Yep, this Brennan Guy, Whoever the hell he is, is doing good work.  His videos are sometimes interesting (and technologically speaking, mind-blowing).  This one, though, has an all too familiar image:

Monday quick hits

Posted 1 hour ago

Margus Hunt knew once he got the call in the second round that he would soon see things he had never seen before.

Mark down Sunday's Oklahoma Drill for the Bengals rookie right end from SMU via Estonia.

"First time ever doing it. In that kind of fashion," said Hunt before Monday's practice. "We went up against D-linemen straight up, but never against an offensive guy and then having to make a tackle. It was definitely a great environment with guys going all out and everybody cheering for everybody."

Hunt particularly enjoyed the hit-a-thon put on by rookie safety Shawn Williams.

Now mark off another one. For the first time the 6-8, 277-pound Hunt went up against someone taller when he faced off against 6-9, 322-pound veteran right tackle Dennis Roland.

"Officially," Hunt said. "We had a guy that was 6-9, but I never went against him in that fashion. When I saw that matchup, I was excited. He's a big dude. It was a good way to see how they play with their pads downs."

Hunt looked like he got just as low as Roland, if not lower, and he knows that's what he has to do now that the pads are on. Football is nothing new even though he's been playing just five years.

"It's good to be back playing again with the pads and learning," Hunt said. "Absolutely it's about leverage and staying low. They're coming at you fast and you have to be ready and in position."

DALTON UNFAZED: After three crisp sessions before the pads came on, the offense flagged on Sunday. Quarterback Andy Dalton went 4-for-10 in 11-on-11 after winging it about 70 percent but he was undaunted before Monday's practice.

"It's a whole different aspect once pads go on. Guys can be more physical out there at receiver and corner," Dalton said. "You have to get used to getting off guys, breaking press coverage and different things like that. We've had a couple of guys sitting out, different guys getting in, and they've got to take advantage of all these reps. But we've been in full pads one day. We'll see how it goes as the weeks go on."

Dalton preferred to expound on what has gone right in the first four days and certainly he's had different targets on different days. On Friday it was wide receiver Marvin Jones and rookie tight end Tyler Eifert. On Saturday it was wide receiver Mohamed Sanu and rookie running back Giovani Bernard.

"That's kind of the way this offense is. We've got a lot of guys that are playmakers. You're saying all this and A.J. (Green) hasn't even been on the field yet," Dalton said. "That's what this offense can do. It can be a different guy in different games, different plays, different series. It just kind of depends what's going on. But I'm really comfortable out there. Marvin, Mo, Jermaine (Gresham), Tyler, Gio, Hawk (Andrew Hawkins), all these guys.  You just never know when you're number is going to be called.

"You never know until the season gets going. Until you start playing games and get to go against some competition. We'll see how it plays out. We've got a lot of guys that I trust completely and have full confidence in."

Dalton says the way training camp is designed anybody can come out of the woodwork.

"We're installing so many different things. We might be working on one thing and it's, 'Hey, the tight end is probably going to catch more balls today.' Or the guys out wide are going to catch more balls based on what the defense is installing," he said.

"A different guy could get the ball a lot more just because of where we're at in training camp and the install process. That's how it works. You never know how a team is going to play us. We've got A.J. He could draw a lot of double coverage so that leaves other guys in one-on-ones."

For Dalton, there's enough talent and balance. But there's one thing that needs to be captured.

"The biggest thing for us is just being consistent. We have to be able to play well at the beginning of the year and just play through the whole season," Dalton said. "We have potential to do a lot of good things. Shoot, with the running game we've got Benny (Green-Ellis) and a great complement with Gio. In the passing game we just have to make sure everyone is on the same page and things like that. That's the biggest thing kind of going in camp is trying to find the guys that are going to help this team win. I think we know a good part of it. With training camp we're just trying to get better every day. We've done a good job of that so far."

INJURY UPDATE: Right tackle Andre Smith (calf), wide receiver Brandon Tate (hamstring) and long snapperBryce Davis (illness) have all been cleared to work Monday. But they're going slow on Green (knee). The word is he's improving, but he may not return until after the team's first practice after the preseason opener, which would be Aug. 10.

UP NEXT: The Bengals are off Tuesday and return to work at the Paul Brown Stadium practice fields Wednesday at 3 p.m. with the gates opening at 2.

Which one is Lacy? 

The one who looks like he ate Tony Franklin. Both Andre Smith and Lacy went to Alabama, maybe Andre showed him where to get the biggest cheeseburgers. Honestly, even the Andre of three years ago would snicker at Lacy. I'm surprised the Packers aren't making him work on the side until he can look a little like an NFL running back.

Sunday, on the first day in pads, the defense got the best of the offense in a big way. Sounds like that got reversed today. Yeah, the defense didn't have Hall and Newman, but the offense doesn't have Green, Whitworth, Boling...
