Five observations from today’s voluntary #Bengals workout: 1. Joe Burrow took part in every drill and looked great. To my eye, there’s no discernible difference in his throws following wrist surgery pic.twitter.com/eOkluAP7O9
3. Got our first look at college free agent Austin McNamara, who averaged 45.9 yards per punt in five seasons at Texas Tech and ranked 4th in the country in hang time last year according to @PFF_College. Will battle Brad Robbins at training camp to be the starting punter. pic.twitter.com/i477hWeHJB
5. Defensive end Myles Murphy appears ready for a big jump in year two. “There’s a difference between combine condition and football condition,” he said. “I was in great combine condition last year, but not in good football condition. Now I’m in really good football condition.” pic.twitter.com/oqk3tguvD3
Would be interesting to find out who else is on the rehab field with Anderson, or not actively participating in drills.
Am assuming Ivey & All cannot do much. Kirkland, Cochran, and Maxwell were all PS guys who went on IR last year. And I thought I heard something about McLachlan being dinged up.

Joe Bachie also had off season surgery but I don't know where he is in his rehab

LOVE that because it shows we gave leaders on the team and guys that will continue to try to make each other better, even if it costs them playing time.
This is where the whole drafting team captians comes into play. Remaking their bodies and the technique work in the off-season takes dedication.
As much as we give coaches hell over technical errors from the players technique and body composition is off-season trainer stuff in the pros unlike college. NFL Coaches have barely enough time to finish the installs.

That's a great point, as over the years we've seen plenty of players drafted that flashed the talent that got them to the NFL only to see them floundering at the bottom of the depth charts for the remainder of their Rookie contracts.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

A vet such as Randall Cobb
Cobb, Renfrow, Michael Thomas. I assume Thomas would still think he is a WR1 or 2, but one of the other two would be a good offseason/locker room addition.
I'm pretty jacked about Murphy, Hubbard, Jenkins, T. Brown, Burton, Gesicki, All and Moss
I think we made significant improvement on both sides of the ball - with the loss of Reader as the only significant fly in the ointment (I'm still angry about that)
This team is looking really good, expecting great things this year if we can stay somewhat healthy. The best OL in front of Burrow he
has had, adding Zack Moss, Gesicki, Jermaine Burton as weapons should make us much more explosive especially with Chase Brown
getting more snaps this season who is electric at RB.
