We'll see who ends up taking the majority of the snaps with the 1st team offense in Week 3 of Preseason. That person will likely be the starter come Week 1 of the regular season.

Hopkins got some reps there as well..


Is something similar happening at RG? or is it miller with the 1s

Who says improvement was the goal?

Yea forgot Hopkins, thanks for the mention.
I haven't heard anything about competition at RG. Heard all Miller so far.

I like the athleticism Jordan showed and it led to a nice little gain for Traveon.

1) He was apparently a really good guard at OSU before having to switch to center.
2) It's not like we have anyone proven at the position.
3) He's played next to Price before so I'd hope there is some chemistry there.

All great points, just want the best players to start, chemistry is huge.

probly for the best that Hart and Miller get as many reps as possible

Defense is not allowed to hit the QB or hit anyone low in practice.

Since the offense is given a big advantage in practice ai could see how the defense might get upset if the offense started talking smack or trying to show up the defense.  

It would be like a great tennis player agreeing to play left handed against you and then you talking smack if you won.

I would like to see the Bengals sign OT Ryan Schraeder.

Stunning.

Hopefully he puts his Munoz-esque past behind him, if you get my drift

Wow.  When they drafted him, wasn't there talk of him not playing at all this year?

Yes there was and that makes the RB position kinda interesting now. Be a pretty intense camp battle I would think.

T Williams is healthy too right?

Release Gio!

Bring in an OT!

Be smart.

Geez, have we outright accused Marvin of betting on the other team and/or poisoning his own players yet?

Do the Bengals keep all 4 RB on 53 man roster and use Uzi as H-Back?

I think I would sacrifice a 3rd QB in order to take a 4th RB. Not sure they'd want to enter the season without Driskel or risk having Ryan Finley grabbed off the practice squad, but if Andy goes down they're done regardless so I'd roll the dice.
