Lewis expects Jeanty, Jackson back for Bucs

Coach Marvin Lewis held his regular Monday news conference this afternoon and said that injured linebacker Rashad Jeanty (foot) and safety Dexter Jackson (ankle) could be back for the Tampa Bay game Oct. 15.

Coming out of the blowout Sunday against New England, Lewis said that defensive end Robert Geathers and cornerback Greg Brooks each sprained a knee Sunday but are expected to be available for the Buccaneers.

Lewis, initially reluctact to discuss the hit by safety Kevin Kaesviharn that drew a penalty, said his safety "turned his shoulder" before the hit against Reche Caldwell and that it looked to be "shoulder to shoulder" to him.

Lewis also went into detail when asked about deactivating wide receiver Chris Henry, saying he didn't have to worry about taunting and other improper on-field behavior.

I'm a New England fan, and I was curious to get your opinion on some of the comments of Bengals players after the game. Reading an AP story, there were comments from a couple of Bengals to the effect "that's a team we should have beat" and "they don't have anyone that can cover us (receivers)".

Out of context, these seem a little out of touch for a team that was just routed. If, according to CP, the team was overconfident, as a Bengal fan I'd be scared that this team is still out of touch with reality after a such a loss. It reminds me of Kordell Where-Is-He-Now? Stewart after losing to the Pats by a decent margin in the playoffs. KS stated "The best team did not win today." It sounds strange. Your opinion? From Len Cercone, Natick Mass.

Houshmandzadeh was the only player that I heard say anything along those lines. Everybody else was pretty much saying that they got their tails kicked.
