Notes From Training Camp 2025

With the pass heavy offense that the Bengals run, I just don't see Zac and company sacrificing the percentage of practice and game reps to allow that run blocking to fully develop. I mean, yes it would definitely make the team more effective overall, but when they have over half a billion invested in the QB and top two WRs it just isn't likely to happen.

That's why I mentioned I would have liked to have seen them practice this week against the Eagles before their pre-season game. The rest of the AFC North are heavy formation heavy run teams. 

Pittsburgh has Pat Feiermuth, Jonnu Smith, and Darnell Washington.
Baltimore has Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, and Charlie Kolar.
Cleveland has David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr.

These are teams that are going to be mostly 12 personnel with some 13 personnel.
