AMPHAR Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 So has La'el Collins practiced at all? That reporter might not have been completely off base. I really don't like the sound of all this. Reading some Cowboy boards it was this kind of stuff AFTER all the other stuff that kinda wore Cowboy management out. Mysterious back injury, cleared to practice, not dressed for practice only to find only AFTER practice it was planned day off. Then a personal day. I'd feel a lot better about the RT spot if he would actually start practicing consecutive days. I hope we are not seeing why a supposed All-Pro at $10m cap room was on the trade block and no one bit, twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted August 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Here's a taste. Chills... Quote Joe Burrow calls his shots. Take a Week 17 game against the Kansas City Chiefs when, at the start of the third quarter, he looked at Ja’Marr Chase on the sideline and said, “You’re about to score a touchdown,” Chase remembers. These moments are not predicated on a feeling or some whimsical desire for badassery. This is not Babe Ruth pointing toward center field at Wrigley Field. Burrow just knew the following: That in the first half, the Cincinnati Bengals had run “pressure routes” against the Chiefs, 10- to 12-yard speed-outs with Tyler Boyd. And that Daniel Sorensen, one of the Chiefs’ two deep safeties, wasn’t in position to get to the sideline. There was space on the left side—where Chase was running as a glorified decoy. “He’s not getting enough width,” Burrow told the offense of Sorensen. There is a saying among those in the Bengals quarterback room that Burrow has taken to heart—something Peyton Manning used to say and Brian Callahan, who coached Manning in Denver and is now the Bengals offensive coordinator, brought with him to Cincinnati: “They can’t play like that. We can’t let them play defense like that. If they’re gonna play like that, we’re going to teach them a lesson.” “There are not,” Callahan said, “a lot of people who can put that into action.” But Burrow is one of them. He doesn’t talk on the sideline often, Callahan said, but when he does, he’s adamant. This was one of those times. Burrow asked to run the play again and for Chase to do the same thing—what coach Zac Taylor calls a “run for the love of the game” route. Burrow approached Chase, the receiver remembers, and in a strangely calm manner, explained he would throw it toward him, and that it would be a sure score. Chase believed him. He was, of course, right. Sorensen couldn’t make it to the sideline, and Chase tore down the left side for a 69-yard touchdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Quote It should not surprise anyone that Burrow led the NFL in deep touchdown passes last year. He does not have the league’s strongest arm, but he has perfected the art of getting the ball where it needs to be, enough to helm a prolific offense that brought the Bengals to the Super Bowl. His three top receivers are some of the very best in football, and their relationship and chemistry are huge parts of the story of Burrow’s deep passes. I went to Cincinnati this month to find out how this all happened for a team that entered last season with the third-worst Super Bowl odds and came back with stories that would sound like tall tales if there weren’t video evidence readily available. The receivers and I ran through every deep touchdown they scored last year, as well as some other big plays, and what they described was a quarterback unafraid to do anything on a football field. Burrow is part football genius, part point guard, part chaos agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Just looking through what I could find, it looks like Collins practiced on August 10th and August 14th, that’s it. I believe he’s practiced two days so far. If he’s injured or sick, the Bengals would have to reveal that. He did this at the cowboys, from what I’ve read. Missed team activities, vague explanations, etc. Adeniji is going with the first team, I think. So those full pad practices against the Rams, when probably all our starters will play in a sort of real football but super fast whistle limited hitting environment, those practices will tell the story. If Adeniji is starting in those and Collins is absent. Straight up panic. If Collins shows up and plays, he’s just in a self imposed self preservation regimen which seems to be his way. Or he’s got a sick family member or a bad marriage or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted August 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 SPeaking for me, I'm not gonna panic at any point unless he misses game 1. He can roll out of bed having not practiced at all and step in at RT against the steelers and we would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can roll out of bed having not practiced at all and step in at RT against the steelers and we would be fine. That might be the case because I read a comment there is no timetable for his return. Is that correct? Anybody else reporting this? Quote Collins, who was signed to a three-year, $21 million contract with $5 million guaranteed after playing seven seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, began training camp on the non-football injury list due to a back issue and was only cleared to practice on Aug. 10. He participated in practice that day and on Aug. 14, but was limited to position drills and offensive install against no defenders. He was on hand for practice on Monday, but wasn't dressed to participate and wasn't around on Wednesday. Taylor said he isn't sure when Collins is expected back. Not good.
