Joe Burrow early-training camp thoughts; takeaway from the trenches & team's Covid conduct

Hear That Podcast Growlin': A show about the Cincinnati Bengals

With training camp now rolling, Paul and Jay report on their initial takeaways from the first few days of action in Cincinnati, including Joe Burrow's...well...everything. Jay highlights what Burrow did on the field, his comportment, and what he said after practice. Paul then shares his observations about the Bengals' soldiers in the trenches, both offensive and defensive. Jackson Carman, the team's second-round pick in the 2021 draft, has a long road ahead of him if he wants to start. What did Zac Taylor say about the 21-year-old's path to being a regular? Plus, how concerned should Cincy fans be about Larry Ogunjobi being placed on the PUP list? Evan McPherson is training under pressure and under the Bengals' Covid precautions, there's little to be gathered from players.
