Daily observations from camp

[*pally*]

Day 1

2. All eyes were on Joe Burrow coming off of wrist surgery, and he threw with zip to all levels of the field.
“I think I’m in a good spot,” Burrow said. “It’s going to continue to get better — especially getting all the reps that I’m going to get during training camp.” pic.twitter.com/3PLUEN0wHj

4. Willie Anderson, the best right tackle in team history, kept a close eye on rookie RT Amarius Mims who is wearing his #71.
“He’s a tall, big, guy with basketball player feet and strong-ass hands,” Willie told me. “If he puts his hands on you, you either stop or go backwards.” pic.twitter.com/NcncMcNiK4

5. Rookie Daijahn Anthony (#33) had the first INT of camp on a tipped Jake Browning pass. Was he looking forward to seeing it when the team watches video?
“I really don’t want to see the good plays,” he said. “I want to see the bad plays so I know what I need to get better at.” pic.twitter.com/yTGiJYsAxl

2. Sam Hubbard looks great coming off of ankle surgery. His goal is 10+ sacks.
“Just being an athlete again,” Sam said. “Moving how I want to move. Running at top speed and cutting. Joe got out of the pocket and I was chasing him and tracking his hip like I couldn’t in the past.” pic.twitter.com/0Ru1TTBDJv

4. Dax Hill is gaining confidence at outside CB. His closing speed on runs and short passes really stands out.
“He’s got traits that some of the best that have ever done it have,” said Lou Anarumo. “If you’re going to draw up an outside corner, he hits all the checkmarks.” pic.twitter.com/PYfjB9blkZ

5. At the start of practice, RB Chase Brown jumped in to some drills with WRs coach Troy Walters.
“I want to upgrade that aspect of my game – especially if I want to take a step forward in this offense and in this league,” Brown said. “That’s what I focused on this offseason.” pic.twitter.com/KxtElihIfV

new punter enters the competition

Zac Taylor said that Joe Burrow wouldn’t throw today. He did not mention punting. pic.twitter.com/A6hhjA5Uw9

not just kicking casually either

Today is an off day for Joe Burrow.

20+ punts later under the direction of Bengals ST Coordinator Darrin Simmons — maybe this isn’t an off day ? pic.twitter.com/CFqFgSmS8u

“You either stop or go backwards”

[*pally*]

2. Joe Burrow didn’t throw, so Jake Browning took QB reps with the 1st team.
“I’m going into my 6th year and it’s the first time I have some job security,” he said. “That’s kind of nice, but part of the reason I think I improved a lot was you keep yourself right on that edge.” pic.twitter.com/gYNb60kUpw

4. Evan McPherson practiced FGs on a goalpost that is half the normal width. He was 26 for 31 last year (84%) and all 5 misses were from beyond 50 yards.
“He’s got to be up in the low 90s – and still hit all of the 50+ yard kicks that we ask him to do,” said Darrin Simmons. pic.twitter.com/bZUEVCIcCz

5. My standout of camp so far is Andrei Iosivas.
No surprise to Hilton, who worked out with him in the offseason.
“He’s going to be a big asset to our offense – especially in the slot,” Mike said. “He’s a bigger guy and can obviously run. He’s going to be a big target for us.” pic.twitter.com/s4zm5yOT4X

Obviously rooting for my boy Yoshi.

I am rooting for all of them. It is TC and we will hear great things players do, but likely will need preseason to see the concerns.

TY Pally for the info on camp.

It is interesting they are getting Yoshi reps in the slot. We know Chase, Tee, Jones, Irwin and Gesicki can play slot. It would be sick if every WR and TE we put on the field can line up anywhere. That would a nightmare for defensive signal caller to be lined up correctly.

I’m premature AF but i just feel an all-pro selection in Mims future

His combo of size and speed is deadly


No way he’s gonna be ass

I’d even go as far to say as Caleb Williams, Amarious Mims, Marvin Harrison Jr, and Xavier Worthy are the only guys in the 1st round that have no shot of sucking

And I'd love to see Burton make some noise this season as well.

I forgot about Burton. I think he can play the slot as well.

Boyd was great for us for many years, but he was not as good if not in this slot. I also felt he was starting to decline so personally glad we moved on from him. I wish him well, just not against us.

[WeezyBengal]

I'm all in on Yoshi. Dude is going to be a stud this year.

Sam Hubbard is riding off on a cart. Didn’t anything happen to him.

DJ Turner II skies for pass breakup against Tee Higgins. Nice play by the second-year cornerback #Bengals pic.twitter.com/j7cnbvAPHk

Nice play against the much bigger Tee.

2. Awesome to see 4th round pick Erick All (Fairfield HS) cleared to practice nine months after tearing his ACL at Iowa.
“I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Erick said. “I was thinking I was going to get cleared later down the road – like a month from now. I’m happy. I’m excited.” pic.twitter.com/F3RpYxo3DC

4. Don’t sleep on TE Tanner Hudson’s value. The QBs trust him, and he’s also the emergency long snapper.
“He’s one of those guys that bounces around fighting to make a team,” said Jake Browning. “Then all of a sudden he plays, and I had all the confidence in the world in him” pic.twitter.com/LKAbExacdB

5. Imagine being a defensive back when 6’8, 340 pound Amarius Mims pulls and starts rumbling in your direction.
“He has traits that could lead to greatness for a number of years,” said Dave Lapham. “This guy is so special physically – it’s remarkable.” pic.twitter.com/SZFahcqoJy

He apparently tangled legs with Mike Gesecki.  MRI was negative for any major injury

Bengals DE Sam Hubbard left Sunday's practice on a cart due to a knee injury that he suffered and after further evaluation isn't believed to be serious, a source tells me @Enquirer

I guess we'll be getting a really good look at Myles Murphy's offseason growth as they will likely rest Hubbard as a precaution.

[*pally*]

FYI the Bengals will be on Inside Traning Camp today starting at noon on the NFL Network

[*pally*]

Sammy will be day to day with the knee

Trey is also apparently injured no specifics but he is also day to day

Today will be a rest day for Wilson, Hilton, and some of the OL
