oldschooler Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Updated: 7 p.m. The Bengals were hit with a bevy of injuries Wednesday and even though quarterback [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/carson-palmer/b2e2fb04-af84-4af9-9491-5c1dd3354623/"]Carson Palmer[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] (throwing shoulder) and wide receiver [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/chad-ochocinco/09ddc7d1-e507-4a75-ab2b-f6f17723cbf8/"]Chad Ochocinco[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] (ankle) weren't on the practice field, the one that has to concern them the most is the foot injury suffered by right tackle [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/andre-smith/5796e85d-6992-4b91-9630-fde615747967/"]Andre Smith[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] during practice. After getting carted off the field, it is believed to be the same foot he broke three days into his rookie season, an injury that prevented him playing full time until the last three games. The injury took Smith out of the first 10 games of last season and when he had surgery on it back in January it wiped out all the spring drills and training camp for him. Head coach Marvin Lewis had no information on Smith as he came off the field, but he indicated Palmer and Ocho will play Sunday. Smith was seen walking out of the building. With [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/dennis-roland/c75f3b1c-fdcf-4326-8005-cff3ad960c4e/"]Dennis Roland[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] struggling at right tackle last month, Smith got promoted and has had a tough baptism against some of the NFL's elite rushers. He got benched for a play in the third quarter against Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley on Monday night and Roland gave up a sack on the one play he came into the game before Smith checked back into the game. If Smith can't go Sunday in Indianapolis, who gets the nod against another elite rusher, left end Robert Mathis? The options are Roland and [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/anthony-collins/979c0707-f228-466d-9816-fb459e5634b5/"]Anthony Collins[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], inactive for the last five games. Mathis is a bear on his home field and has racked up three double-digit sack seasons since 2004 and had 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble when the Bengals last played the Colts in 2008. He's got 6.5 sacks already at the halfway mark.

If I were Palmer I would be embellishing the shoulder injury so I don't get killed on Sunday [/quote] This might not be far from his mind. The team is 2-6 and going nowhere. Mathis is a beast and will destroy Roland all day, even if Andre can play, if I'm carson I wake up with a REALLY sore shoulder sunday morning lol But he won't do that I think. If Carson's able, he'll play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengaled Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 this is just so goddamned sad. i feel so bad for andre. he had worked his ass off, been through so much bullshit, taken so much heat, and despite all that just put his head down and kept working to get better every day. against all odds. now this. so unfair.

Whodonkeys Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 They slip in that he walked out of the building. No mention of crutches or a boot so I would take that as a good sign. That or shoddy reporting if we come to hear it's broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillybengal Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I still stand by my thought that he hurt that foot prior to signing the contract last year and that is why the deal got done all of the sudden and then three days later, it's broken. It will never heal correctly, the dude is over 3 bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] x2. I think they need to, as the season goes on (playoffs are highly unlikely - 9-7 would be the very worst they'd have to be, and with Balt, Pitt, SD, NO, and Indy ahead...) they need to make some evaluations on some guys who could be important piece parts of their future... guys like Collins, Caldwell, Simpson, Coffman, etc. I think Collins has talent. Roland, OTOH, doesn't have much, and IMO isn't a piece part - he was a nice surprise last year, but as the year wore on, he showed that he's not a long-term answer - and this year has sealed it for me. Collins might be someone that's a piece of the puzzle on the OL for beyond 2010, along with Stephens and perhaps Otis Hudson . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalTillIDie Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 If what you say is true about Andre's foot being broken and the reason for the quick contract, add the Antonio Bryant fiasco and somebody needs to be walking down Pete Rose Way looking for a job. If it turns out Mike overruled in either or both cases, now that would be some funny shit wouldn't it?[img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] WOW! take a moment and think about how stupid that actually sounds. did you even bother to consider how the guy's appearance and gait was before and after the incident? don't you suppose SOMEONE might have picked up on it during wind sprints and other conditioning drills, as well as the practice plays he ran from the LOS prior to the actual accident. andre came into camp in the range of 360 lbs. and you REALLY think he could hide a broken foot while running on it with that poundage? you couldn't have put much logical thought into that conspiracy prior to sharing it with us.
