This has obviously been a very strange year for the entire NFL (and country). Teams haven’t been able to have their usual mini camps where coaches are able to talk new and returning players through their schemes for the upcoming season, and then have the players go out on the field and walk through it.
That second part may be the most important thing lacking from this offseason program. Players and coaches have been in plenty of contact via virtual chat rooms. However, they haven’t been able to see the players out on the field yet, which has Bengals’ offensive coordinator Brian Callahan cautiously optimistic.
