Interesting comments from Carson Palmer,
Q: How tough is it to practice in the rain for a game that is to be played in a dome?
CP: It's tough. We don't have the ability to prepare for a dome game, so it makes it tough. It's a definite disadvantage practicing all week in the rain, especially if you're not going to be playing in the rain. We've been through this before. We've been out there in 15-degree weather, snow and rain and then played when it's 65 degrees or 70 degrees. So we've adjusted to that, we've been doing it for a long time. So it's definitely a disadvantage, but we're used to making that adjustment and moving on.
Q: Have you been in the Superdome?
CP: Not the Superdome.
Q: With the fans being recharged by the Saints after the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, are you prepared to handle that?
CP: I think so. Like you said, we've played in a lot of loud games, a lot of distracting stadiums that have distracting fans. Personally, I haven't played there. There are a number of guys on the team who haven't played there. So we're going to prepare, just like you said, like we're going into Baltimore, Pittsburgh, or Cleveland.
Hmm, They are practicing in the rain this week and many of Bengals haven't played in the Superdome.
