"Pratt has become the talk of Bengals training camp"

Good to hear to say the least. We've been so badly chopped, sliced, and diced over the middle the past couple seasons and gave up so many 3rd and longs. Often 3rd and forevers !

Here's to hoping he's a goodun

This is good news. He was one of my favorite LB prospects coming out of the draft. Here's hoping he can provide the desperately needed coverage help.

PJ Dawson was going to be the next Urlacher after a few weeks of camp when he was drafted

Probably won't hear much either. He's going to have a mission in our scheme which is high expectations with low notoriety.

All part of the mad genius ZT's master plan   under the radar.

Seriously as the season wears on I do believe Sample will play a bigger and bigger role.

If he's a replacement level player, that'll be great.

If he's better? That's just gravy.

I'm hoping for better, a lot better 

This team has been snake bit since the playoff meltdown vs. Steelers, well you could say more than that.....but.

Don't the stars have to line up for us at some point ?

The guy's got a point... Both Dawson and Urlacher are outta the league.

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Lot of good stuff in that article and on the video. I feel this season's success really hinges on how good our coaches are. We'll soon see.

Good, have him start over vigil. have vigil play a rotational role at best since hes a back up ball player. good news pratt is catching on. our linebackers and O-line have me reallllll worried

Agreed,

I believe we'll see a difference from seasons past right from the jump, albeit not without some growing pains. How quickly they can gel and produce wins is hard to say ? But I strongly feel some surprises are in store around here this season, some eye opening.

I agree. The offensive scheme will help this O-line out, I believe. Gotta give credit to the coaches for bringing bits and and pieces of the west coast offense with them. The days of just telegraphing we are gonna pass are hopefully over. I think the important part to me that I read was, Wrs learning to get separation, when talking about Tate. That is something that I have harped on for awhile now. Our receivers never seemed to get wide open. every pass had to be on the money because every pass was contested by the defense.

Why would you have him start over Vigil and not Evans?
