The Bengals go to Baltimore every season, but there will be a new site at M&T Bank Stadium, a sight nobody has really ever expected -- Willie Anderson in a different uniform.
"It's definitely going to be weird," said Bengals offensive tackle Levi Jones. "Big Willie in purple and black?"
Said defensive tackle Domata Peko, "He's a huge guy and you can't miss him out there. When you think of the Bengals, you think of Willie and Carson, and for him to be in a different uniform…"
Anderson is scheduled to officially sign with the Ravens today after being cut by the Bengals on Saturday.
"That's the nature of the business," Jones said. "This is a business and this team got reminded of that."
Anderson played in 181 games for the Bengals, the sixth-most in franchise history, and Jones said he expects him to play in many games for the Ravens.
"He doesn't look to be slowing down any, contrary to popular belief, he's still full steam ahead," Jones said.
If Anderson doesn't play in Sunday's season-opener, the Ravens return to Cincinnati on Nov. 30.
"The good thing about it is we practiced against him every day and we were just talking in our defensive line room about it, (assistant offensive line coach) Bob (Surace) knows a lot of his tendencies and stuff he can get beat by, the other part of it is (Anderson) knows a lot of our stuff, too," Peko said. "It's going to be exciting to go against him and a good test for us."
