CINCINNATI \u2013 Weather could impact training camp practice for the Bengals Friday as severe thunderstorms are forecast to pop up during the day. <\/p>\n
It was certainly a stormy day for offensive line coach Frank Pollack and the offense on Thursday. <\/p>\n
With false starts approaching double digits before a team of NFL officials led by Super Bowl LVI referee Ron Torbert, the Bengals offensive line seemed completely out of sorts at times. <\/p>\n
Brandon Allen had difficulty getting the offense into any sort of rhythm. The offensive line first team featured D’Ante Smith at right tackle, Alex Cappa at right guard, Ted Karras at center, Jackson Carman at left guard and Jonah Williams at left tackle, with Hakeem Adeniji filling in for Cappa at times. La’el Collins remains on the sideline in sweats as an observer.<\/p>\n
The defense, on the other hand, led by edge rushers Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard, appeared in midseason form. Hendrickson was fired up and demonstrative, celebrating his success and the success of the defense on several occasions. <\/p>\n
Both Hendrickson and Hubbard up the field against the offensive line and into quarterback Brandon Allen\u2019s face for whistled sacks. <\/p>\n
“It’s training camp. He’s getting ready to play,” Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo said. And generally during the season it’s against the scout team and it’s a little more scaled down. We’re working good on good, and he’s gonna work like it’s the game. That’s his job. As I said, he’s an elite edge rusher in our league, and we’re happy he’s ours.”<\/p>\n
