During free agency ’08, the Bengals lost three players — Landon Johnson, Madieu Williams and Justin Smith — and in their final cuts released fan favorites Rudi Johnson and Willie Anderson, as well as Deltha O’Neal and Ahmad Brooks. So, how did this years’ crop of ex-Bengals fare in week 12?
- Madieu had four tackles, a pass defensed and an interception in Minnesota’s victory over the fast-fading Jaguars. For the season, he now has 19 tackles, 2 picks and 2 passes defensed.
- Willie Anderson, who missed last week’s game with a gimpy ankle, returned to start in Baltimore’s McNabb-killing win over the Eagles. He has appeared in 9 Ravens games (with 6 starts) this season.
- Rudi Johnson had 4 carries for 16 yards as Detroit lost yet again. On the year, that gives him 73/233/1 on the ground and 11/89/1 through the air, with 1 fumble.
- Deltha O’Neal had 2 tackles and a pass defensed as New England pounded the Dolphins. On the year, he has 25 tackles, 5 passes defensed and 3 picks.
- Landon had no stats against the Falcons. He has 11 tackles for the year.
- Justin Smith had 4 tackles as the 49ers lost to the Cowboys. Justin has 50 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 passes defensed, a FF and an INT for the year. Ahamd has been inactive all season.
