Why Bengals’ youth infusion at cornerback was the second-biggest story of Week 1

New York Times  

CINCINNATI — During a red-zone session in Friday’s practice, Trevor Siemian floated a ball toward the back corner of the end zone intended for receiver Shedrick Jackson. Quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher turned to offensive coordinator Brian Callahan and dropped a line from the movie “Semi-Pro” when Will Ferrell’s character Jackie Moon invents the alley-oop to the befuddlement of the referee. “Through three days, he’s consistent, he’s made a lot of plays on the ball,” head coach Zac Taylor said. That’s why a player like Ivey, a forgotten pick among the high-profile defensive draft class, showing off in the team’s first practice inside Paycor Stadium didn’t just leave fans searching Bengals.com wondering who No. Just take it day by day, don’t worry about the end goal, if I do what I’m supposed to be doing day by day it will show on its own.” If more days look look like the first week, Ivey, Turner and the youth infusion will leave Anarumo and the personnel staff with champagne problems on cutdown day.
