Randall Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Cincinnati Bengals: Chad Johnson didn't want to leave. When coach Marvin Lewis decided that his Pro Bowl receiver had done enough with three catches during the Bengals' intrasquad scrimmage Friday night, Johnson waved his arms and pleaded his case for more time. Told that he was finished, Johnson removed his helmet and dropped his head in disgust. He sidled up to teammate T.J. Houshmandzadeh and complained about the unfairness of it all. With three plays, he did plenty. Johnson had the most impressive play of the scrimmage -- no surprise there -- and showed that his timing with Carson Palmer is nearly perfect with a month left before the season opener. He just wished he'd gotten a few more passes in an otherwise humdrum workout in front of 8,500 fans on a hot, muggy evening. "I didn't play long enough," Johnson groused. "Didn't play long enough at all. I'm very upset. It's sort of like teasing us a bit." His three connections with Palmer amounted to a tease of what could be ahead for one of the NFL's most dangerous pass tandems. Palmer has fully recovered from reconstructive knee surgery that limited him in training camp last year and hurt their timing on pass routes heading into the season. No such problems this year. "He's 100 percent right now," Johnson said. "We're going to be fine. No. 9 and No. 85 equals seven [seven points]." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Gotta Love Roy Williams Once practice had concluded and Williams began signing autographs for the rest of the fans in attendance, he saw another youngster sporting a Charles Rogers jersey. Williams decided the boy needed a change and took him over to the merchandise stand to pick out a No. 11 jersey. Williams: “No disrespect to Charles Rogers at all, whatsoever. It’s just … he’s got to get in a Roy Williams jersey. Charles was good here, but he’s no longer here. So we’ve got to get him in the updated version, 2007, and there’s no better number than No. 11.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
