Bengals hired Hue Jackson as running backs coach and special assistant to Marv Lewis.

Wasn't he already on their staff? What was he QB's coach? I might be wrong on this one.

CBS Sports: Bengals biggest winner in AFCN

I'm guessing Pittsburgh enjoys being written off before the 2013 season begins as much as the Ravens do. Cincinnati, thanks to having a ton of cap room going into the offseason, has kept the entire core of a talented team. Makes sense that the pundits will crown them as the division favorite headed into the season. Good for them. I still think the AFCN is wide open.

Pacman at it again.  "Protecting himself" by slapping a woman outside a bar.

Pacman at it again.  "Protecting himself" by slapping a woman outside a bar.

 

Here's security camera footage of the incident:

There's no audio, so there's not a lot of context.  It looks like a woman poured a drink on Jones and then Jones punched her (hard).

[Mackus]

I think it's a real stretch to call that self-defense.  The chick was across a fence from him, just walk backwards and it's over. 

 

The woman definitely did something classless, but Pacman should know by now that he can't react to things like that.  He should get arrested and suspended.  The woman should also be arrested if she hit him with the bottle and charged with assault as well.  If she only threw the drink on him, I think that may still be a crime of some sort, though a very minor one.

I was hoping we would see a new team, but it is fun to laugh at Mike Brown and his legendary cheapness.

 

The last Hard Knocks had a plot where Brown tried to turn a DL to a TE rather than spend the money to bring in another body for TE. I remember Marvin Lewis just staring and not being able to say no.

I also found it hilarious that the Bengals were pretty much 1 of 2 teams willing to do it apparently. And it's probably obvious that it wasn't Marvin Lewis who was willing to do it, so much as Mike Brown forcing them to do it.

Do you guys buy into this Eifert/Gresham two TE scheme hype?

 

I don't. Neither can block and that's a big part of why the Patriots were able to run the two TE sets effectively as Gronkowsi is a good blocker. Gresham was one of the worst blocking TE's in the league last year.
