It seems like every week the Bengals sustain an injury they absolutely cannot afford.This week http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-mark-walton-jersey , it comes to yet another linebacker who could be sidelined. That’s Preston Brown who is among an already depleted linebacker position. It seems the Bengals may be without Brown when they face the Ravens on Sunday, as he was seen wearing a knee brace in Wednesday’s open locker room session with the media. He then did not participate in the open to the media portion of practice.We already knew defensive lineman Adolphus Washington has a knee injury that could sideline him for several weeks. However, this issue with Brown is something new, as he didn’t appear to get injured during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Saints. The Bengals are already without Nick Vigil (knee) and Vontaze Burfict (hip), though they should be close to a return after missing several weeks now. With Brown not practicing too, it’s a BAD sign for the team.If Burfict and Vigil are out on Sunday and Brown can’t go either Womens Clint Boling Jersey , that’s going to put Cincinnati in a world of hurt against a Ravens team that runs the ball well with Alex Collins and just traded for Ty Montgomery.Oh, and did we mention Lamar Jackson could be starting this week at quarterback? That’s the kind of quarterback you want Brown to play against, as Jackson will look to beat the Bengals both on the ground and through the air and could have a field day against a Bengals defense potentially down three starting linebackers. If Brown, Burfict and Vigil are all out this week, the Bengals’ starting linebackers could be Hardy Nickerson, Jordan Evans and Vincent Rey. In other words Tyler Boyd Jersey White , Jackson may be the sleeper fantasy play of Week 11, though it’s not a done deal that he starts as Joe Flacco battles his hip injury. John Harbaugh is keeping his mouth closed in regards to which quarterback will start this week.Maybe rookie Malik Jefferson will get some snaps at linebacker — and not just on special teams — this week. The Bengals’ newest offensive line coach talks about how he ended up in Cincinnati, and how he has changed since his days in Miami."The Bengals lost their offensive line coach Frank Pollack this offseason after letting Marvin Lewis go. This left a hole at an all-important position for Zac Taylor to fill, which he did by hiring Jim Turner. Turner’s past is well documented as he was fired from the Dolphins following the bullying and harassment of Johnathan Martin. Katherine Terrell of ESPN caught up with the new offensive line coach about his coaching style:“Here’s what I know. I’m an Irish Catholic from Boston. I was a lieutenant in the Marine Corps. A lot of what I grew up with in my home and a lot of what I experienced in my time through college and coaching and the military, I use humor a lot to make my point,” Turner told Terrell. “When you’re talking to a group of men http://www.thebengalslockerroom.com/authentic-joe-mixon-jersey , you really have to see what’s the situation? Who are you speaking to?“When I’m standing in a room filled with Marines, it can be harsh and it can be direct as to what you want them to do. You need to make your points. I don’t see the NFL, speaking to an offensive line in the NFL, as much different. And so there are some things said sometimes that wouldn’t come out right if the average citizen walking down the street were to listen to it. Unfortunately, some of the things that I said and some of the things I did with my players had to come out. And so, moving forward Jessie Bates III Jersey White , I just have to be smarter about what I do when I try to use entertainment to motivate the players.”This is at least a start in the right direction. However, apologizing for the actions themselves becoming public and not apologizing for performing and condoning said actions isn’t the preferable course of action here. It is at least good that he admits he can’t participate with stuff like that anymore regardless of the reason.Hazing and/or joking between players and coaches isn’t anything new in traditional football culture, and rarely does it become public knowledge like it did in Miami. Regardless, it still was troubling how Johnathan Martin was treated by fellow players. The fact that Turner fueled and encouraged some of that, is and was disturbing.This is all magnified because of how much Taylor emphasized character as the foundation to his tenure as head coach. This hire at such a critical position for the Bengals has been questionable, but all we are left with is to wait and see if it pays off.It should also be noted that Turner seems very motivated to do a great job for Taylor.“I didn’t leave [Texas A&M] for any other reason Womens Randy Bullock Jersey , I told him that, I said, there’s only one reason I’m leaving and that’s because Zac got this job. If another NFL job presented itself and I didn’t know those people as well, I wouldn’t have left. There really was no reason to leave other than this.”That is probably the most encouraging thing Turner could have said. Time will tell if he will do Taylor proud. If he does turnaround Cincinnati’s offensive line, it is safe to say fans will probably be more open to him. That’s just the way things work in the NFL.
