[edit] Starting Lineup

First, I removed the succesion box, because I think it's based on a misguided notion that there is (was) a singular starting running back. The Bengals of that era used a two back offense, so to say that Woods followed Larry Kinnebrew in the starting lienup and was replaced by Brooks really isn't true. Brooks was the starting halfback before Woods arrived, while Woods was playing, and after he was injured. In fact, here's a list of the backs on the roster and how many games they started in the applicable years:

• 1987 - Kinnebrew (8), Brooks (7), Stanford Jennings (5), Bill Johnson (4) (excluding strike games)
• 1988 - Brooks (15), Woods (10), Stanley Wilson (6), Jennings (1)
• 1989 - Brooks (14), Woods (2), Eric Ball (9), Jennings (6)
• 1990 - Brooks (15), Woods (6), Harold Green (9), Ball (1), Craig Taylor (1)

I changed the text to say the Green had taken his job, because that's more accurate. Anson2995 02:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
