Bengals get physical in camp
GEORGETOWN, Ky. — The Cincinnati Bengals completed their third day of training camp practice Sunday, August 2, at Georgetown College. This was the team’s first practice in full pads and luckily for all parties involved they were in full gear. There was a whole lot of hitting going on in Day 3.
Oklahoma no musical
In football terms, The Oklahoma Drill is an ultra-physical practice drill that pits offense vs. defense in a battle of strength and will. The players locked horns in the drill today and here are some of the winners and losers.
Wide receiver Jerome Simpson has been ridiculed for his inconsistencies catching the ball and route running, but when it came to blocking no problem. Simpson absolutely destroyed defensive backs Morgan Trent and Geoffrey Pope in the drill pancaking them both. The receiver actually had one of his best days in camp. Simpson made a couple of difficult grabs look easy in 11-on-11 drills.
• Rookie undrafted free agent receiver Greg Orton slam dunked safety Chinedum Ndukwe to the turf.
• Tight end Ben Utecht mauled rookie linebacker Rey Maualuga.
• Defensive tackle Domata Peko and center Kyle Cook were a draw in their battle.
• Receiver Maurice Purify dominated safety Roy Williams and the two continued to scuffle after the whistle had blown. They tussled more later on during drills.
• Offensive guard Andrew Crummey was no match for defensive tackle Jason Shirley who beat him like a drum. Shirley tossed Crummey aside like a rag doll at the point of attack to make the tackle.
Note: Quarterback Carson Palmer missed his second straight practice due to illness.

It’s only one day, but having several top tier players thumped by lesser knowns is not exactly encouraging.

Hey, give us some word. What’s Palmer’s illness? You can’t tell us? It seems so secretive, why?

We’re being told that Palmer is suffering from flu-like symptoms.

As secretive as Marvin likes to be, “flu like symptoms” could be a dislocated knee by Wed news.
