At least it's just a torn pec; shouldn't really linger for a DB going forward, I wouldn't think.

It amazes me how catastrophic those are. There never even seems a doubt when you see a torn pec; just a straight up 'boom - out for the year'.

That sucks.

Bray is gonna win the backup job unless he completely ****s up in preseason.

Yeah, Brilliant. Hill pops an Achilles and then what ?

Cincinnati's first-round selection, suffered a torn pectoral muscle and could potentially miss three to four months, NFL Media's Mike Garafolo reported, per someone informed of the injury.

Around the NFL will have more on this story shortly.

I'd expect the Bengals to re-sign Leon Hall now.

Great to see all our rookies stepping up and making plays so far.

Maybe we can let some of the marginal players like Hammond, Davis, Mauga, Flemming, and Dat go. Looks like we have an upgrade for every one of these guys.

DaT can't stay healthy, he only makes the roster if the other guys suck.


speaking of suck ....... Hammond is #1 by default.


c'mon Hill!!

I hope March is the real deal and not another Catapano media hype.

RunKC's Camp Notes:

-Charcandrick West is probably the most fan friendly player. He's just a good guy who shows tons of love to the fans.
-The Tyreek Hill hype is very real. He's the fastest person I've ever seen. He kept owning guys out here from his lateral speed in cuts through short routes to long vertical plays. He dominated MP22 on that long TD. It wasn't even close.
-DAT is still pretty good. He's beating guys like Hill, but he's not as impressive.
-Tyler Bray seems like he knows what he's doing. He's more comfortable now. He throws long beauties every day and it's impressing coaches bc he has more touch now. One coach yelled "that's what happens when you set those feet right!". He's gotten better technically and they seem to feel comfortable.
-Kevin Hogan looks pretty good. He actually seems like he could be a starter in 2 years. Looks better than Murray IMO.
-Conley looks about the same. He looks like he knows the system more and his routes look pretty good. He talked with Maclin a lot.
-Demarcus Robinson looks pretty good physically but it's clear that he doesn't know the system much if at all. I doubt he plays much this year.
-Streater will easily be the #4 at worst. He's an upgrade over the shit we had last year based on athleticism and size alone. He's made some plays.
-OL is pretty basic. I think we're set up well. Nothing really to report here..
-If what I saw from Chris Jones was any indication, he'll be starting by mid season. He's going to take Allen Bailey's job this year. It's kind of crazy when you see him bc he's not as wide as Poe/Howard and he's not as muscular as Nick Williams, but he's tall, very strong and he's extremely quick. He gets by guys so well bc of his speed to power IMO. OL try to lock in on him but they can't bc he's so fast. I can't underestimate that aspect of his game. He is so explosive and it shows. He's noticeably faster off the snap than the other DL.
His hand use is also really good. He's got some good moves. He keeps winning reps that would be sacks in games, plus he gets his hands up. He stuffed a Bray pass today and that's impressive doing that to a 6'6" QB.
I'm sticking to my comparison of Malik Jackson.
-Can confirm that the Justin March hype is real too. We saw the hit on Ware. He's tenacious and energetic. One thing Mauga is good at is run defense, but he's slow. March is a true sideline to sideline talent. He's super fast and he's good in coverage. Blitzes and defending sweep runs will improve bc of him.
There's no way he shouldn't be starting next to DJ.
-Ford is really hard to tell. He looks the same but bigger. Same super fast get off. It's all up to him, but he looked pretty good today.
-Russell was solid. He's got the skills to be an outside or inside corner. He's not great but he's not bad at all. That's awesome to see from your 4th corner.
-DJ White has good ball skills and a sense for the ball, but he's not doing well inside IMO. DAT roasted him and exposed his lateral movement flaws a bit. Russell was much better there and it showed.White does better on the outside where his best asset is defending downfield passes.

Bottomline is this team is a playoff team and it has as much overall talent as most teams in the NFL. IMO distance that they go in January will be determined by injuries and home field.

The difference is March is being hyped by the coaching staff and front office.

Good shit!

Really excited about Jones and March.

[Mother****erJones]

Whelp now that my baseball season is over, it's back to football!

Quick random thoughts:

Hope for the best with injuries and health.

Can't wait to see Justin March.

Intrigued by this young CB core and seeing how it comes together.

This should be Jamaal's best OL and I'm expecting a good season
