I have no doubt the Browns will beat up at midseason and dawgdom will demand Anderson's carcass in sacrifice.
Don't get me wrong I think the Bengals will have a winning season in the next 20 years.

With the pickup of Corey Williams and Shaun Rogers (Detroit) the defensive line is probably the least of my concerns on the defensive side of the ball. I realize their schedule last year was weak but do I think they will win the Conference this year the answer is yes. The AFC Central teams have a brutal schedule but they all have to play the same teams so we shall see.
Give my best to your boss

Winslow wants to be one of the guys
Pro Bowl tight end, who wants a new contract and is coming back from surgery, says he's a happy camper.
By Tom Withers
Associated Press
Friday, July 25, 2008
BEREA ? Kellen Winslow could be home resting or relaxing on a beach in California with a cold drink as his teammates sweat through grueling two-a-day practices.
If he desired, the Pro Bowl tight end, who wants the Cleveland Browns to tear up his contract which still has three years left, could be just about anywhere but training camp.
Instead, Winslow is where he's happiest ? on the field.
"My job," Winslow said Thursday following the team's first workout in full pads, "is to just be out here and play football. I don't want to be a distraction."
For a while, that's all he was.

Tucker trying to work his way back onto the field
By Tony Grossi
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer
Friday, July 25, 2008
The pain in Ryan Tucker's hip is gone. The pain in the bottom of his stomach is not. It's eating up the 12-year veteran not to be practicing with an offensive line that has turned into one of the league's finest.
Tucker popped out of the trainer's room after Wednesday's morning practice to visit with former teammate Aaron Shea. He is on the active/physically unable to perform list for another three weeks or so.
"I hate watching film when I'm not in it," Tucker said. "But I have a role to play right now and that's to get healthy. We have a great group of guys. It's awesome to be a part of this right now. Obviously I'm not on the field but I'm trying like crazy to be out there. I'm not going to rush. I'll be back out there eventually."

Winslow wants deal, but focus is on field Tight end says he won't be a distraction
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Published on Friday, Jul 25, 2008
BEREA: For perhaps 24 of his 25 years, Kellen Winslow was a magnet for controversy.
So there might have been no better indication of how the Browns' tight end has matured than when he uttered the words Thursday, ''I don't want to be a distraction.''
When he came to the Browns as the sixth overall pick in the 2004 draft, Winslow said something inflammatory every time he talked. He did little to dispel the reputation he had built at the University of Miami with his ''I'm a soldier'' rant after a 2003 game against Tennessee. Then he suffered serious injuries in a 2005 motorcycle accident, which has resulted in four surgeries on his right knee.
It sounded like the same Winslow in February during a Sirius NFL radio interview from the Pro Bowl when he said he wanted his contract renegotiated. Those remarks hinted at brewing trouble, along with his hiring of a new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and his decision to skip voluntary offseason training activities to work out in San Diego.
Winslow attended the mandatory June minicamp but wouldn't speak to the media.
Because several Rosenhaus clients have staged holdouts, some feared Winslow wouldn't report to training camp on time, or at least wouldn't be a happy camper.

Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow focusing on big season, not big contract
Friday, July 25, 2008 Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
In this season of Great Expectations, Kellen Winslow was determined not to be the Great Distraction.
So instead of holding out of camp for the contract extension he's seeking, he showed up on time and is practicing as hard as a rookie trying to make the team.
"I'm sure [the media] probably thought I wasn't coming, but I'm not that type of guy," said Winslow after Thursday morning's practice. "I don't want to be a distraction. My job is to just help this team win and play to the best of my ability."
