ROOKIE MINICAMP NOTES


Recommended Posts

I find it interesting that they are listing James Develin as a TE. Wasn't he a fullback? I'm now starting to wonder if they are making a move to formalize an H-back position for Orson Charles - and now need to also develop the requisite backup. I've always thought Brian Leonard would do well in that role as well. He could be our utility man extraordinaire.

[size=6][b]Notes: Burfict introduced; Versatile receivers[/b][/size]

Posted 51 minutes ago

Geoff Hobson Editor Bengals.com


If Vontaze Burfict plays middle linebacker like he handled his first NFL media opportunity Friday, the 21-year-old kid from Arizona State is going to be OK.

As befitting his role as the most talked-about player on this weekend's Bengals rookie minicamp roster, Burfict talked for eight minutes to all comers after the first practice politely and guardedly.

"Talking about what happened to me at Arizona State isn't going to help the Bengals get even better," said Burfict when asked about his controversial college career that included 16 personal fouls.

He admitted he can't wait "to hit," but he knows that is going to have to wait until the pads come on in training camp. Now is about putting the past behind, ranging from indifferent production last year to a poor combine to bad conditioning to some ill-chosen quotes that all helped NFL teams decide to lay off him in the draft.

"It's about time to get the pads on," he said. "The combine was not too good for me, so just for me to be in a defense and know where I'm playing is just wonderful and blessed."

Burfict feels comfortable in the middle since ASU ran a 4-3, but the first workout was long enough to catch the changes in defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's system. His blitzing may have caught head coach Marvin Lewis's eye on tape, yet even that is something he'll have to learn.

"The blitzes are complicated and very different from the way we ran them," Burfict said. "The way we set the front is a little different and the way we take on spills is a little different."

As he talked in front of his temporary steel locker that is standard issue for the rookies before training camp, the 6-3 Burfict said he felt good at what should be his weight of 250 pounds. The only problem was the new Paul Brown Stadium synthetic turf.

"It was just my feet," he said. "The cleats were starting to get hot in the turf."

[b]SLANTS AND SCREENS[/b]

» When Chad Ochocinco and Jerome Simpson were here, they could only play primarily one wide receiver position: The X, or the weakside spot on the outside.

So how about the two drafted receivers coming in here and playing multiple positions in their first practice? Third-rounder Mohamed Sanu played all three (both outside spots and the slot) and fifth-rounder Marvin Lewis Jones played the X and Z, the outside spot on the strong side.

» Jones, out of the University of California, made the play of the morning when he fought through pass interference and came back to catch to a deep ball over one of the tryout players, Taiedo Smith of Kentucky.

The name? He is Marvin Lewis Jones Jr., named after his father an Orange County sheriff named after his mother: Louise.

A couple Vontaze Burfict quotes of note. On what it is like to be on an NFL team and get on the field: "I'm ready to put some pads on. The combine wasn't too good for me. To finally be in a defense and know where I'm playing is just wonderful and blessed."

Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick after his first practice: "I'm just expecting to do my best. Every time I go on the field there's going to be something new I have to adjust to in practice. Those are some of the things I'm going to have correct in my game. Every day I'm just trying to go out there and get better."

Burfict on his biggest job right now: "I've just got to learn the defense, be a leader out there. Mike linebacker is like the quarterback on the defense. So it's just being a leader and just knowing what's going on around me -- every position around me, what they're doing."

[b] LB Burfict: 'I have a big chip on my shoulder'[/b]
[b]7 minutes ago[/b] - by Paul Dehner Jr.


[font=Arial, sans-serif]Arizona State LB [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/1691353/vontaze-burfict"]Vontaze Burfict[/url] was viewed as a first-round talent but went undrafted due to excessive personal fouls and a disastrous combine and pro day.

[b]Notes: Burfict introduced; Versatile receivers; Down Under; Pike hopeful[/b]
Posted 1 hour ago

Geoff Hobson

If Vontaze Burfict plays middle linebacker like he handled his first NFL media opportunity Friday, the 21-year-old kid from Arizona State is going to be OK.

As befitting his role as the most talked-about player on this weekend's Bengals rookie minicamp roster, Burfict talked for eight minutes to all comers after the first practice politely and guardedly.

"Talking about what happened to me at Arizona State isn't going to help the Bengals get even better," said Burfict when asked about his controversial college career that included 16 personal fouls.

He admitted he can't wait "to hit," but he knows that is going to have to wait until the pads come on in training camp. Now is about putting the past behind, ranging from indifferent production last year to a poor combine to bad conditioning to some ill-chosen quotes that all helped NFL teams decide to lay off him in the draft.

"It's about time to get the pads on," he said. "The combine was not too good for me, so just for me to be in a defense and know where I'm playing is just wonderful and blessed."

Burfict feels comfortable in the middle since ASU ran a 4-3, but the first workout was long enough to catch the changes in defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's system. His blitzing may have caught head coach Marvin Lewis's eye on tape, yet even that is something he'll have to learn.

"The blitzes are complicated and very different from the way we ran them," Burfict said. "The way we set the front is a little different and the way we take on spills is a little different."

As he talked in front of his temporary steel locker that is standard issue for the rookies before training camp, the 6-3 Burfict said he felt good at what should be his weight of 250 pounds. The only problem was the new Paul Brown Stadium synthetic turf.

"It was just my feet," he said. "The cleats were starting to get hot in the turf."

SLANTS AND SCREENS

»Second-rounder Devon Still, the defenisve tackle from Penn State, and fifth-rounder Marvin Jones, the wde receiver from California, signed their deals Friday after practice, giving the Bengals four of their 10 picks in the fold. All three fifth-rounders are done.

» When Chad Ochocinco and Jerome Simpson were here, they could only play primarily one wide receiver position: The X, or the weakside spot on the outside.

So how about the two drafted receivers coming in here and playing multiple positions in their first practice? Third-rounder Mohamed Sanu played all three (both outside spots and the slot) and Marvin Lewis Jones played the X and Z, the outside spot on the strong side.

» Jones made the play of the morning when he fought through pass interference and came back to catch to a deep ball over one of the tryout players, Taiedo Smith of Kentucky.

The name? He is Marvin Lewis Jones Jr., named after his father an Orange County sheriff named after his mother: Louise.

»First-round draft pick Dre Kirkpatrick, the cornerback from Alabama, spent his first practice getting acclimated to not playing man-to-man and playing off in zone coverage and admitted he's feeling his way around.

"I'm a man guy. I'm used to playing up in people's faces," he said. "I worked on that in the offseason, knowing I was going to be asked to do more of that in the NFL."
Kirkpatrick spent his first weekend as a pro last week in Las Vegas attending the Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto fight. He says he's a fan of both Floyd and boxing, but he may have to play a few games to get a better ticket. He said he didn't have ring-side seats "but really enjoyed it."

»Five-year Australian Rules Football vet Chris Bryan is on a tryout, but it's not his first stop at Paul Brown Stadium. During his five-game stint for the Buccaneers in 2010 he punted for Tampa Bay in its 24-21 win. Earlier that year he spent the entire training camp with Green Bay before getting cut. He spent the 2011 camp with the Jets before getting lopped. At 30 he's like a grandfather in this camp, but "I'm new to the game. These guys have been playing the game a lot longer than I have."

He punted against Bengals incumbent Kevin Huber, so he knows the challenge.

"I looked at his numbers last year and he's been getting better and better," Bryan said. "I'm just trying to kick the ball nice and consistent every time."

»A lot of people for a pulling for former University of Cincinnati quarterback Tony Pike in his tryout this weekend. The Cincy native from nearby Reading who was a sixth-round pick of the Panthers in 2010 is trying to come back from two-time elbow surgery for nerve damage.

When the first one didn't take, Pike had another procedure eight weeks ago. The Bengals have been trying to get him to PBS to try him out after mulling signing him when he got cut in last year's training camp.

But he sounded upbeat after Friday's first practice, what he called his biggest workload since last year's training camp in Carolina. He was more anxious to see how he threw in Friday's second session to see if the elbow could bounce back. With no ice or harness between practices, he looked relaxed.

"It's holding up well. The strength is almost 100 percent back. The accuracy feels fine. With the rehab process and the surgery you occasionally get some numbness and it might affect your spiral. But that's healing as I go. You're getting your feel back day by day."

Pike says he grew up wearing the full No. 7 Boomer Esiason uniform, ("old school") , o for a Cincy QB it meant a lot to pull on a Bengals' orange jersey No. 5.

"You think about a lot of people," Pike said. "I came down when Carson (Palmer) was here and playing the games. Jon Kitna. Back to Jeff Blake. All these guys. It's something special walking through that tunnel."

by Paul Dehner Jr., CBSSports.com
Rookie WR Mohamed Sanu played all three receiver positions during the first practice at rookie minicamp. He said he picked up the playbook quickly because it looked so familiar. "A lot of the stuff is the same [as Rutgers]," he said. "Just different terminology. Just got to get used to the different names with each play, but not much difference."

[url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/rapid-reports/post/19016956"]WR Sanu humble regarding high expectations[/url]
by Paul Dehner Jr., CBSSports.com
The diva receiver stereotype doesn't apply to third-round pick Mohamed Sanu (Rutgers). He humbly deflected expectations of assuming the open No. 2 WR position. "I'm going to have to learn from (the veterans) and earn my way up," Sanu said. "I'm not going to be like, 'hey, that's my spot.' You've just got to earn it. There's a lot of veterans on this team that already have their stripes, so I have to earn mine."

I certainly do have a woody right now. I really can't remember the last time a rookie came in and had that particular attitude. Careful now, gotta calm down, hope starting to rise, think of something else, picture Katie Blackburn naked, ....

Thanks for letting us know.

My paraphrasing

ML: Herron no pads on, we'll see how he does when pads are on.
ML: Binns gets a chance to show what he learned last season. He gets to hear it from the ground floor. May understand better now.
ML: in response to How important is speed at WR ? Need functional vertical speed. Need support habits (?)
ML: in response to UDFAs. The WR group has done some nice things, LB from Kansas State done some nice things. Other LBs done ok. Gotta have body hold up.
ML: in response to roster depth. We will work to get better and evaluate the young guys.
ML: in response to 4 guys flunking physicals. Someone from the (?) will break through and show themselves.
ML: blah blah blah...
