Don't know much about Anderson personally, but the Bengals always seemed to have a decent line overall. Is he a right or left tackle? Can he play either?
I'd feel a lot better about Brady's health if we had a bit more depth in front of him, so I agree with you all. OL before Law if there's a choice.
"This wasn't a decision based on my play, I want to make that clear," Anderson said. "They weren't comfortable with two guys making big salaries at the same position. I'm not mad or bitter about this, but I am disappointed in the timing."
Lewis said the decision to release Anderson was "very tough."
"He has been significant to me," Lewis said. "He has been significant to this organization, beyond me. We'll see what happens. It may not be over.
He started at RT for the Bengals in almost every single game from 1996 through 2007, making Pro Bowls in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.
He got hit with some injuries in 2007, and lost his starting job to Stacey Andrews, who held it throughout this year's training camp. He asked for a pay cut a few days ago and was cut yesterday.

Thanks for the info. That sounds good enough for me. Sign him up!
Could Kazcur play RG? I would guess so, at least as a fill in until Neal comes back in six weeks. Then we've got him to back up both right positions on the line.
do you guys know if anderson is a good run blocking tackle?
He was a road grader when I watched him in Cincinnati. He would definitely upgrade the run blocking on the right side, especially when paired with a healthy Neal. I'd love to see the Pats bring him in.
cool. i'm just trying to keep the thread alive so BB will be reminded of Willie Andrews. I know he knows andrews is available but I started a thread on John Lynch prior to when the pats signed him and it worked, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that lightning will strike twice.
Looks like the Raiders are going to have first dibs on Willie's services....

if Willie Anderson reminds him of Willie Andrews, that could be the problem right there...
