Daily observations from camp

[*pally*]

Joe Flacco just took off on a scramble for a big gain.
Both teams are roaring in laughter.
Lou is doubled over and can’t believe it.

Myles Murphy is down.

Last thing we needed.

Can someone make a thread of all the injuries so far this year. I feel like there's been too many for me to keep track.

Bengals aren't doing nearly as bad as other teams. Just part of the game.

Practice and training camp have come to a close.

Congratulations to Joe Burrow for making it through the entire thing

He's either super Bowl MVP or going to bust his ACL in the first 4 plays against New England.

No in-between.

Yea, was hoping for a big year from him as we deal with what to do with Trey next season.

Need him to play meaningful snaps this year to see if whether he's ass or not. An injury just means the verdict is delayed an entire year.

no starters will play on Thursday...only exception might be that Hill-Turner battle

no news on Murphy yet

Mike Gesicki has been as active today as I’ve seen him at camp.

Just made a back shoulder, one hand catch in 11-on-11.

Tremendous timing and throw from Burrow, great reaction by Gesicki.

2. A few weeks ago, I posted video of Mike Gesicki practicing one-handed catches…it came in handy today.
Gesicki had an excellent practice with 6 catches including a TD.

4. The first string defense made it rough on Colts starter Anthony Richardson, but 39-year-old Joe Flacco made a few plays against the Bengals’ backups — including this TD run.

5. It ended with each side’s 1st and 2nd team offensive getting one shot at a 2:00 drill. The Colts scored the only points on a 62-yard FG by Matt Gay.

I agreed with BengalBob who posted earlier and he or someone deleted his post, that I have already seen enough of MM to know he 
is not ass. Over the last 4 to 5 weeks of last regular season till this year's OTA's, Training Camp and Preseason we have only seen massive 
improvement in Myles Murphy's game, thank God it sounds like only an MCL at this point and only out 3-5 weeks.

Ossai looked great today against some damn good Colts starters (a top OL). Ossai looks big, fast and strong with moves and has always 
took great angles. Cedric Johnson also has looked good but we need to add an End just because of Cam Sample being out for the season.

Money has had a rough camp. I am hearing he's missed more than normal. Wonder if there is a struggle to get used to the new holders. Operations may be off.

If he didn't have an injury at the time, why would anyone bring it up? Seems new to some but par for the course for Burrow.

Maybe during the practice week in season he has used the glove and we don't get video's of that. Because it's his first training camp, maybe we and the local media are just now noticing.

These reports came from legit local media personalities tho. Not posters. We just shared the news here. 

And they have been beating the drum regarding Burrow camp struggles (more bad days then good, and drop off from the start of camp when he was seemingly on fire). The wrist concern has crept into the local media camp reports for the past couple weeks.

At one point during camp he had 3 different holders. Now with Robbins hurt he has a new holder in Rehkow who is learning a new technique something about 1 finger instead of 2. I honestly have zero clue about kicking and holding.
