Carl Lawson listed as the 3rd string DE on the first depth chart Lol. Didn't wanna hurt Michael Johnsons feelings I guess.

The article mentioned that it's just a formality, and that is depth for the base defense.  In passing situations, Lawson is the edge starter.

I know it is hard for us though, me included, i pray for it everyday...

I didn't see any bad snaps today and people that were there the entire time said that they didn't, either.

The line did look like shit, though.  There were plays (almost every play) where the ball would be snapped and the defensive linemen were in the backfield so quick that I was just thinking "did they even try to block anyone?"

Billy Price sounded confident and stayed after to talk to me and get a selfie.  He seemed interested (or did a good job pretending) when I explained how it was my childhood dream to play for Ohio State before I hit a tree.

I mentioned earlier (somewhere) not to count out Hart at RT.  It means a couple things:  Hart has improved under Pollack, or Hart is the front runner of a position with a weak selection of personnel.

Sirus XM training camp stop
It's Jeff Rickard and Solomon Wilcots

They really like the the young guys on the defensive line. They say it gives the older guys newfound energy.
They expect the offensive line to be better
Solomon really likes Preston Brown.

You did say that we shouldn't count out Hart at RT, I remember reading that.  I've also mentioned a time or two that I don't feel like our starting RT is even on the Bengals roster, yet.

Wait a minute, isn't everyone happy that Ogb and Fisher AREN'T in the starting lineup?

I'm fairly pleased under the assumption that Hopkins and Hart can't be any worse than last year... right?

[J24]

AJ & Andy-seem really confident in the offense.
Want to carry the momentum from the end of last season.
Offense feels fresh and New; Brings a different enery to the team.
Offensive line- Andy says they see a lot of improvement in on offensive line.
Bill Lazor & Pollack will go after you a bit
Solomon & Jeff- Andy Dalton can be the best QB ever for Bengals.

[J24]

Solomon Wilcots- felt the organization looked at how the team played at the end of the season and wanted to keep the team together.

[J24]

Bill lazor- took over a talented offense but an offense without confidence

Tyler Eifert- Back feels good
Already feels like he is mentally back.
Offense is easier to him
Need to get back to peak form on offense
Last two games of last year ahows the pride this team has.

[J24]

Wilcots- Eifert looks really good looks like he is I. Pro bowl shape.
Fast and works well in space is key to Eiferts success.

Marvin Lewis
Pollack- hands on coach
Hubbard- Marvin seams to be in love with this kid. Ohio State kids really mature.
Bill- has a good feel for what he wants to do. Understands the players strengths
Geno- Best shape of his life.
Really likes the skill player on offense.
High on the defensive line
William Jackson- so talented needs to play with in Techninque all the time. Can't get bored
Jessie Bates- he will be on the field early
On new tackle rule- tackle foot to shoulder. Wrap up with arms.
Andy Dalton- use to crictism, makes his teammates better, needs to be vocal
AJ -Leadership is easy for him
Core group( Geno, AJ, Andy , Carlos) cool to see grow

[J24]

Joe mix
Great shape
Lots of talent in the skills
Really like pollack
Sign every autograph he could at the end of practice.

[J24]

Carlos Dunlap
Austin- aggressive coach
Lack of success on players not coaches
Communication key to changes in adapting to new system
New guys will have bigger role on Dline
Making progress on contract; focused on his play not contact.
Fortunate to play and grow up with Geno

[J24]

George Iloka
Still not sure about the rule. Won't lead with head; won't change the way he plays. Really frustrated with rule.
Says Bengals can win the Superbowl.
High on Austin
Marvin wants the team to play hard all the time no matter what.

[J24]

Cordy Glenn
Running game sets up the rest of the game
Likes skyline
Getting traded is like getting drafted
Offense success starts with oline.

[J24]

What I got from the show
Pollack reminds me of Zimmer from 08
Oline will take a while to get
Hubbard and Bates will be key players in rookie year
Defensive Line is deep
Andy Underrated
Explosive weapons on offense
Mixion will have huge year
Not a lot of talk about the linebackers. Although Solomon thinks Brown is real deal.

I’m disappointed Westerman and Redmond haven’t won spots.
