From The Athletic :
Asked about how smoothly things went after practice, Bengals safeties coach Robert Livingston joked, “Day 1. Just Day 1. We’ll see tomorrow. Little hot, little tired. But no, obviously Sean and Zac do a great job and really have the pulse of their teams. So knock on wood we can keep it going.”

Thad Moss who was distraught after his block on KT. “Zac talked to me on the field a few plays after that and said if it makes you feel any better, they ran the same exact play and did the same exact thing to our defensive end,” Moss said. “There was nothing you did that was dirty. Nothing.”

Rams head coach Sean McVay was complimentary of Anarumo and the Bengals defense afterward.

“They’ve got a Rolodex of coverages, they play it all really sound,” McVay said. “There’s not a lot of air in the coverages, and they mix it up really well … In a lot of instances, whether it’s watching these guys or even just spending a little bit of time with Lou Anarumo, I have tremendous respect for him and what his group has done, especially just looking at their trajectory since Zac (Taylor) took over. I’m just such a fan of the game, and I’ve got so much respect for the way that they operate.”

He should have better stats in receiving  ( i will be surprised if he out performs Uzomah in blocking) just on the improved Oline and a more open playbook  comparing to what Uzomah did last year on a terrible line and limited playbook , I would say  his numbers should be around(below) consider him a minimum upgrade from Uzomah in the passing game.

65 receptions
650 yards
 6 Tds.

Well, Cappa did stop Donald long enough for Burrow to get the throw to Chase.  Can't say the same for other linemen.

Two wow, physical catches for a touchdown by Kendric Pryor with the second team. He’s winning his matchups today.

Jake Browning has been the QB on a bunch of those throws.

Pryor may force his way on to the roster.  If the Bengals try to hide him on the practice squad somebody else may grab him.  

I would think there would be several teams interested in a WR with 4.3 speed and an ability to go get the ball.

Just a wash Frank, it is just a wash...

True, Cappa stopped him and Burrow got a completion and someone is complaining big surprise lol

Dude looks really good. I like his way and his build and the way he holds himself on the field.

Kendrick Pryor to me is more formidable than Auden Tate as a WR right now.

We will see but he better make the team along with Jake Browning who is WAY better than Brandon Allen.

Sounds like Hendrickson had a monster day. Two would be sacks on Stafford.

Why does that fill me with hope for something I know is never going to happen?

Allen definitely doesn't inspire confidence, but I imagine the team will always offer him a 1 year deal to return. Zac and Burrow really like Allen.

One report out of those practices was that Cappa did VERY well, even against Donald. Poor Volson's FIRST snap in the practice was against Aaron Donald, and got destroyed. He will continue to develop, and I think it is great that he got this much practice with the other starters. I would imagine he shouldn't play this last preseason game.

The good news for Volson. There isn’t a DT better in this league that he will face than Donald.

Defenses are ALWAYS ahead of offenses this early on. Both the Rams and Bengals Ds were stout. Considering neither team has played its starters in preseason there was rust everywhere to knock off.

but he will have to face Heyward, Simmons, and Chris Jones

Awesome. Was hoping to see Ossai get a sack or two, Hendrickson at times is unblockable.

Maybe the best pass rusher in the NFL.

Great news on Cappa, wake up call for Volson. Gotta happen going against the best.

Might be correct on not playing Volson in the last Preseason just to have him fresh for the opener if he is truly starting.

No doubt. Heyward isn't near Donald in terms of a player that he should be facing in the first game. 

This should really help Volson out going against the best Defensive player in the league.

All true. Kind of what I expected.

Who aren't as good, what's your point?

Understandable considering a spot on the 53 is about a 500k difference than a spot on the Practice Squad for the year

correct, they arent as good as the most dominat DT in the game

WTS, they're all still great. Simmoms sacked Burrow 3 times in the playoff game, dont forget

Oh I won't, Simmons is probably the 2nd best DT in the NFL behind Donald...

Heyward will have to start falling off eventually, he is getting up there in age.

Heyward isn't nearly as quick as Aaron Donald. But he is a strong, grown ass man.

Sounds like it’s all kicking off.

LC just ripped a helmet off a Rams players head and launched it.
