Rookie Camp

[sandwedge]

Don 't we usually have a rookie camp a week or so after the Draft? I have looked on the team website and see nothing about this.

Zac mentioned in an interview that he has arranged it for 2 weeks after the draft, If he had it 1 week after we would need to then send the players home for a week then get them back.
This way when they come in there won't be any breaks and he thinks it will help the players

Yeah me to, The Rookie camp starts May 10/11 and they then join in with the OTA's straight after, instead of having there camp and then being sent home.

Players are allowed to use the weight room and field but not hear anything from the coaches. That's why it's important to have real leaders and teachers as players and something Cincy doesnt have...AJ Green is kinda of a quiet Diva Geno is also quiet the three biggest leaders on the roster are Andy Gio and Mixon.

Probably just all lining up to go watch Joey Votto strike out again to boost their confidence that they can't possibly be as inept..

In 2017, we lost Whitworth and Peko to free agencies and Cedric Peerman to injury.  The impact the simultaneous loss of these 3 undisputed lockerroom leaders on offense, defense, and special teams has been tremendous and frankly has yet to be replaced.

Lazor actually said in an interview with Schefter last year that Andy was instrumental in organizing the offensive players and getting them on board with the  new offense during the off-season.

Since we last made the playoffs, we've lost all of these players. Aside from leadership, most of these guys were quality players that have yet to be replaced by equal players.

-Zeitler, Andre Smith, and Whitworth on the offensive line. They were arguably the best 2 players. Smith has really declined over the past couple years so losing him may have been ok.
-Sanu and Jones at WR. It took until this past season to replace Marvin Jones production with Boyd. We are still searching for that #3 guy like Sanu.
-Peko on the DLine.
-Reggie Nelson at Safety. We also lost Iloka who we waived. I'd say that Bates finally has replaced what we lost in Nelson, but it took a couple years for the team to find Bates and Nelson's loss hurt.
-McCarron at backup QB. We've yet to replace that quality.
-Leon Hall at CB.

-Minter, Hawk, Maualuga, and Lamur at LB. I don't feel like sorting through that mess.
