Defender to help out in a hurry
Thursday, September 20, 2007 3:39 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
CINCINNATI -- Linebacker Dhani Jones isn't sure how he fits into the Bengals defense just yet.
He's just glad he fits somewhere.
Jones signed with Cincinnati yesterday after the Bengals cut Andre Frazier. Jones has started 85 games in eight NFL seasons. New Orleans released him at the end of the preseason, and he was waiting by the phone.
So when he was asked whether he was a weak-side or strong-side guy, he replied, "I'm a job guy."

Rookie DB gets a reality check
Hall puts mistakes behind him, looks ahead to Seattle

 Tony DejakAssociated Press
The Browns' Joe Jurevicius, right, catches a 17-yard TD pass against the Bengals' Leon Hall.
CINCINNATI -- To hear his coaches talk, Leon Hall joined the Bengals as almost a fully formed NFL player.
They raved about his maturity. They raved about how fundamentally polished he was.
Rookie cornerbacks usually face plenty of pressure. Receivers are so talented. Schemes are so complex.

Mistakes aren't the only things that are behind him. The opposition's receivers for starters.

Injuries put Holt on receiving end of offense more
Saturday, September 22, 2007 6:33 AM

The Columbus Dispatch
Glenn Holt
He took a nasty helmet-to-helmet hit last week and pronounced himself fit minutes later.
He caught a touchdown pass despite excruciating pain from leg cramps.
For Bengals receiver Glenn Holt, that's a price he's perfectly willing to pay if it will advance his unlikely NFL career.
"Once you get these opportunities, you can't let them go to waste," he said. "That's the one thing I don't do. I don't waste opportunities."
Holt has a golden one now. With Chris Henry suspended and Tab Perry out because of a pulled hamstring, Holt is expected to be the No. 3 receiver Sunday for the Bengals when they play at the Seattle Seahawks.

Bengals feel heat not to blow early chances
Sunday, September 23, 2007 3:56 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
In 2002, the Seattle Seahawks moved from the AFC to the NFC when the NFL realigned after the addition of the Houston Texans.
Talk about a good career move.
Two years ago, the Seahawks made the Super Bowl, a feat they failed to achieve in 25 seasons in the AFC.
Last week, the Seahawks lost to the Arizona Cardinals to fall to 1-1 heading into today's game against the visiting Bengals. Nobody in the Pacific Northwest is panicking. The conventional wisdom is that Seattle is a safe bet to return to the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
Last week, the Bengals lost to Cleveland to fall to 1-1. Already in Cincinnati, there is concern about the Bengals' playoff viability, and not just because of the defensive collapse that allowed the Browns to ring up 51 points.

I truly dont understand our defensive schemes. We are forced to play zone coverage because our cornerbacks aren't any good (its not like we used our last two first round picks on them or anything), and thus cant blitz. When we dont blitz, we cant generate any pressure with our defensive line because we have no good pass rushers on the team, thus giving the opposing QB's all day to pick apart our zone coverage.
While its still early, I don't think there is any way that we get the playoffs in the AFC with this defense. At the end of the season we need to let Justin Smith go, as we are paying him way too much considering how little he contributes, and figure out a way to move up to draft a stud DE like Lawrence Jackson, Quinton Groves, Chris Long or Calais Campbell so that we can start getting some pressure on the QB from the front four.
