It's one practice. Lets not overreact 

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.

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

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

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.

 

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

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

 

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.

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 they go tomorrow as well but I could be incorrect.

 

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.

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.

Exactly!

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.

    • lol, no thanks but that was the one I was talking about. Moose could probably write a book.
    • I have picked and jabbed at our stellar top 32 defense all year..... had to stop here to keep it positive, carry on......
    • I think Cross has played better than expected. Jones  looks like a decent player especially when you consider where he was drafted. Latu is showing promise. OL looks to have decent depth but a swing tackle may be a problem. I'm sure we'll find out at some point...ughhh I think the WR's are as good as they have been in a while and I was wrong about AP..He looks great IMO. JT looks to be back to elite form but can he stay healthy. I may be a minority here but I still think AR has a chance to be special but he has to stay healthy first.   We just need new leadership and a change in philosophy and quit wasting time and it's a lot easier to be positive. With the right leadership and a little luck, maybe we can turn it around quickly and seeing other teams do it quickly gives me hope so that is positive too.
    • Oh yeah! That's not the one JIvan quoted, but I see it. That one took about 2 minutes to read. Do you need some Cliffs Notes? I wouldn't be a jerk about it except that you're laughing at MooseJaw for no reason.
    • It’s definitely coaching, IMO. Otherwise how did the Chiefs develop Sneed to be an All Pro as a 4th rounder, and outside McDuffie that’s a 1st rounder, their CBs and safeties in Bryan Cook, Chamarri Conner, Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson all drafted Round 2 or later with   In fact Cook is the ONLY 2nd rounder from the above list and the rest Rounds 4 or later. They have Jaden Hicks waiting in the wings as a 4th rounder for safety.
