Chase has a new best friend at practice today. WR coach Troy Walters is shadowing him with the comment "I’m gonna be on you all day today."

and with that we have this auspicious start to practice

Ja’Marr Chase just dropped another pass to start the team period. Ball was thrown by Joe Burrow #Bengals

It’s definitely in his head at this point (not good), but he just needs to work through it.

A couple of drops for Ja’Marr then he makes this end zone catch from Burrow. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/G5CT5wVxov

Agreed. He has spooked himself now. He needs all the reps he can get.

Oh man, drops unless he's in the endzone is right outta the John Ross playbook.

I hate this comparison so much. Ross had serious effort issues and barely ran the right routes half the time. Chase is a crazy hard worker and will put in the time to get this fixed.

Hopefully they do what they should have done this week and against Miami leave him in as long as its takes until he is consistently making the catch.

Good. 

Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase just connected on the first offensive play to start a new period of practice. #Bengals

Replies to post as expected :)

Whole thing is overblown imo. If Chase got a case of the dropsies just throw it to Tigger and TB… Chase will learn to catch them quick when he’s no longer the favorite target.

Good to see. I still think he needs to stay in for a while against Miami andfcbe targeted a lot. He needs to settle down and that takes reps. 

Long, lonely walk for Chase after 7s. Goes all the way to other end to get a towel. No one near him. Uzomah finally approaches and gives a quick shoulder massage, a few words and a slap on the shoulder pads.

That's right, let's take this thing completely elementary..

I know you are, but what am I?

I am rubber, you are glue.  Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you..  

Did Chase catch some a heat from a ex girlfriend
A few months ago saying she was pregnant and he
Was the father.
Then Chase blocked her from instagram.
I.Would if that whole situation is affecting
His concentration?

I bet he dropped the condom. 

#Bengals wide receivers coach Troy Walters is now making even the warm-up catches contested catches for Ja'Marr Chase at training camp.

Except when he sat out last year...

No need to question Ross' effort to pump up Chase. If I was to critique Chase's 3 drops last preseason game; I'd say: It didn't look like catching the ball was his #1 priority. 



**Disclaimer: Not saying Ja'Marr will be a bust, not hoping he does poorly. not hating...I just see better than I hear.

Ross had issues with two different coaching staffs. It was far more than just dropping some balls or giving up on routes with him.

And suggesting Chase wasn’t working hard just because he wasn’t playing is ridiculous. Kid didn’t blow away the combine by sitting on his ass for a year.

Rumor is they're bringing someone else in to shadow him...
