I would go so far as to say that something is fishy with Brooks as well...I mean c'mon...a groin strain/pull and he is gone for 2 months.[/quote] [center][font="Impact"][b][size=6]NOTICE TO ALL GO-BENGALS MEMBERS[/size][/b][/font][/center] In order to keep this a family friendly and politically correct area we respectfully request that when you speak of Ahmad Brooks groin that you do not objectify it. He is not a piece of meat......although his piece of meat was pulled.......well....er.....it's not being pulled.......he banged it up.......er........not that he was banging his meat..........it was banged......well, it was strained..... not from anything sexual though.........it's not like that......he pulled his groin.....well....*HE* didn't actually pull it, it got pulled on the field......not by another player though. I mean.....there's nothing gay going on down on the field......not that there's anything wrong with that. It's alright to be gay......not that Ahmad is gay, even if he was there wouldn't be anything wrong with that. Fuck it!! I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I hope that Rudi comes back with a little fire after watching Watson run the way he has. An extra set of fresh legs and some competition at the RB spot can't hurt the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read between the lines in that article and you can see that Rudi isn't so hot on Kenny's performances. He knows damn well that he's got to prove himself again. I sure hope he does.

Its really up the Rudi now to show he still can be that guy.. Hey I could live with Irons, Watson and Dorsey in the backfield if it came to that next year. they all show explosiveness ..

oldschooler Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 [quote][size=5][b]Thursday update [/b][/size] November 1, 2007 The Bengals are slowly making strides on the injury front. A day after getting running back Rudi Johnson back from a hamstring injury, running back Kenny Watson (concussion) and defensive end Justin Smith (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday. Johnson participated fully in practice Thursday for the second straight day. The other two listed on the official injury report as not practicing Wednesday - defensive tackle John Thornton (neck) and linebacker Caleb Miller (back) - also did not suit up Thursday. Also not on the field Thursday was wide receiver Chad Johnson (ankle), although he looks to be just resting similar to the way he did last week before practicing fully on Friday.[/quote] [url="http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6410"]http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6410[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LudwigVan Kubrick Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 curious that there is no mention of Brooks, other than the "out, along with Willie" comments from Tuesday. Anyone have a progress report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalrick Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 you have to be dumb as hell to root against someone as focused and hard working as Rudi... he is going to have a great second half of the season, simply b/c he will have some fresh legs now that watson will be pushing him for more PT...

BengalInPa Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 So... With both runners back, Who Starts ????? Watson or Rudi ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I don't think it really matters who starts, as I expect both to see a good deal of time. Until Henry is back solidly into the fold, I suspect (and I agree) that we will become a running team to control the clock and make sure we don't make mistakes on offense.

Rumble In the Jungle Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 well, the only reason im starting him cause RB is my weakest spot. i have Ryan Grant from GB, Marion Barber, and Rudi. i can only start two! the rest of my team is the shit.
