And they have been beating the drum regarding Burrow camp struggles (more bad days then good, and drop off from the start of camp when he was seemingly on fire). The wrist concern has crept into the local media camp reports for the past couple weeks.

Ted Karras: We have the deepest team I've been on since I've been here. This is the hardest camp Zac has put on in my three years here. A lot of guys proved their toughness and earned the trust of their teammates, which is what camp is all about.

Fingers crossed a tougher camp (and full participation from Joe) will result in a faster start.

only be a rookie but his comparison is DJ Reader. BTW DJ is still hurt and we don't even know if he will play this season for the
Lions. I wanted McKinnley Jackson before we drafted him, very stout against the run and has the body type for NT.

Kris Jenkins is a great run stopper, but he is still kind of a hybrid or Freak as Harbaugh called him at Michigan.

Cincy has some slow starts and Zac & the staff discuss with the team leaders and they say we need a tougher preseason. They adjust and players get hurt and next year they dial back. Such a damn if you do or don’t. But… I darn sure think this was needed.

I go back and forth on the season. The defense looks better and the offense more explosive. The areas that has to deliver are the trenches. We need a better DL play and OL play.

I am going to be really interested to see how our run game looks against the Patriots. Because that is really the X-Factor on what could 
put us over the top as you have said a few times. We weren't able to see Zack Moss this Preseason because of him being ill during the 
first game against Tampa where the starters played.


Honestly Kris Jenkins wasn't on my radar till we picked him. I thought we only needed a NT like McKinnley Jackson.

Also liked Estime but Braelon Allen was my favorite back for us to add. I am liking what I am seeing of Erick All though now.

However, from what I've observed of Jenkins so far, he seems to be versatile enough that once he reaches his full NFL playing weight, he just might be able to play down at 1T as needed. At 6'3" with 34" arms, he's got the length and frame to carry another 20# and not worry about losing much athleticism.

Bengals rookie Erick All has looked great tonight. Makes the key block here.

The fourth-round pick out of Iowa likely would have been a top 75 pick if not for injuries. pic.twitter.com/SGYnvyhWPk

We got a twofer this time. Straight up Power Right! 

The F Erick All pulls across and takes out the OLB, the Y Cam Grandy climbs and seals the MIKE, the OL down blocks left to free up the LG as a lead blocker. I miss these 7 man surfaces.
