Drummond might add punch on returns
This item on the wires this morning could pertain to the Bengals. The Bengals have struggled in punt and kickoff returns, and former Lions Pro Bowl return specialist Eddie Drummond is available.
From the Associated Press:
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- The Detroit Lions released former Pro Bowl return specialist Eddie Drummond on Thursday.
Drummond was named to the Pro Bowl after the 2004 season when he became the second player in NFL history to return two kickoffs and two punts for touchdowns in the same season.
He made the trip to Hawaii, despite missing the last five games with a broken shoulder blade.
The move was announced hours after the team ended its practice session. No one from the team was available for comment.
Drummond ranked seventh in the league with a career-best 1,349 kickoff return yards, but was not used in offensive coordinator Mike Martz's scheme.

I would like to see what he can do with the job. If we're going to pick up anyone, it should be a *durable* RB to fill Iron's spot.
Look who woke up and brought his "A" game! Atta boy, Nooty. You'll get the hang of this yet! Keep it coming. NFL=365 days of interest/stories. Leave the crappy local sports hero books to Doc.
yes! Eddie Drummond would add alot to our kickoff/punt returns, as long as he doesn't get hit to hard. One hit and "ouchie, my shoulder hurts"
The honeymoon is over.Marvin Lewis is not a good coach. How do you waive Earl Everett when your short on linebackers? You don't spend a 1st rd pick on a backup(perry) and a second rd pick on a backup(irons,whiteworth). Lewis has had his chance to make this team his own and one winning record for 4 years doesn't cut it. This year should be playoffs or fire him.
