Only seven months<br \/>\nafter his reconstructive knee surgery, Palmer isn\u2019t ready to play. Whether he<br \/>\nwill be ready for the season opener remains anyone\u2019s guess, lending weight to<br \/>\nAnthony Wright\u2019s debut as the starting quarterback. His performance during the<br \/>\nfirst two weeks of training camp earned him the chance to start Sunday.<span\nstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'>\u00a0 <\/span>His play so far has won him the first shot at<br \/>\nthe No. 2 job \u2013 which could turn into the No. 1 job if Palmer isn\u2019t ready for<br \/>\nthe season opener. Doug Johnson and rookie Erik Meyer will get to run the<br \/>\noffense after Wright takes his turn against the Redskins. While the Bengals get<br \/>\naccustomed to a new quarterback, the Redskins will get their first experience<br \/>\nwith someone other than <span class=GramE>coach<\/span> Joe Gibbs calling the<br \/>\nplays. Gibbs has turned the offense over to assistant Al Saunders, who is<br \/>\nexpected to open it up during the season. In the first preseason game, it may<br \/>\nnot look a whole lot different. Most teams show little of what they\u2019ll do once<br \/>\nthe games start to count. Brunell is expected to play about a quarter. Then,<br \/>\nnewcomer Todd Collins and quarterback-of-the-future Jason Campbell will launch<br \/>\ntheir competition for the No. 2 job. Collins will play the second quarter, and <st1:City><st1:place>Campbell<\/st1:place><\/st1:City><br \/>\nwill finish the game. They\u2019ll switch roles in the second preseason game. <st1:City><st1:place>Campbell<\/st1:place><\/st1:City><br \/>\ndidn\u2019t get onto the field as a rookie last year, when he was a first-round<br \/>\npick, learning by watching. Now, he gets to show how much he has picked up from<br \/>\nthe sideline. <\/p>\n<h4>Mercury News<\/h4>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>Todd Collins will be first off the bench when starter Mark<br \/>\nBrunell leaves the game, Gibbs said. Don\u2019t read much into it. Collins is first<br \/>\nin this week because Jason Campbell got that honor last week. Collins spent the<br \/>\npast five seasons with Redskins assistant coach Al Saunders in <st1:City><st1:place>Kansas<br \/>\nCity<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> and is familiar with his system, often sharing<br \/>\nhis knowledge in quarterback meetings, Gibbs said. n their preseason meeting<br \/>\nlast Aug. 19, the Bengals defeated the Redskins 24-17 at FedEx Field with the<br \/>\nhelp of two second-quarter interceptions of Patrick Ramsey.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<h4><st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Post<\/h4>\n<p class=MsoBodyText>The entire 2006 home schedule, including the preseason<br \/>\ngames against <st1:State><st1:place>Washington<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and <st1:City><st1:place>Green<br \/>\nBay<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, is sold out at Paul Brown Stadium, which holds<br \/>\n65,500. It\u2019s the first time since the stadium opened in 2000 that the entire<br \/>\nhome schedule sold out in advance of the season. The offseason has seen<br \/>\nconjecture and progress reports regarding Palmer\u2019s rehabilitation and return to<br \/>\nthe field, as well as multiple off-the-field incidents that have included five<br \/>\nplayers being arrested and one player under suspension for the first four games<br \/>\nof the upcoming regular season. In the midst of all that, head coach Marvin<br \/>\nLewis has attempted to keep the focus on leaving 2005 in the past so that it<br \/>\ncan be better in 2006. The Bengals went 11-5 and won the AFC North title last<br \/>\nseason. It was their first winning season and the franchise\u2019s first division<br \/>\nchampionship since 1990. An estimated crowd of 18,700 people showed up last<br \/>\nweekend for an <span class=SpellE>intrasquad<\/span> scrimmage and mock game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday, August 13, 2006 Godspicks.com is the source for online betting information for the sports investor.
