With the league deadline for getting every NFL team to 53 players just hours away, the Bengals face some tough decisions.
The common thought process in Bengaldom right now is that Rudi Johnson will be hacked after his zero carry, zero yard performance in Indianapolis last night. Definitely a possibility, but who else?
Other (veteran) names that are being thrown around include Ahmad Brooks (pretty much a given), Dexter Jackson (OK but the secondary is now EXTREMELY young), and Jeremi Johnson.
Rumors persist in the ears of WDR editors that a 'big' name (not Rudi) will be cut tomorrow that will definitely raise some eyebrows. Levi Jones? John Thornton?
We will all find out tomorrow who will be heading to Baltimore to take out the Ravens. Make sure to bring your playbook.
Could be Big Willie. That would save $1,600,000 although there would be some dead money, which surely Michael B hates as evidenced by Chadgate. $3,600,000 in dead money to be exact for Willie.

No way it's Willie. Not with Andrews sucking all preseason.
Can't be Rudi, everyone expects it.
Housh? Doubtful.
Thornton. Will the Bengals finally do what we've been wanting them to do for eons?
