Everyone was talking about the training camp scuffle from Day 1 of camp for the Cincinnati Bengals
. Some people were concerned that Zac Taylor was letting too much go.In reality, it was just players going out and competing against one another to get better.
Ja’Marr Chase talked to the media after Day 2 of camp. When asked if he liked seeing that type of fire from the defensive back,
“A lot of competitiveness going on, and getting each other better. That’s what I want, exactly what I want. I never
seen JD like that. It’s new. I like it. I think it makes them guys practice a little harder,” he said.
The JD he was referring to is expected nickel corner starter Jalen Davis. It isn’t surprising that a former undrafted free agent who has had to scratch and claw his way on the practice squad and roster would be out there with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. Davis mixed it up with Chase, but also with Mike Gesicki during day one of training camp.
The defense is looking to play with more of an edge this season, and Chase is happy about that. The Bengals will head into day three of their training camp on Friday.
