Artrell Hawkins, who lost his job as a starting cornerback, has found a home in punt coverage. Denver is giving up an average of 17.3 yards a punt return. Bengals should turn Warrick loose on a few more returns. Healthy Glen Steele will start again for slow-healing Tom Barndt. A veteran unit that plays hard for position coach Tim Krumrie.
Right side is explosive.
Line has 17 sacks. Out goes Brian Simmons. Up step rookie Armegis Spearman and veteran Adrian Ross. Steve Foley and Takeo Spikes are having great years on the outside. Middle backer Al Wilson has two interceptions.
