HoosierCat Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I suppose. But they've been doing the drill forever, and I can't recall ever hearing that anyone got hurt. Maybe I'm just not remembering well, but for a drill that everyone is always so worried about causing injuries, it doesn't seem to do so any more often than anything else they do at camp. I mean, AJ got hurt last year trying to make a catch. Larry Black busted a wheel in regular practice. This year Whit hurt his calf in early drills, Kirkpatrick tweaked a hammy in practice, etc. If your goal is to reduce injuries, frankly it seems like it would make more sense to eliminate everything but the Oklahoma drill...

ArmyBengal Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'll give you that Hoosier, but there's simply no point in the drill itself outside of pumping up players for the moment.It's great that they've had no injuries, but how do you think the drill would go over if Burfict blew out a knee while do it ??My guess would be, not very well.

HoosierCat Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Oh, I get it Army. It just strikes me as funny that the one drill they cut out is the one that never seems to cause injuries.On another note I loved what I was seeing in Brennen's vines yesterday of Hill and Gio. It sounds like Hill had some good carries up the gut (there as a nice video of one) and that he held up well in protection duties against Last Name Rey. OTOH Gio apparently annoyed Burfict, who took care to make him his personal rhymes-with-witch in drills yesterday for some reason. Burkhead got some props for blocking and pass protection too.If they can get a real ground game going, this team will go far.And I have no idea how Green-Ellis makes the final roster.

Walrus Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I made it down for a little while with the family yesterday. Really only caught the tail-end of practice and hung around for autographs. Got Hill, Nugent and Peerman, among others. Peerman's uniform was all stained and grassy on his backside. I asked him how practice went and he didn't seem to want to talk about it. Now I see the highlights where Burfict blew him up, I know why! Also funny, my wife, whilst trying to wrangle 4 little kids across the street wasn't paying attention and just about took out Last-Name-Rey. Would've been just like the Bengals for them to cut the OK drill only to see a player taken out by a 120 lb woman crossing the street!

Hill might not have the 4.4 speed, but I LOVE this RB combo and I can't wait to see it come Sunday's !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 OK, someone help me out here. In reports from camp today, players playing the position of "tight end" were running "downfield" and catching "seam passes" for "touchdowns."This is legal???

COB Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 14mBengals activated DT Geno Atkins off PUP.Welcome back Geno Atkins. After he got hurt last year I figured there was no way they'd make the playoffs, yet they went ahead and got in (then Phillip Rivers happened). It is all the more encouraging to see that we had a playoff level team without Geno. Now add him back into the mix, and I'm thrilled for the season to start. Two new coordinators, but neither one blew up the whole scheme and started over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Dalton is wrecked from battling Brad Wesley for control of the Double Deuce, so as soon as my boy AJ McCarron gets over his sore shoulder which he has apparently had for just about his whole life, watch out! And Geno is back@! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Andre Smith is on the concussion list.Sounds like it was the chippest practice of them all so far. Refs were there, and sounds like bengals offense was very sloppy with a lot of flags. To many false starts, holding call ect. Good thing it's still very early.

HoosierCat Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 So the Bengals released their first depth chart today (it's on the site) with no sign of Tyler Eifert.Gresh is first string, Alex a Smith second and some guy I've never heard of third. Other positions list "other" after third string, but not TE.Makes me wonder if he's facing a suspension for weed or PEDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
