From Lance McAlisters blog...
Thoughts from Georgetown
I drove down to watch the Saturday morning 9-11am session.
Things that jumped out/sights seen:
*ESPN's Chris Mortensen watching practice on the sidelines with jeans and a t-shirt on. Marvin came over and spoke to him during practice for about 5-minutes. Chris talked to Chad afterwards. No camera around at that point.
*Sight of camp: Landon Johnson. Holy crap! And I mean holy crap. He looks like a totally different player. He has added 20-25 lbs of muscle. You should see his upper body. He did it with diet and lifting...and had an offseason to do it without worry of the health of his shoulder. I kept looking at the roster to see his number and then looking at him to see if it really was him. It was.
*What a thrill it must be for Newport Central Catholic/Georgetown QB Jeff Smith to be in camp at his old school, and playing for the Bengals.
*5th round QB Jeff Rowe appeared a little shaky. As one observer said, "Not good when your QB has a wind up like Robin Roberts"
*A very vocal Ed Hartwell yelling at the offense, "Come on....were playin' football now!"
*TJ Wright, CB out of Ohio U., tipped several passes and looked like he knew what was going on.
*Play of the day: Keiwan picking off a pass and lateraling to Deltha O'Neal...and a fired up O'Neal high fiving teammates
*Catch(es) of the day: Chad up and over Deltha, one hander by Henry, Brazell with a couple of leaping catches
*Awfully nice to spend a practice watching Carson, without watching his knee and weight transfer.
*Kenderick Allen, DT, is HUGE.
*Marvin White, rookie S, looks like if he hit you, you would know it.
*Ahmad Brooks is simply a stunning football figure to look at and watch.
*I could see Kenny Irons really doing some big things this season.
Interesting on Landon, contract year... I guess he came prepared to be paid.
Ahmad and Marvin White will be amazing for the next few years.
