Locker room look

Hey again --

There were some good conversations in the locker room today, and a lot of it came from (not surprisingly) Josh Miller. Miller expressed sadness at the Terrell Owens situation, saying that he doesn't hold his feelings in because his support system -- namely, his wife and three kids -- is so strong.

Miller also reassured us, just as he has Stephen Gostkowski, that the kicker will be fine -- Gostkowski hasn't missed a kick yet, it's on the players in front of him. But Gostkowski, who fiddled in his locker while he talked, said he takes 100 percent of the blame for the miss in the Denver game.

A bit surprising that Gostkowski spoke, given that rookies are supposed to be seen and not heard from in the locker room. Maybe he'll have to pay the price with his teammates later.

Rodney Harrison heard question after question about Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and receivers Chad Johnson, TJ Houshmandzadeh and Chris Henry, and finally wondered, "Why aren't you asking about Rudi Johnson, the most underrated running back in the NFL?"

So of course a question about Rudi followed. Basically, Harrison sounded a lot like Bill Belichick and said everyone on Cincinnati's offense is good and dangerous. Even their ball boys are quick, he joked.

We're out to practice now.
