Random thoughts for a Wednesday

The Bengals say they need to change their attitude this week. Huh? You've got seven months to prepare for an NFL opener and you're already talking about 'changing your attitude'? Really?

But Cedric Benson will have to rush for more than just 2.9 yards per carry for this team to have any chance of having a good season.
