Don't laugh - they need a third down and short yardage back who can catch. DW does not have Irons' wheels but somebody like him is likely to be viewed now that Irons is done till the spring. (As in a player cut from squad as teams trim down).
And shoegirl - please don't curse him with the Ki-Jana voodoo doll

Makes you wonder what these GM's are looking at sometimes.

I agree wholeheartedly - but seeing him struggle against, at best, their 2nd string WR who will see the field at most 5% of the time was a brutal reminder of those facts.

Its like the NFL dodged the bullet and didn't buy into Shazor then just puked all over themselves and bought into Hall. Same guy if you ask me.

I didn't see Hall in there in the second half, and it was Ndukwe that got burned on the 83-yard play. To me, the lack of any pass rush is what our problem is, just like last year, and the year before, and the year before, etc. I can't wait to play NE and watch Tom Brady get 10 minutes of protection while he waits for Randy Moss to start running hard. It's going to be another banner year for opposing QB's.

Bengals
Ratliff wants playing time -- somewhere
Whitehall grad facing stiff competition at cornerback

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
 Al BehrmanAssociated Press
If Keiwan Ratliff can't have ample playing time, he would prefer to play somewhere other than Cincinnati.
GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Keiwan Ratliff has lined up with the starters throughout Bengals training camp. That's the good news for the Whitehall graduate.
The bad news is that it's probably not destined to last. His status on the team could be in peril.
Playing with the first unit this summer has been largely a function of Johnathan Joseph's foot surgery and rookie Leon Hall's brief holdout. Those two are Cincinnati's most recent first-round picks. With Deltha O'Neal playing better than he did last year, Ratliff could be squeezed out.

Bengals camp
Mayor wears football partisanship on sleeve

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- It's not often a politician is willing to say something he knows will upset half of his constituency, but Columbus mayor Michael B. Coleman didn't care.
When it comes to the NFL, Coleman doesn't try to hide his allegiance. He's a Bengals man.
Yesterday, it was Hizzoner's honor to be the Bengals' guest at training camp. Decked out in a Bengals shirt, shorts and hat, Coleman stood on the sideline chatting with Bengals president Mike Brown. He sounded almost awe-struck talking about his conversation with coach Marvin Lewis, and during Lewis' news conference, Coleman stepped off to the side to snap a picture with a disposable camera.

Bengals right tackle healing, but slowly

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
CINCINNATI -- With size 19EEE feet, Willie Anderson wears the biggest shoes in Bengals history -- literally and, in the past decade, perhaps figuratively.
Now it's no sure thing that Anderson, a four-time Pro Bowler revered as the team's sage, will be ready for Cincinnati's opener Sept. 10 against Baltimore. Wearing a protective boot on his right foot, Anderson revealed yesterday that he underwent a "procedure" last week in Atlanta.
