The Cincinnati Bengals play football against someone other than themselves this week! That\u2019s not the only thing going on though. We\u2019re nearing preseason Week 1, which means the regular season is also just around the corner. There is plenty going on, though. The front office will begin the process of deciding who will make the final 53-man roster once they get some game tape on the second and third string guys, and a lot more as the greatest professional sports league in the world comes back to us.<\/p>\n
Here are some other goings on as we approach the 24-hour mark until the Bengals\u2019 preseason opener:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been breaking the rule for eight years,\u201d Taylor joked to reporters Tuesday morning. \u201cBecause I\u2019ve never thrown the challenge flag. Doug [Rosfeld]\u2019s always thrown the challenge flag, and they know that. They ask you that in pregame, \u2018who\u2019s got the flag?\u2019 So it\u2019s never been an issue. I didn\u2019t even know it was frowned upon, I guess, and I know that there\u2019s other coaches in the league; I\u2019m not the only one that\u2019s done that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHis demeanor is more aggressive,\u201d Chase said. \u201cHis face is more aggressive, the way he talks is more aggressive. He\u2019s got a little mean mug on his face a little bit. I kind of like when he\u2019s like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something I\u2019ve been working on since day one of the offseason and it\u2019s going to show this year,\u201d Brooks said. \u201cMaking guys miss in space, being explosive after the catch, and learning all of my routes. It\u2019s a focal point to take another step in this offense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Bengals play football against someone other than themselves this week!
