CB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1113524/jerraud-powers"]Jerraud Powers[/url] (hamstring) did not practice all week but surprisingly is active for the Colts. The struggles in pass defense have been pronounced the past few weeks, particularly teams picking on CB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1675168/jacob-lacey"]Jacob Lacey[/url]. If Powers can play, he will be needed to slow explosive Bengals rookie WR [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1673207/aj-green"]A.J. Green[/url].

The Bengals should be expected to test Colts CB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1113524/jerraud-powers"]Jerraud Powers[/url] (hamstring) early and often if he lines up on WR [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1673207/aj-green"]A.J. Green[/url]. Powers didn't practice all week, but is surprisingly active and expected to start. QB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1125961/andy-dalton"]Andy Dalton[/url] loves to target Green anyway, but seeing how healthy Powers actually is will be important information

As expected LB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/1675034/dan-skuta"]Dan Skuta[/url] will start in place of injured LB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/559367/rey-maualuga"]Rey Maualuga[/url] (ankle). This will be Skuta's first start on defense -- he started a game at fullback last season -- and this will be the biggest game in the career of the third-year pro. How he handles the pressure could be a factor in the outcome.

[b] [size=6]Skuta gets nod[/size][/b]

By GEOFF HOBSON
Posted 11 minutes ago




As expected Sunday against the Colts at Paul Brown Stadium, middle linebacker [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/dan-skuta/1a013160-8ab3-4f48-88a4-3959b11bdc34/"]Dan Skuta[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] got his second NFL start Sunday after [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/rey-maualuga/72e4f750-08d1-4fa5-abee-a5cfebe1389b/"]Rey Maualuga[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] sprained his ankle in practice last week.

Maualuga headed the inactive list with cornerback [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/kelly-jennings/1801d27f-cbb8-42ba-ac00-d722e465ec46/"]Kelly Jennings[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url] (hamstring) missing his second straight game. Also out were safety [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/robert-sands/ec3adc14-1481-42c6-8037-664e018eaa70/"]Robert Sands[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], linebacker [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/dontay-moch/e9d1f1b8-9b58-481c-822f-6fc47d9e14ce/"]Dontay Moch[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], guard [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/clint-boling/f7ed97f5-f482-4f8d-b799-6e57357a7b43/"]Clint Boling[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], tight end [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/colin-cochart/165c272b-a1ab-419a-9e9f-bda805a4281a/"]Colin Cochart[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], and wide receiver [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/ryan-whalen/e84aa0ea-6783-4841-a7a0-9394d3be48cc/"]Ryan Whalen[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url].

It will be interesting to see if Maualuga’s injury opens the door for backers other than Skuta. [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/brandon-johnson/f5c0cc4a-90a3-4bd7-9b79-810ad074c30c/"]Brandon Johnson[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], a regular in the nickel package the past few seasons before the arrival of free agent [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/thomas-howard/f5e10c69-eb41-48c5-a572-93cf2c5ae315/"]Thomas Howard[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], has been basically playing only special teams.

The weather report of sunny and 70ish degrees looked to be holding up, but there could be wind gusts beyond the projected 13 miles per hour.

SLANTS AND SCREENS: Both Peyton Manning and Kerry Collins were inactive for the Colts, as well as running back Joseph Addai and left tackle Anthony Castonzo. That moved right guard Ryan Diem to right tackle and right tackle Jeff Linkenbach to left tackle…

With the bye next week, let the speculation begin on the Bengals beginning the process of possibly extending the contracts of players either heading into free agency or the last year of their contracts.

In the wake of the extensions to cornerback [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/leon-hall/0f379744-8ae4-4952-8f53-75c2f38f43ec/"]Leon Hall[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], left tackle [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/andrew-whitworth/3a81696e-e6b3-4abd-8dd0-85e8748fa086/"]Andrew Whitworth[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], and center [url="http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/kyle-cook/08372b6a-54c6-41a4-9f45-cda2ee64e29c/"]Kyle Cook[img]http://www.bengals.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif[/img][/url], Bengals.com reported on Sept 5 that the club looked to be about $17-18 million under the salary cap but were reserving money in three key areas that included possible extensions.

“Still uncertain of quarterback Carson Palmer’s plans, they have said they’re going to set aside his $11.5 million salary. It is believed they have also kept a $5.5 million chunk available, which is due right tackleAndre Smith if he plays 45 percent of the snaps and he looks headed that way.”

The Bengals also keep a pad reserved to replace injured players, as well as extensions. Now six weeks into the season the number for Palmer is at about $7 million, which would give them some room to work

DE [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/player/584099/michael-johnson"]Michael Johnson[/url] has been great this season at speed rushing around the blind side and swiping at the ball in the quarterback's hand. He owns a favorable matchup to continue the trend Sunday with usual right tackle, second-year undrafted free agent Jeff Linkenbach, starting at left tackle.

[url="http://twitter.com/#!/search?q=%23colts"][s]#[/s][b]colts[/b][/url] lineup changes: Linkenbach to LT, Diem to RT and Pollak to RG







Seriously...if MJ93 can't beat a dude named Linkenbach for 2+ sacks today, we don't deserve to win.

Linkenbach's a good band, though. Like the music.

what did he say?

This feels eerily similar to the Denver game. Far inferior team comes in and there is no doubt we will win. Hopefully we don't shit the bed again.

true, but Denver was on the road.
