  • Third and nothing

    11-20-09, 7:55 a.m. Everybody has thrown their two cents into the nickel package so effectively lately that the Bengals defense has turned third down into money. “The way we look at third down,” said Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph, “is if we hold...

Q (11/10/09): Will the injury to Chris Henry make room for Jerome Simpson to finally be active? Or will they still go in a different direction, like signing a free agent? 
--Brandon, Fairfield, OH
A: They’ll do one of two things: Play Simpson or sign Maurice Purify from the practice squad. They won’t go get a new guy at this point. They need a guy that knows the system. Simpson offers traits they lose with Henry, such as speed and the long ball. But Purify is a big man (225 pounds) with good speed who has won the confidence of Carson and can help them more on special teams than Simpson. Coaches and DBs love the way Purify practices and he’s given the defenses good looks during the week, when he usually plays the role of the opponent’s leading receiver. Read More

"If you watched our games last season, you could see the foundation being laid. Under Zimmer our defense was getting in sync and our offense was establishing the run. The draft came next and like a 2001 fastball thrown to Barry Bonds, we CRUSHED IT! Then we had our best free agency period ever. My only question about the Bengals was the O-line. After reading every Hobson article about Kyle Cook, I knew he was the real deal. By all accounts he was one of the smartest and strongest guys on the team. I was sold. You lose more games with mental mistakes than with physical ones, and I had a very good feeling Cook wasn't gonna let that happen. And I was positive Zim wouldn't let that happen with our defense. Looking at our team, and believing Palmer was completely healthy, I had a very good vibe about our team if we could avoid the injury bug."
