I do know that Dax was frustrated last season because he didn't really have a focused position when it came to practice. One week he was put at FS, then the next week they had him work at boundary CB, then he's playing in the box safety, then he's at nickle.
Beat writers noticed he just seemed flustered. Quite the difference from training camp where they put him at FS and he was looking great.

Im so excited for Charlie Jones he just seems like the type of player that Burrow will find over and over especially considering hes gonna be the 4th or 5th receiving threat on the field. Plus he ran a 4.43 so expect plenty of "sneaky fast" comments from announcers as he streaks down the seam for 60 yard TDs.

Hopefully, understanding more than one position helps him this season.

For some reason I think he gets the "Corey Dillon" treatment. He won't see the field until they can trust him.
Shouldn't trust Mixon in pass pro from what we saw last year either. I think this is the difference for Chase Brown, we will see.
If Mixon really works on pass protection and at the very least becomes okay at it what you say could be true and Brown doesn't
get much of a chance as a rookie. I did see Trayveon be a willing blocker last year, so he could also keep Brown from many snaps.

We made it through the yearly lull period!
And thank you Reds for keeping us entertained in June and July!
Hopefully we get to cheer on the Reds into the postseason and double-dip this Fall with both Reds and Bengals.
Yes, nice seeing the Reds finally playing decent for once as well. We got through the lull and now the entertainment begins!

with a RB that is good in pass protection and has good vision.
Dammit Nate...that is genius level thinking there!

I think we're gonna have to go to replay. I only see one hand.

Hand holding his left shoulder jersey, othe hand touching his right bicep. 1 hand + 1 hand = 2 hand touch

Do we know if we have anyone not reporting?
I could see a case for Tee, Logan, or Reader.

The first 2 maybe but DJ not reporting would be absurd we made him the highest paid NT in the league when we signed him.

Yeah, but he's on the last year and the market has exploded. Chris Jones is in the exact situation (contract/Age) as DJ and is sitting out. Only difference is, Chris is scheduled to earn about twice as much as DJ this year.

I do think we will see immediate impact on sub packages from the following guys (in order of their draft):
Murphy - he should be an immediate situational rusher. Hopefully adding some speed to the outside
Turner - should show up big on dime packages
And the guy that I think makes the most impact - Charlie Jones. Immediate first down maker on 4 WR passing sets. The guy just gets the game.
I'm not putting as much weight on Murphy being an outstanding pass rusher immediately. His pass rush win rate last year was not good, although he was better the previous season. I think we should expect a more athletic Hubbard at this point with a high ceiling.
I will say that if he wants to have 3 sacks on opening day and make me look stupid, I'm all for it.
