Saturday's stories out of camp ...
3 things to watch for in Idaho State's scrimmage on Monday
Breaking it all down — ISU defensive line coach used both brains and brawn to gain an edge while playing
Early observation from day 6:
Idaho State practiced twice on Saturday. Both times outside in the heat on the ICCU Practice Field. Bengals head coach Mike Kramer pushed his guys to their limit.
“I think it’s important that as a head coach you have a sense of what it takes to be in shape to be able to play in not only the opener but game 12," Kramer said. "So it’s not all or nothing for game one. It’s all or nothing for game 12. And in between are all those other games. ... So in between we want to be in shape, we want to be fast (and) we want to be thinking well, but we want to still have an element of being able to get better as the season goes along. So it’s a mystery and it takes awhile for an experienced coach to figure out how to do it.”
Quotable quote: Quarterback Justin Arias on what he needs to do for the Bengals' first scrimmage of the fall ...
"The key thing for me is just to get the ball out fast, and don’t hold on to the ball. Whether that’s throwing it away, making quick reads. Trying to simulate the game and not hold on to the ball.”
News and notes from Saturday
— Bailey said ISU’s full offensive playbook was installed after the
first three days. Because the Bengals want to play fast, the playbook is
more condensed than a squad that huddles.
"We put it in in three days and then we just get better at certain parts," Bailey said. "... Certain concepts we focus on from day to day and then formationally we do certain things from day to day. But it’s in."
"When you’re trying to go fast you’re limited in terms of (formations)," Bailey continued. "So to go faster, obviously, you have to go less. But we just find a happy medium in terms of how much do we want to do? How much guys can handle? ... We want to be multiple enough and be able to have enough offense to be able to adapt it to our personnel.”
