Sounds like the D is ahead of the O at this point.

Whoa, this gets me excited!

I want our D to be a force again.

Logan Wilson could be our Rock in the middle to help make it happen. Dude is smart with great instincts.

Love the Ricardo Allen pickup and sounds like Awuzie was a great one as well.

Hopefully our DL gets playing great and it will help out the backend of the D.

Agreed Nate!

I think the secondary is noticeably better. I’m still concerned about the front 7 though. Haven’t heard much about Hendrickson yet at camp, excited to see if that changes when the pads come on. Also nervous that one injury to him or Hubbard could be very bad.

So the secondary has a pot with the guy with most interceptions and most good plays wins. They take turns grading the day, and points are deducted for loafing on a play. I love this.

Rock on GCB.

I think we could have a top Secondary if the front 7 plays decent. This is still my concern as well on the DL but if our starters
can stay reasonably healthy I think we can be more then decent. This time of year you don't hear about the DL as much and 
even when you do it doesn't really matter until the games really start. We were hearing about Geno playing good last offseason,
same with Dunlap and we saw how that worked out. Hendrickson, Ogunjobi, Reader, Hubbard, Ossai, Cam Sample, Kareem etc.

Much better than last year with 4th stringers playing DT.

The addition of Ossai and the growth of Logan Wilson, ADG and Bailey are key. Ossai is still my guy I expect to make an impact
even as a rookie, loved this pick.

Awesome. Think Bates wins a lot of pots. Pay the man.

Great to see. I think Joey B has really revitalized the interest in this team for many people. Probably more than anyone since Chad.

Finally getting a closer look at Riley Reiff full speed out in front of Joe Mixon on a run play.

Man. He looks different. Beast. #Bengals @FOX19

Offense seems to be rebounding with big catches from Chase, Taylor and Tate;

Our fans who never watched him at LSU are going to love this kid’s physicality. He’s way more than a “shiny toy.”

Taylor has had a nice couple of days. He really wants that 6rh WR spot

The two plucky WRs on the Bengals' roster, Trent Taylor and Trenton Irwin, with some nice catches today. Taylor did a great job waiting on a corner route from Burrow, who dropped it in well.

good thread of updates.

Joe Burrow just threw a perfect ball to the back corner of the end zone in red zone drills.

Tee Higgins made an incredible catch to go get it.

First real “wow” play I’ve seen from Burrow this camp. #Bengals @FOX19
