Rivers signed!

No. 1 choice Rivers on board | Cincinnati Enquirer | Cincinnati.Com

Rudi rebuilt, rejuvenated
Johnson healthy and more bulked up in his effort to carry Bengals' running game
Sunday, August 3, 2008 3:17 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
 Neal C. LauronDispatch
GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- During his first carry of the first night practice of his eighth NFL training camp, Bengals running back Rudi Johnson burst through the hole and bounced off a defensive back. A buzz ran through the crowd.
The season opener is more than a month away, and players were not even in full equipment, but the sight of Johnson gaining 5 yards on an otherwise-meaningless play meant a lot to the Bengals and their fans, who are desperate for a winning season after back-to-back disappointments.
"You can see that little pop, that little zip compared to last year," running backs coach Jim Anderson said. "He was trying to do it then, but he just didn't have that burst."

Bengals: Who will be No. 3?
With Chris Henry gone, team is searching for a third receiver to team with Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh
Wednesday, August 6, 2008 3:03 AM
By Scott Priestle
The Columbus Dispatch
GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- The Bengals have as good a pair of receivers as any in the league, and the duo could be better this season if Chad Johnson's ankle is finally healed after two years of playing in pain. The focus of training camp is developing a complement and a replacement for Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Rookies Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell have the tools to someday become top-three receivers, but the learning curve is steep. The Bengals drafted them this year in the hope they can make a significant impact by next year, and Simpson's struggles early in camp underscore the need for patience.
Somebody else likely will have to replace the departed Chris Henry, who was effective as a deep threat when he was able to play.

Going camping: Keith Rivers
Thursday, August 7, 2008 3:16 AM
 Cara Owsley Associated Press
Keith Rivers showed his inexperience by doing the wrong exercise during warm-ups at his first Bengals practice.
Bengals linebacker
Vitals: 22 years old, 6 feet 2, 241 pounds
Last season: A standout at Southern California and the ninth overall draft pick
This season: Starting outside linebacker, provided he can overcome missing 10 days because of a contract holdout
Linebacker Keith Rivers made his first mistake at the start of his first practice with the Cincinnati Bengals, and his teammates let him know it.
Rivers, who signed a five-year contract late Tuesday night and joined the team yesterday at training camp, did the wrong exercise -- jumping jacks -- at the end of calisthenics, drawing a round of boos from teammates.

If you remember the amazing adjectives the Cincinnati Bengals used on Coastal Carolina receiver Jerome Simpson when they seemed to reach up a few rounds to pick him in the second round -- "spectacular" and "acrobatic" -- skeptics probably knew there had to be some rough spots.
They finally got one peek, courtesy of Chick Ludwig's Bengals blog for the Dayton Daily News. Ludwig said that Simpson slowed down after making a nice catch and got stripped of the ball by strong safety Dexter Jackson, which incited a strong response from receivers coach Mike Shappard.
"You did that at Coastal!" Sheppard screamed. "You don't do that here!"
