CINCINNATI -- All Bengals defensive end Jordan Willis needs is an opportunity.
Coach Marvin Lewis and defensive coordinator Teryl Austin have both said they plan to get the second-year player on the field more this season. Lewis knows that the taciturn Willis wants it badly.
"It's important to him and he works at it, and he studies it," Lewis said. "He's conscientious. "He wants to be out there. He wants to be a starter, and he's going to continue to press to do that. We don't want to keep him from pressing with that. That's a good thing.
