The most notable things from the Bengals’ second day of training camp.
Day 2 of training camp is here for the Cincinnati Bengals. Day 1 went to the defense as they came out hot. Can Joe Burrow get the offense on the right track on Day 2?
BJ Hill gets a Veterans Day and Myles Murphy carted off with possible heat related issue

This was the plan from the get-go as Hill recovers from his lower leg injury. They want to make sure they don’t push him too hard and make anything worse.
Still, it is something to monitor as the season gets closer every day.
Myles Murphy just left practice early sitting on the back of a cart.
Was being looked at by trainer as he was walking away from individual drills.

It is a good sign that he was walking away. He also wouldn’t have been the first player to have an issue with the heat, as Josh Newton went off needing water and to cool down before returning.
Still, when the cart comes ou,t it is always worth noting.

Two of Burrow’s best traits are his ability to avoid the pass rush and his ability to deliver passes off-platform. You can see these drills highlight those two areas. One is working with dummies constantly getting their hands on and around him, and the other is practicing throwing off a bootleg towards his left.

Defensive changes
There’s a completely different approach toward teaching tackling. Instead of one specific drill for each position group, there’s a rotation where all the positions are doing all of the different drills. From defensive linemen working on tackling in space to safeties working on…

After a poor day by the offense yesterday, Burrow started today with a shot play to Higgins. Cam Taylor-Britt stops it again on an incomplete pass.

Much has been made about Cincinnati firing Lou Anarumo and bringing in Al Golden to coach the defense.
We don’t know exactly how their schemes will vary, but we have seen so far that the defensive coaches have been mixing things up with the defensive drills they’re running. Having defenders ready to make tackles from a variety of areas and situations seems like a positive change for a very young defense.
Highlights from Day 2

It’s a hot one out here today. Josh Newton feeling the heat had to come off the field getting sick and get water poured on him #Bengals
Also, Dax Hill got 7 on 7 action today at outside CB
