[b]Show up ready:[/b] I feel like a broken record, but the Bengals need to show up early in preseason games. So far it's been a turnover-fest for the starting offense and many points allowed for the first-team defense. Through two preseason games, Cincinnati is being outscored 41-10 in the first half when starters get most of the playing time. The Bengals are a young team in need of confidence. Setting the tone at home against Carolina would help.

[b]Strides from [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14012/andy-dalton"]Andy Dalton[/url]:[/b] Cincinnati's second-round pick threw one interception in his first preseason game. Then, Dalton threw two picks and fumbled a handoff with tailback [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/8419/cedric-benson"]Cedric Benson[/url] last week against the [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/nyj/new-york-jets"]New York Jets[/url]. These are not encouraging signs for Cincinnati's projected Week 1 starter. Dalton needs to play better and make strides in the right direction against Carolina. So far he's thrown for just 155 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions in two exhibitions.

[b]Defending [url="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13994/cam-newton"]Cam Newton[/url]:[/b] A lot of eyes nationally will be on Newton, Carolina's No. 1 overall pick who will start at quarterback Thursday night. This is a chance for the Bengals' defense to defend a dual threat at quarterback. Cincinnati’s starting defense improved last week and is expected to lead the team in 2011.

Not exactly a mad crush of people heading to [url="http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23Bengals"]#Bengals[/url] game with [url="http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23Panthers"]#Panthers[/url]. The 333-SEAT girls took turns handing out pocket skeds 1-by-1.

[size=6][b]Bengals-Panthers pregame[/b][/size]
5:46 pm, Aug 25, 2011 | Written by jreedy


Welcome to Paul Brown Stadium where the Bengals host the Panthers in the third preseason game of the season. This is the first preseason meeting between the two teams.

Bengals starters are expected to play the first half while the Panthers first unit could play as much as three quarters.

Bengals not expected to play tonight are CB Adam Jones, CB LeRoy Vann, RB Jay Finley, S Tom Nelson, LB Dontay Moch, LB Keith Rivers, OG Otis Hudson, DE Pat Sims and DE Carlos Dunlap. S Taylor Mays (No. 47) is in uniform but as head coach Marvin Lewis sometimes does, that is not a guarantee that he will play.

Panthers not expected to play tonight are QB Tony Pike, WR David Gettis, CB Brandon Hogan, CB Cletis Gordon, RB Mike Goodson, S Sean Considine, FB Tony Fiammetta, LB Thomas Williams, LB Jon Beason, DT DelJuan Robinson, OT Geoff Schwartz, OT Lee Ziemba, OT Jeff Otah and TE Gary Barnidge.

Some of the more subtle things we are looking at tonight …

[b]WHAT ELSE TO WATCH

Caldwell in the mix:[/b] After missing the Detroit game due to injury, Andre Caldwell had two receptions for 50 yards against the Jets, including a 39-yard reception from Bruce Gradkowski during the third quarter. Gruden has mentioned working Caldwell more into a rotation with A.J. Green and Jerome Simpson. Speaking of Simpson and Green, can they bounce back after being held to a combined one catch against the Jets?
