Notes From Training Camp 2025

No, he got hurt doing a job, it is not the Bengal's fault he broke his neck. Players in the NFL suffer injuries all of the time. Moss did not do something special helping us win, he just got hurt.

Still, would of been nice to at least check on the guy while he was recovering to act like yah care a touch...

[Whatever]

I'm just wondering if anyone wants to talk about training camp in the training camp thread or if it's just going to be bitching about the FO, contract talk, yapping about posters acting like trolls, golf, bourbon, and wanting FA's that aren't here and probably won't be.

Where is Pally to give us some notes, news or even better highlights?

Good point Whatever.

Maybe I misread, but I thought he said he did tell the team.

But if they knew he broke his neck, I agree bad PR to not check on him if it is true.

Fair enough, I will try and only discuss on field activities while ignoring the rest of the activities.

There is a whole sports psychology around injury recovery. 

This organization took in $700+ million in revenue, most likely. Has a yearly payroll of nearly $300 million. Why not pay a sports psychologist $100k and a social worker $50k snd have them just do routine wellness checks on players and their families? Especially injured ones. 

It is a drop in the bucket, money wise. And might actually, you know, help the players emotionally & psychologically, which should yield better performance. 

At worst, it will make them feel like their employer cares about them as people (at least a bit) instead of just being hunks of meat. Again, you'll get happier players and better performance. It might even yield a hometown discount in a contract negotiation once it a while. If it happence once it pays for itself for nearly a decade.

Are we even allowed to talk about him now that he's no longer a Bengal?

First off, you are taking his word no one called him. I highly doubt "no one" called him. He's probably got his feelings hurt because Zac didn't call him every day to check on him. It's the real world. When I was injured and had to retire, how many people from the PD Administration do you think called me? The machine moves on....with or without you. And I've heard the exact same thing from many others in the same situation. If you think otherwise, you're in for a big shock.

We can add that to free child-care, free food, free transportation, free security and whatever else these multi-millionaire athletes think they should get. Maybe they should keep them on the roster when they don't deserve a spot so they don't lose their insurance. Oh wait, they already did that.

That is all I am sayin'.

Just a little consideration.

Spot on Ike. I think this would help showing the team gives a damn about you, just me, or I mean, just us.

I think he had unrealistic expectations. Most people do. Coaches are busy. I'd bet money trainers and doctors were checking in on him regularly.

Bengals Camp Day 6:
* Another big day for defense, with CTB, Jordan Battle and Daijahn Anthony breaking up passes in the end zone while Fig Newton picked off Joe Burrow. All in red zone 7 work. Battle told Ja'Marr Chase after a PBU, "I don't care. Catch the ball. Catch the…

"Myles (Murphy) and Joseph (Ossai) have been (having a good camp), TJ Slaton is going to be a great player for us. ... we roll 91 back out there, chance to be a special year." Joe Burrow on facing Bengals defensive line in camp practice.

Demetrius Knight Jr. thump on Chase Brown, triggers and intense end to practice between offense and defense. Orlando Brown Jr. and Joseph Ossai get into it in a mini scuffle. pic.twitter.com/HsrRjBvRcB

Three ridiculous catches today from Iosivas, including two Carolina style seam balls similar to the play from Week 4.

Burrow says Andrei Iosivas is much better at 50-50 balls. Turned it into a stength of his game. "It wasn't a strength of his when he first got here."

C'mon man, you know that sort of thing only happens year round on here..

well hope to go down tomorrow and will give an update, the one bright spot today is Mclaughlin cleared to practice,hope to see him on the field tomorrow

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Thanks Pally.

Nice hit by Knight, but that was on my other favorite rookie Tahj Brooks, not Chase Brown as they said. Happy to hear Murphy is having
a good camp, he is the guy I really want to see show up this year. Last year was really disappointing for him and the guys that backed him
up. I figured Ossai would have a good camp for sure.

Iosivas could be the most improved player on Offense this year. I think it was Chase Brown last year for us.

I feel Yoshi is going to continue to improve in 3rd year and will become a 3rd down go to for Burrow and even more red zone targets
