    NFL camps for Dukie rookies

    Leon Wright never made it to the Giants' camp since he didn't pass his physical, and now the Giants' fans won't be able to watch Ayanga Okpokowuruk. He was cut on Friday. http://www.sportspagemagazine.com/co...uk.shtml?41226

    That leaves Thad Lewis, Vincent Rey and Vince Oghobhaase with their NFL dreams still intact.

    I haven't found anything on Oghobhaase yet, but Vincent Rey has had a couple mentions on the Bengals' site.

    Of course it's still early, I hope all three are still playing when the preseason rolls around..I would expect we'll get to see a decent amount of Thad in the first game.

    I believe VO has signed with the Hartford Colonials of the UFL.

    Makes you wonder...is the UFL going to sort of act like a minor league eventually? I imagine the rosters will be made up of young guys hoping to make it in the NFL and older guys who can't start in the NFL that still want to play. It'll be interesting to see if Vince jumps to the NFL after a few years. Maybe he got an offer from them that was better than he would get as an undrafted free agent with the Dolphins?

    Hmmmm is right!

    From what you’ve seen so far (not assuming one of them will make the team) who is better, Jeromy Miles or Johnny Sears? Sears had a nice interception today and Lewis lauded him as one of the three undrafted free agents who has impressed him so far (LB Vincent Rey and RB Cordera Eason are the others).

    Look for Vincent Rey on TV tonight when the Bengals take on the Cowboys. Here's a preview from the Cincinnati side.

    Here's the salient quote--

    "• Speaking of undrafted rookies, linebacker Vincent Rey and cornerback Johnny Sears have had a good start to camp and look to have solid games."

    Talking One-Handed Tackle

    There was one play -- a punt return -- where Vincent dove to the left and appeared to grab the ankle of the returner and bring him down. It was a really athletic play by Vincent, although NBC didn't show the replay, even though the returner was injured. (Imagine if Vincent had been able to get both hands on him.)

    Vincent seemed to play the entire second half and at least some plays in the first half.

    FWIW, Dallas merely toyed with the Bengals. Romo played only one series, which led to a chip shot FG. The Bengals are potentially formidable with both Ocho Cinco (am I really going along with this conceit?) and TO at wide receiver but scored only after a long punt return in the final minute .

    This contains a nice nod to Thad.

    Eron Riley played last night for the Baltimore Ravens. He recorded one tackle on special teams, and was thrown to once on offense, but the pass was short. Unfortunately, former Heisman winner Troy Smith really struggled at QB when Eron was in.

    Ack! I totally forgot Eron was still in the NFL, albeit on the practice squad. It would be great to see him suit up on Sundays.

    I was at school in Ohio the year Smith won his Heisman, and I've always liked him (I'm not a Buckeye fan in general). Hated that he got sick right when he might have had a chance to get some game time in-season his first or second year, I'd like to see him stick somewhere, even as a backup.

    As far as Riley, hopefully he works his way up to being a contributorin a few seasons...I don't get the impression that he is there quite yet but I think he's still worth keeping around, at least for practice.

    What I'm really looking forward to is the Rams game...I'm hoping Thad gets at least a few snaps. Should be fun to see if V. Rey has another big performance in his next game too.

    Almost time for real football to start!

    Looks like Thad only played one series, but at least he made the most of it. 5/6 for 46 yards, finishing with the best yards per attempt of 7.7, and the second most yards total (Bradford had 57 total yards, but on 6/13 passing). Wish he had been able to play more, after those numbers I hope the coaches wish he had played more as well.
