Greg Little of Cincinnati Bengals says playing against ex-team Cleveland Browns 'personal' - ESPN

We ought to just cut this clown right now. What the fuck has he ever done that allows him to question a team cutting him? He couldn't even make the Raiders. He ended up on our team because we were down 3 receivers from the year before. He's a below average receiver that apparently has a high opinion of himself.

There will be one receiver on the field on Thursday that should have a vendetta..... The Bengals didn't value Baby Hawk enough to even extend him a reasonable tender.... Unlike Little, Hawk has talent and heart. He'll probably put up big numbers on the 'artist formerly known as Leon Hall."

I was wondering who was going to make the first "should have re-signed Hawk" comment this week

 

[DanBengalfan]

some of baby hawks best plays are basically running plays, and we suck at run defense.

he should get at least a few big plays

Oh, come on...... You knew it was going to be me. And you know I'm right!

But hell, let's return to our normally scheduled programming where we talk about how great our front office has been over the past 5-6 years.

Apparently Hawkins is injured and is a game time decision

I'm not sure we can read too much from the injury reports for a Thursday night game.... Not much work to get done during the week. I'm sure Hawk will play -- And I'm interested to see who is in the slot given Leon's injury and Dennard's injury.

Interesting that the one guy called it thigh/knee..... For Marvin Lewis a thigh/knee issue means knee issue and it probably means ACL surgery.

I thought I saw somewhere he's questionable for this game.

Nevermind...responded before I saw this

Also, Cameron is not practicing, and may not play. That would be huge.

he's basically been out of it all season.

 

[cincygrad]

Leon is out. We didn't do well up there last year when he was a scratch..... Of course, that might have something to do with using that corner that could never stay healthy (Ghee?)

Supposed to be a windy game too. Should be interesting.

Yeah, it hurt, but what hurt more was the inability to move the ball. I was actually at that game in Cleveland...ugh. Even without Hall they held Gordon in check. Cameron killed them. So, huge for the defense as well assuming he's out. He has a concussion like Hall, from last week. Not enough time to get out of the league protocol from Sunday to Thursday.

Another big bonus for the Bengals defense...the center sucks. Since they've lost Mack at center, they've averaged 1.9 yards per rush. On the flip side, their defense doesn't stop the run, either...so, if it is windy...could be a boon for Hill and the ground game.

Of course, if it's windy, that means Andy will decide to air it out all night long.

 

[bengaldoug]

If it's going to be windy, I sure hope the gameplan includes a lot of Hill off tackle......can't trust Andy slingin' it in the wind......

 

[cincygrad]

I'm anxious to see how we do against their defense..... I thought that of the three division teams we played last year, we had the most difficulty moving it against Cleveland. The only reason we beat them here in Cincy is that Jason Campbell is terrible, their special teams were bad and Tez made a huge play.

Horton is gone now though..... And the Bengals carved up Pettine's D in Buffalo last year.

They were much harder to run on last year from what I have seen. Of course we were too. The difference is they are missing their center and haven't been able to run it since his injury, while we have an emerging power back begging to be fed. We should do okay on the ground, and that should set up play action downfield, given the wind allows Andy to throw it.

Well, you know Haden is shadowing Green. That matchup hasn't usually gone well.

They need to get Sanu in the slot/middle routes to take advantage on the opposite side. Hell, let Little have his chance Send him on some Fly routes and see if he can't actually catch a ball.

Other than that, it should be a whole hell of a lot of Hill.
