Left tackle Andrew Whitworth is one of the four Bengals left from wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh’s run in Cincinnati and he’s happy to see him coaching here for the next two weeks for a variety of reasons.
One, he thought he might be able to get some money back. When Whitworth got ejected in Houshmandzadeh’s last year here in a 2008 fight with Jacksonville defensive tackle John Henderson, Whitworth thought he may have had hand in it. It will be recalled that when Henderson tried to gouge out Whitworth’s eyes, Whitworth threw him around like a tackling dummy, got ejected, and saluted a standing ovation from the Paul Brown Stadium crowed in what some has said was one of the embryonic moments setting up the 2009 AFC North sweep.
