Expect Anderson, Mason to play
If offensive tackle Willie Anderson and receiver Derrick Mason can walk, I expect them to play Sunday against the New York Giants, or at least attempt to play in the first quarter. Both are veterans and want to win badly. And both want to win a Super Bowl title.
I was talking with Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis the other day about Ravens quarterback coach Hue Jackson. I asked him about Anderson, who spent most of his career with the Bengals before coming to Baltimore shortly after the season began.
"He is a quality man, a player of high character," Lewis said of Anderson. "Willie wants to win badly and he just wants to play for a franchise committed to winning. He's a tough guy, a warrior who will play when he is hurt. We've missed him."
The same can be said of Mason. Anderson has an ankle injury while Mason is trying to recover from a dislocated shoulder which he injured last week. Unless they are strapped down to a table, I can't see either of these guys missing Sunday's game

Okay, Mike, the big question of the day is, Are they practicing outside in the rain, or has Harbaugh turned soft like Billick and kept them inside under the bubble?
