Willie: Might not play in Pro Bowl

Just heard from Bengals right tackle Willie Anderson.

He said his injured foot is feeling better and he might or might not need surgery. He had a bone injury.

I congratulated Willie on making another All Pro team. He is deserving. He got my vote.

Anderson said he would go to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl but might not play.

From his home in Atlanta, Anderson also said Falcons fans are excited about new coach Bobby Petrino and offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who was Bengals wide receivers coach the past three years.

The Falcons agreed to terms with Jackson and former Dallas defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer as defensive coordinator Tuesday. A formal announcement is expected today.

The Bengals are exceptionally tight-lipped about coaching searches, so new word internally is available on whom the Bengals are considering for Jackson's replacement. Coach Marvin Lewis and offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski were prepared for the possibility of Jackson's departure and had discussed possible replacements after the season ended Dec. 31.

One candidate is believed to be former Browns wide receivers coach Terry Robiskie.
