CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals defense is on notice, and they know it.Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said Tuesdays practice was one of the best of the year. While part of that might be attributed to a refreshed team coming off a bye, the larger part is likely due to the changes Guenther has vowed to make after a 3-4-1 start.Players who arent performing, even core veteran players, either figure to lose significant playing time or will ride the bench for a while as the Bengals try to correct whats gone wrong.We just have to get back to doing [things] the way we do it, the way Im used to seeing it all the time. Its not just going to show up on Sundays, he said Tuesday. Weve got to do it throughout the week. Weve got to be in good tackling position, weve got to be staying on top of coverage, being good communicators in the coverage and stopping the run and rushing the passer. Those are the things that if we can do it -- and I think we can do it -- with whatever guys we have out there, for the next eight weeks Im going to give them everything Ive got.Guenther has grown tired of the missed tackles, penalties and general lack of production that was evident when the Bengals gave up 546 yards in a tie with the Redskins before the bye. While replacing some of the underperforming players isnt guaranteed to fix things, he said things cant go on as they have.Frustrated with the performance, Guenther went back and watched every defensive snap of the season and noted issues that needed to be corrected. Then he made notes on each individual player and their issues as well. Players were shown film of those issues during position meetings, with some having to meet with Guenther individually.I watched every individual player and I wrote some notes and I met with those guys about some things they need to clean up and hopefully we can get it done, Guenther said.Message received.Changes are going to come, safety George Iloka said Tuesday. I just see it as were not playing as well as a defense as we need to right now. They always say the definition of a crazy man is someone who does the same thing on and on and expects to get different results. So, of course, they have to switch things up, whether its personnel, play calling, plays, packages, whatever it may be. Theyre going to try to tweak it to get different results as they should because we havent as a collective whole gotten it done.One of those changes is re-signing defensive end Wallace Gilberry, whom the Bengals parted ways with in the offseason. Gilberry, who was briefly with the Lions this season, will play against the Giants on Monday night in certain packages.The other changes, which havent been announced yet, are swapping personnel, which could mean more snaps for younger defenders like cornerbacks Josh Shaw and Darqueze Dennard, defensive end Will Clarke and rookie linebacker Nick Vigil.We have a lot of guys that have been here a long time, that have been fixtures in our system for a long time, Guenther said during the bye. But, like I told them, its a production business, so even though youve been kind of a guy thats been here and I think theres going to be a younger player that I think can do it better at this point, whether it be for 15 more snaps, Ive got to look at that because some of the guys that have been here, that have been fixtures here, for some reason or another, whether its age or whatever it is, they are not playing at a high level and Ive got to figure out where I can inject some other guys that can do it better, or at least try to.Yeezy From China .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers.

Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me.Alastair Cook has dismissed allegations of ball tampering against his England side as a load of rubbish.Englands seamers used reverse swing to cut through the Pakistan batting on the final day of the Edgbaston Test, claiming, at one stage, four wickets for one run. It left England leading the four-match series 2-1 with only the Oval Test left to play.Some news organisations in Pakistan have subsequently broadcast footage of England in the field at Edgbaston and suggested that they tampered with the ball in order to gain reverse swing.Although that footage, particularly footage showing Joe Root vigorously shining the ball, looked innocuous and the Pakistan camp have dismissed the allegations, the story has rumbled on for a couple of days.Its a load of rubbish, Cook replied when asked about the allegations. Someone showed me the clip on Twitter of Rooty shining the ball. Its just shining the ball, isnt it?Lets be honest. Its shining the shiny side of the ball on his trousers. Its an absolute load of rubbish as far as Im concerned. Its so far-fetched that its just nonsense. I dont think it will affect anyone, it certainly hasnt affected our changing room.Cook also expressed disappointment that the story might overshadow what has been, until now, a good quality series played in fine spirit between two well-matched sides. While previous encounters between the sides have been tainted by various controversies - not least when some in the British media made similar allegations against Pakistan players - this one has been notably free of such issues.Weve been talking about cricket for three Test matches - for the first time in a series Ive played against Pakistan, Cook said. And hopefully well be talking about the cricket - good or bad - at the end of this next game.Its a little sideshow and hopefully it stays there. Both sides should be commended for the way theyve played so far.Mickey Arthur, the Pakistan coach, confirmed that there had been no complaints from his team to the match officials at the time or subsequently and Misbah-ul-Haq also played down the allegations. Indeed, the Pakistan captain suggested his bowlers could learn from the way in which England cared for the ball.We dont just want to get into those things, he said.dddddddddddd The game is over and credit should be given to the England team for the way they bowled and got us out. That was a super spell by all their bowlers, especially after lunch. That happened, its gone and we have to focus on the coming game. We should have played better.Reverse happens and sometimes on the last day it happens because the pitch is so dry. There are right ways to roughen the ball. You bowl cross seam, throw the ball from the boundary on the ground, you shine it from one end and these are legal ways to roughen the ball. You care for the ball and the team which does better it achieves reverse swing. This is an art, a science and whole time you have to care for the ball.We have to carefully look at it so that our bowlers can also achieve that. We have to take care of the ball and these days one or two bowlers bowl cross seam so that you hit one side of the ball on the pitch, we have to do that.England bowlers are experienced like Anderson and Broad and know how to utilize that, they know the conditions. Our seam bowlers have played less cricket so they have to learn that and care for the ball. We have to gain that experience and concentrate on that.We were a little bit concerned, the way it just happened just after the lunch, because it was not doing anything until the fourth day and suddenly it started. But obviously the fifth day is different and it could happen. The umpires are there, the match referees are there and I am not there to check those things.I think they are very good bowlers and a very good side. Especially Anderson and Broad. These bowlers know what to do especially how to take care of the ball day, how to reverse it specially. There was concern the way it just swung in that hour, but we are not taking anything ahead of that.The on-field umpires check the condition of the ball at the end of each over and when a wicket falls. The TV umpire can also advice on the basis of what they see on their screens. The ICC have confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that no complaints were made by the umpires and that there is no on-going investigation. ' ' '
