Big week begins

Holcomb is indeed hurt with a "tiny" fracture in his ankle. Maybe he could play Sunday, I don't know, but I hope the team is cautious. While it would make for an interesting scenario with Couch starting at home, I wouldn't hesitate to put him in there if there were any questions about Holcomb's health. Especially if a week off will get him completely healthy.

This weekend's matchup vs. the Bengals won't be an easy game. Although 0-3, the Bengals have played reasonably well thusfar and the Browns need to show up to win. Chad Johnson is perhaps the best young receiver in the AFC and Peter Warrick is showing some life this year as well. Corey Dillion sounds like he'll play this week despite suffering a groin injury against the Steelers. This is significant because Dillon historically has played very well against us and the Bengals don't appear to have a lot of depth behind him. It's very conceivable the Bengals put up some points.
