Player Notes

April 1, 2008
While reiterating Chad Johnson is staying put and challenging his players "to grow up," head coach Marvin Lewis also stated his offense is going to go back to the basics, according to CincinnatiBengals.com. "This is going to be what's important," Lewis said. "Everybody thinks it's cute to throw the ball around the lot, but you don't win games throwing the ball around the lot." Cincinnati passed the ball 57 percent of the time last season. Its easy to say your team is going to run the ball more, but in reality the Bengals defense probably isnt good enough to keep the team close in games, which often leads to more passing.

March 26, 2008
The Cincinnati Bengals want to run the ball effectively in 2008 in order to set up their deep passing game, according to Bengals.com. "I've talked to Marvin Lewis and he wants to run the ball," Rudi Johnson said this week. "He wants to get it back to when we ran at will and then threw it over people's heads. That's just another reason I'm excited at getting back into my grind. We've gotten away from that." Johnson's pulled hamstring in the third week of last season became the symbol of the Bengals offense coming up lame. The Bengals might have put up gaudy passing numbers with T.J. Houshmandzadeh leading the NFL in catches and Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson setting franchise records for passing and receiving yards, but they couldn't score when they needed points and they couldn't take over games for a depleted defense. Johnson, 28, is entering the trailing edge of his prime, but was one of the most consistent backs in fantasy football from 2003-2006. If Johnson can stay healthy throughout the offseason program, he could be an undervalued selection in this years fantasy drafts.

February 22, 2008
Rudi Johnson, who had a disappointing 07 campaign while battling a hamstring injury, is expected to come back hungry in 2008 - per HC Marvin Lewis, according to Cincinnati.com. Johnson, who lost weight prior to last season in order to gain speed, has adjusted his diet to gain weight so he can return to the bruising style that was so successful previously. From 2004-06, Johnson started 45 games for the Bengals and posted 1000+ rushing yards in each campaign. Johnson, 28, is a quality back who could return to form making him an undervalued player during 2008 fantasy football drafts.

December 29, 2007
Rudi Johnson will miss his second straight game Sunday. He's been ruled out due to his ailing hamstring injury, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. It'll be the fifth contest missed by Johnson in what has been a complete bust of a season. Kenny Watson will handle most of the workload again in Johnson's absence.

December 25, 2007
The Bengals are hoping that Rudi Johnson (hamstring) will be able to play in Week 17, the Cincinnati Enquirer notes. Johnson did not play in Week 16 and has missed four total games on the season.
