Why do I get the feeling we're going to have another stumbling start to the regular season?

Because that’s our comfort zone, weak starts….

Not too high not too low guys. It's a practice.

No word on Latu?  Is he not getting any pressure?

I think the Bengals invested heavily in their O line during the offseason and draft

It just mimics every preseason for years now. We look rusty and unprepared in practice. People say "It's just practice". Week 1 rolls around and hey apparently it wasn't just practice - we really weren't prepared.

 

I hope we come out guns blazing week 1, but I've just read too much of this during preseasons for me to not be worried.

[krunk]

There's 2 practices though. We didn't look good against Arizona day one either

I'm sorry. I'm just not the type to care about how we look in practice. I wait til the real games.

I hope you're right and we just need to adjust, but at this point I really won't be satisfied until we come out and look competitive week 1.

Getting the feeling AR is going to have accuracy issues.

 

That throw isn't an accuracy problem, it's a communication problem. Richardson will be inconsistent with accuracy, but that's not what's going on there.

More like reading the D issues against experienced DCs like Lou Anurumo kinds...let us keep in mind he still doesn't have enough starts under his belt, we have to temper expectations.

We need to win Week 1, I'm with you. And it's not encouraging to hear that the guys are getting outplayed in a joint practice.

Teams are just going to play the run against AR and JT crowding the box and our pass catchers are going to have to win a lot of 1-on-1s for teams to change the way they play us. That is how I see it play out in the beginning till AR and the pass catchers make enough big plays for the safeties to back off.

Like Krunk said, it sounded bad in the Cardinal's first practice as well.  No if we don't show up in practice 2, that will be a real concern for me.

[krunk]

Honestly I only really care about what I see in the actual preseason game. The practice not so much.

Is there a second practice? I thought it was just today...

I think they go tomorrow as well but I could be incorrect.

There's a lot of context missing from practice. If the team decides to work on specific stuff vs trying to "win" the practice, it could look like they're being outperformed. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is interesting. Maybe the quicker pace helps the offense.

 

 

AR is better in game scenarios where he can be unleashed.

Precisely. The Eagles did us the same way last year but we looked much better against them during the actual preseason game. I think we won too.

I think it's just one practice, today. The game is Thursday, they won't practice the day before a game. 

 

This article calls today's practice the final one for Bengals camp.

My bad. I thought it was like Arizona setup

I think we panic too quickly here on this board.  We come out with some duds early in the season and we’ll know our team may be in trouble.  Until then, we’ll have good days and bad days, and pre-season still means exactly nothing.  

[Mikemccoy84]

As Chad said Anurumo is one of the best defensive coordinators in the nfl. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We are getting more info today then we got the entire training camp at grand park.

This has been a very long practice lol.

Looks like we rebounded a little on both sides of the ball.  Maybe this game on Thursday will be chippy and fun to watch…

[chad72]

Early in the season, the D plays better with better health and unless you are an experienced O, the rhythm for the D is better. So, I am hoping the D holds the fort enough times early on giving the O time to gel and settle as the games go on. 

 

I also feel that AD could be a red zone specialist early on before getting more involved between the 20s as the season goes on.
