Solly Wilcots visited Bengal's camp today. I just caught the end of it live, but with thier App I can listen to it on Demand and will do so tomorrow at work.

All I caught was Solly closing out with Lap. The subject was Trey Hendrickson and how he "must be signed". Laps said he had a lot of energy at Practice and was constantly in Stewart's ear.

I'l share more tomorrow unless anyone else caught it live and has 411

Tobin asked about Shemar's lack of sacks in college, I dug his reply:

How many of those college sacks does he get to bring with him to the NFL? The same amount as the player that had 18. What he does get to bring with him is his strength, quickness, desire.

Tobin talking about the oline seemed to indicate outside folks are not in the current plans. we're "Jelling what we have".

So we don't care about college production when drafting a player. Perfect.

I don't expect everyone to see the bright side 

Zac:

Purposely not showing their defensive schemes in PS; as no one knows what "we have". Offense can show out because they are no secret.

So far both Zac and Duke talked about how good Fant is.

He is not publically going to say anything different until he has to

Shemar Stewart has better than an outside shot for DROY. He is going to get pass rush opportunities because of the offense and they fact they have no one else outside of Hendrickson. They are showing a willingness to give him opportunities from multiple alignments too. 

Ja'Mar:

I "only" lift about 3-times a week and I keep it light, During the off-season I lift heavier. I do A LOT of track workout

Ja'Mar:
We've got to "want" to start fast, not prepare. I'm not sure he worded that correctly

Yeah. Those other guys brought the same things to the NFL, plus all their sacks. And no plans for outside help on the Oline. 

Tobin is a dumbass.

Danielle Hunter didn't, in fact he had just 4.5 sacks over 3 years at LSU but had insane physical traits that got him drafted. That worked out pretty well.

Side note, I hated the pick but this isn't some rogue way of thinking.

I'm not saying Shemar won't as well. I've come around quite a bit on him but Tobin is a dumbass with some of the shit he says and with the way he thinks he can build a championship team. 

Laps talking to Tee tried to reference the "triplets" Joe/Ja'mar/Tee. Tee wouldn't let him continue without recognizing Yoshi.

He built an AFC Champion and came within a 1/2 a second of a world champion. How many other's have done that in the last 5-10 years? 

Golden just says his defense is a lot to take in early

I do think we will see more vertical Yoshi this year. Seems he has gotten much better in contested situations and by putting Jamar and Mike G/Fant inside we will force more outside one on one match ups for Tee and him.

Yeah, he also talked about how deep with are at DB, and that most teams can't go six deep on the roster with little drop off. And he pretty much said the same thing about the D-line. Wonder what he was drinking? Seriously though, his biggest concerns coming in were the linebackers, and he thinks that is now shored up. So I guess we'll see....

DId you see his interview with Kay Adams. Yoshi looks pretty jacked, and according to Burrow contested catches are no longer a weakness for him but a strength of his game.
