with a win at Minnesota this Sunday. And Cincinnati’s date at the 10-2 Vikings means more than that. The team quite simply is eager for a test against one of the NFC’s elite contenders. Cincinnati rose to 9-3 last week with a 23-13 decision over Detroit. The win completed a three-game stretch against opponents that all had two or fewer victories. The Bengals finished the stretch at 2-1, losing at Oakland and beating visiting Cleveland before downing the Lions. TV: CBS team of Greg Gumbel (play-by-play) and Dan Dierdorf (analyst). Live on Channel 12 in Cincinnati, Channel 10 in Columbus, OH, Channel 7 in Dayton, OH, and Channel 27 in Lexington, KY. INJURIES CIN: DT Domata Peko (knee) is recovering from a scope and the hope is he’ll be ready to play in the Jan. 3 finale. RB and kick returner Bernard Scott (toe) is out for the second straight week. Starting S Chris Crocker (ankle) has said he’ll play but he missed the Wednesday and Thursday practices. So did backup S Kyries Hebert (knee), the special teams captain. Nickel back Morgan Trent (knee) went limited Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. MIN:
The Vikes are more dinged than the Bengals after Sunday night’s
loss to Arizona. Starting WR Percy Harvin (headches) and starting
S Tryell Johnson (concussion) missed Wednesday and Thursday. Johnson
isn’t expected to play. After sitting out Wednesday, starting
RB Adrian Peterson (foot/ankle) and starting RT Phil Loadholt (shoulder)
were limited. Key starters who have been limited Wednesday and Thursday
were G Steve Hutchinson (shoulder), DT Pat Williams (foot), TE Visanthe
Shiancoe (ribs), LT Bryant McKinnie (ankle), CB Antoine Winfield
(foot), and WR Bernard Berrian (hamstring). Winfield hasn’t
played in six games, but some in Minnesota think he might play.

| INJURIES
CIN: RB Cedric Benson (hip) practiced Friday after not going Wednesday and Thursday in an effort to make a call for Sunday. It’s the first time he’s worked since missing the last six quarters. DT Domata Peko (knee) also practiced for the first time this week Friday after getting hurt last Sunday. WLB Keith Rivers (calf) was limited Wednesday and Thursday and looked like he’s ready to play after missing the last two games. WR Laveranues Coles (chest) also didn’t work Wednesday and Thursday, but it’s believed he has a chance to play. Various players were limited earlier in the week, such as CBs Johnathan Joseph (foot) and Morgan Trent (ankle), and LE Robert Geathers (hip) but they are also expected to go. CLE: NT Shaun Rogers (ankle) didn’t practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he’s expected to go. RB Jamal Lewis (ankle) and defensive captain ILB David Bowens (knee) were limited Wednesday and Thursday and are expected to go. Starting RG Rex Hadnot (knee) was out Wednesday but looked OK after coming back to limited status Thursday. THE SERIES Bengals lead, 37-35; 22-14 in Cincinnati, 5-4 at PBS |

| Bengals sign RB Larry Johnson | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Bengals and Big Orange Machine would like to welcome Larry Johnson to our team. Marvin Lewis has went on record stating that Cedric Benson is still our number 1 running back and the roles of Benard Scott and Brian Leonard will not change with the addition of LJ. This move has been refered to as insurance. Insurance can be a great thing at the end of the day right? Especially when it comes with a low price tag and has a experienced resume that includes 2 seasons with over 1,700 rushing yards! This move will cost the Bengals a little over $500,000 which is the leage vetern minimum salary. The Bengals have little to loose with this move and aquire a 30 year old RB that has a chip on his shoulder with something to prove. He should fit right in with this team with that mind set, who dey! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Former Cowboys safety Roy Williams to visit Cincinnati Thursday | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Bengals.com
writes, per the Dallas Morning News, that former Cowboys safety Roy
Williams will come into Cincinnati on Thursday for a visit (what else
would it be). Williams is considered one of the best safeties available,
and definitely hardest-hitting.
In early March, Williams publicly requested and was given his release on March 5. The former Cowboys first-round pick is only 28 years old, has seven seasons under his belt with five Pro Bowls and one All-Pro selection. In his career, Williams has recorded 611 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 19 picks and 56 passes defensed. He started 92 consecutive games from 2002 to 2007 and returned three interceptions for touchdowns. In 2006, Williams signed a $25 million extension on August 2, with an $11 million signing bonus. He was scheduled to make $4.4 million in 2009. |

for 2009, agreeing to terms with QB J.T. O'Sullivan. Here is the press
release: O'Sullivan (6-2, 227; Cal-Davis) is a seventh-year NFL player. He had his busiest pro season last year, starting the first eight games for San Francisco and playing in nine contests on the year. He finished with a 73.6 passer rating, completing 128-of-220 (58.2 percent) for 1678 yards with eight TDs and 11 INTs. O'Sullivan will replace Ryan Fitzpatrick as the No.2 quarterback in Cincinnati, replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick, who signed with the Buffalo Bills. |

| Laveranues Coles signs 4 year deal | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 The Bengals offense continued its massive transformation Wednesday when various media reports led by ESPN said wide receiver Laveranues Coles has reached a four-year deal in principle. |
On
Friday the Bengals offered Houshmandzadeh a four-year deal that could
have grown to $30 million by hitting an escalator. On Wednesday, it
was reported Coles took four years, $28 million but there were no
details on guarantees or escalators. Coles DOB: Dec. 29, 1977 Housh DOB: Sept. 26, 1977 Coles bests: 91 catches with 2006 Jets, 1,264 yards with 2002 Jets, seven touchdowns with '01 and '08 Jets, 14.7 yards per catch with '01 Jets and '03 Redskins (for seasons with at least 59 catches).

| Cedric Benson resigns with Bengals | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Bengals filled
a major gap Tuesday when they re-signed their starting running back
for the upcoming season a day after Cedric Benson visited the Texans,
the team announced.
After joining the club with the benefit of no training camp after the season's fourth game, Benson finished the year with back-to-back 100-yard games that included the biggest rushing day by a Bengals back in 68 games when he went for 171 against Cleveland. The move also opens up the first couple of rounds of the NFL Draft, where the Bengals now don't have to take a running back. Benson, 26, shed his image as a moody player with off-field problems by becoming one of the few bright spots in the 4-11-1 season with the longest run (46 yards) and longest catch (79) in several seasons. |

T.J.
Houshmandzadeh ended one of the more remarkable careers in Bengals
history Monday when he agreed to terms with the Seahawks after
his recruiting itinerary turned into a siege, according to ESPN.com.
I will miss you TJ, would have loved to see 1 more season with you, Carson, and Chad all healthy. I think it could have been special. |

| Bengal's Franchise Tag Shayne Graham, not TJ Houshmandzadeh | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The
Cincinnati Bengal's have announced that they have placed the franchise
tag on kicker Shayne Graham.
“Shayne has consistently performed at a high level for us, and we expect that same performance in 2009 and hopefully beyond,” said Bengal's coach Marvin Lewis in a team-issued release. “We’ll continue to speak with Shayne and his representatives about signing a longer-term deal.” The move means that all other Bengal's free agents — including receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, running back Cedric Benson, and tackle Stacy Andrews — will hit the market at midnight on February 27, 2009. To franchise Graham, the Bengal's are required to tender Graham a one-year deal worth $2.483 million. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2008-2009 Bengal's Football Season Outlook | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| With
one winning season during his five year tenure, head coach Marvin
Lewis can feel the mounting pressure to succeed. With the NFL cracking
down on bad apples the Bengals have had an ample supply with no postseason
results to make others look the other way. Defense was Lewis' forte
coming to the Queen City and he has never had one that wasn't wholly
dependant on turnovers, which tend to be random from year to year.
One area of defense which should be right up the coach's alley is
creating pressure on the quarterback, yet the Bengals were 32nd in
sacks last season. Looking to improve the unit as a while, and save
his job, Lewis will be hoping his top draft pick LB Keith Rivers,
can become a leader. It is imperative the defense move up to average
from 27th overall for this team to compete since, after years of having
one of the most prodigious scoring attacks, Carson Palmer and his
mates fell to 23.8 PPG (11th). This was much ado to a combination
of less accurate passes by Palmer, sloppy route running and inconsistent
blocking. With how Cincinnati is structered, this has to be a top
five scoring team to reach its goals. The Bengals are trying to rid themselves of bad character guys, as they have played just as bad with them the last two years as they might without. WE Chris Henry was cut and resigned, and the Chad Johnson situation has been a black eye, meaning help is needed at the position. Cincy signed former Raider Doug Gabriel as backup and tended new offers to WR Glenn Holt, LB Cory Mays, LB Rashard Jeanty, and T Stacy Andrews. They did add one weapon who figures to contribute immediately for Palmer, signing free agent Ben Utecht from the Colts. Top draft picks Rivers upgrades the defense if the place him in role to be a disrupter. Meanwhile, selecting Coastal Carolina receiver Jerome Simpson in the second round left the Bengals open to criticism with more well-know names still available. Cincinnati scouts feel his athleticism is on par with more famous former college player and his long arms and lack of character issues made him the better choice. With the Chad Johnson situation still lingering as of press time, its still too early to tell whether the Bengals upgraded themselves or not since January. Hopefully coach Marvin Lewis will have his players more focused in 2008, since he's going to need it. With major injuries in the preseason to the wide receiver corps, the Bengals will have to take on eight of the top 10 defenses in the NFL this season. The Bengals are third choice by odds makers at 9-2 to win the AFC North, clearly showing most experts are not impressed with Cincy coming into the season. If the dense can create turnovers again, and they hold together mentally, this 2008-2009 Bengals team can surprise some folks. |
