WR Houshmandzadeh Not Likely To Play

Mark Curnutte, Cincinnati Enquirer - [Full Article]

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh , suffering from an injured right heel, has not practiced with the team all week and has been downgraded from probable to questionable. Although no official announcement has been made, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis has a history of not starting players who have not practiced.

how good of a play does chris henry become if tj doesnt play?

I'm taking an "I'll believe it when I see it" approach with Henry. If you have more proven options, play them.

Not to hijack, but did you see last season and the preseason? Henry is good and the Bengals usually give him some looks in the redzone too. If TJ is out, Henry becomes a solid play in all leagues

Anyone have any other feedback on whether housyourmama is playing? -Championship!

I have currently R. Brown starting against Hou

Also have henry(v. KC) , roddy white (v. Carolina) and jennings (v. Chicago)

Thoughts??

 

[shims3]

If Housh plays, how effective do you think he will be? Is it worth going to the bench with a guy like A. Bryant?

Yeah, please don't turn this into an ACF thread.

 

[Pigskin75]

What's more scary is what is the extent of the injury. I haven't heard much in this regard. He injured it what, two weeks ago? Just how bad can it be? Was the achilles injured in any way? What are the long term implications?

Personally I think Housh is out this week but my opponent is weak so I'm not really that worried. Matt Jones starts in his place. But I'm more worried about the future.

I have the same sub and am using Engram in another league as a fill in. But what does this mean in the next few weeks? I'm not williing to put him in today unless I hear a coach declare him 100%. Best to rest him and let it heal. I'm playing the guy that took Tiki at #3, letting LT slip to me at 4. And then proceeded to draft Dom Davis and Greg Jones last Saturday. Should be an easy win and being "minus" a lower middle draft pick today shouldn't hurt me too much.Could this be the beginnning of a new ESPN Commercial Curse?!

dont shoot the mailman here...but a guy on another board that i use states that he is staying in the same hotel as the bengals and last nite Chad and Rudi were at the bar watching the Texas/OSU game and they asked if TJ would play and Rudi and Chad said yes...

again take it for what its worth and dont shoot the messenger

I have no idea what to do with this information. I want to believe it, but I don't.

What I've been wondering is if its the same foot problem that bothered him through the end of last year?

TJ wanted to come down to the bar, but couldn't walk...

Where are the Cinci homers on this subject? Local radio, local papers...what's the word?

We can only get so much information from internet papers but local radio is usually where the scuttlebutt is.

How about is Bengal fans, what's the local talk?

I am not sure the Bengals have any fans.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm a bit leery of him for some reason. Probably because of his off-the-field issues. You could be right and Henry could be a good play, but I want to see if his head is in the game before I pass official judgement on him.

On tv Clayton said the plan was to have him in the lineup. During warmups Housh was shaking his head and Clayton said he did not look good. Clayton seemed to think Housh would not play as warm ups went poorly.

I hope Chad is holding Rudis hair as Rudi pukes in the toilet.

I have TJ and not putting him.. God help me using Glenn instead.... Still even if he did play he wouldn't be effective.. Plan alternate.

I like Glenn this year and he has looked great in pre-season. What will he do when the focus is on TO???

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

[Big Papi]

jinx, you owe me a coke

 

[njxbean]

where does chris henry rank now?

 

[WarRedbirds]

I wouldn't just plug in Chris Henry at WR3, I'm probably going to play Michael Clayton over him even with Housh out.

I still believe that TO helps him.. HTO will get his catches but in double teams.. Can you imagine Glenn 1 on 1?? I see a lot of big plays out of him this year..

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

Is TJ out.

 

[kaso]

I have the feeling there were a couple guys following this one...

Oh, and to confirm, ESPN just said he will be OUT.

 

[WarRedbirds]

So, is he OUT?

 

[WarRedbirds]

Is TJ out.

jinx!
