CINCINNATI (AP) - Andre Caldwell was delighted when he checked into the Cincinnati Bengals training camp in July and discovered he'd been assigned Chad Ochocinco's old room: No. 113.
The receiver took it as a sign that he was finally going to get a chance to start.
``I feel like this is the start of the Caldwell Era for me,'' he said, that sunny July day in Georgetown, Ky.
It's taken three games and one injury for that era to arrive.
The fourth-year receiver will get a lot more time now that Jordan Shipley is out for the season with a knee injury. Shipley had been the primary slot receiver, splitting time with Caldwell.
``I've been looking for a chance,'' Caldwell said Wednesday. ``I've got my shot right now. I can't let it get away from me.
``People always put me on the backburner, but I always keep fighting, keep going. I've got my chance, and now have to make the most of it.''
Caldwell was a third-round pick out of Florida in 2008, expected to contribute quickly with his ability to turn short catches into long gains. He was a backup his first two seasons.
When Antonio Bryant couldn't play in training camp last year because of a bad knee, Caldwell thought he'd finally get his chance to line up across from Ochocinco. Instead, the Bengals signed Terrell Owens, the TOcho Show was formed, and Caldwell became a backup again.
It was tough to handle.
``I get a little discouraged, but don't let it show,'' Caldwell said. ``I let my game talk for me, and that's what I'm going to do the next couple Sundays.''
Shipley tore his left anterior cruciate ligament during a 24-22 loss in Denver on Sunday. Caldwell took over in the slot and caught three passes for 27 yards, including a touchdown that gave the Bengals a chance in the fourth quarter.
``You saw that once Jordan was out of the game, he stepped in and caught a couple of passes, caught a touchdown,'' quarterback Andy Dalton said. ``So the play didn't really drop off. He came in and played well.
``They do a lot of the same things. There's not a whole lot of difference in there. They're both reliable guys, always going to do the right thing, be in the right spot.''
Caldwell is the most experienced receiver in the young group, and it shows.
``In my experience, I don't think he's real vocal,'' coach Marvin Lewis said. ``I think that everybody knows how Andre leads by the example that he sets and his preparation that way, to be able to go in and play all four receiver spots for us.''
The Bengals switched offensive schemes this season, moving to a West Coast offense under coordinator Jay Gruden that emphasizes quick passes. Caldwell thinks the new approach suits him better, providing more of a chance to break a big play.
``I think it gets the ball in the playmaker's hands, lets him make plays,'' Caldwell said. ``I'm good at running after the catch and can stretch the field. They're going to send me down the field a lot, so I think it's a good fit.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
