I wasn't able to watch any of Thursday's game live, but I will watch the replays. For now, here's a Twitter compilation. After the first preseason game, here's whose stock is up and whose is down, regarding the guys who are on the bubble. E.g. I won't address Kirkpatrick's struggles on special teams, or Bodine's struggles, or Campbell's struggles, or how good Dennard looked. I also won't address guys who did well but have zero shot, like Jasper Collins or Conner Vernon.
Stock Up
Matt Scott (with McCarron headed to PUP or IR, this team will either carry Dalton/Campbell/Scott, or just Dalton/Campbell)
Matt Scott plays his guts out for the Bengals (twice) http://t.co/kyC7ferHBK

Ryan Hewitt
Ryan Hewitt got a lot of of reps in this game, at both TE and FB. I barely saw Orson Charles at all
— Brennen Warner (@JustBeWarned) August 8, 2014
TE/H-back Ryan Hewitt with a nice catch. He's one of the players I'm watching tonight. Already had decent blocks.Still think he makes roster
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2014
Ryan Hewitt with the third-down conversion. Nice play for him, showing off versatility.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) August 8, 2014
Ryan Hewitt going to get a long look at H-Back, good block to spring Gio
— Richard Skinner (@nkyskinner) August 8, 2014
Cedric Peerman
Cedric Peerman is the Adrian Peterson of the preseason year in and year out

Rex Burkhead
Still three games to go after this one, but Rex Burkhead is showing why this RB battle isn't going to be easy to determine.

James Wright
Matty Ice lives for the 4th quarter! James Wright beautiful catch and Matt Scott has his first TD pass of the preseason! @mscottqb10
— Matty Ice Squad (@MattyIceSquad) August 8, 2014
Touchdown #Bengals ! Matt Scott pretty fade to James Wright, who made a great catch in coverage...
— Anthony Cosenza (@CJAnthonyCUI) August 8, 2014
Brandon Tate
Brandon Tate with a heck of a move on CB Ron Parker to break open for the TD. Left him grasping for the facemask.

Dane Sanzenbacher
How about Dane Sanzenbacher's 26 yd touchdown catch for the Bengals last night??? #Representing #ToledoBoy #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/iiA4GaTgy2
— Michael Doty Sr (@MdotySr) August 8, 2014
(Sanzenbacher did well on kickoffs, too)
Tanner Hawkinson
Tanner Hawkinson has played LT and RT. Has looked good.
— Cold Takes (@JoeGoodberry) August 8, 2014
Trey Hopkins
Trey Hopkins with a good lead block there for Jeremy Hill. Good patience by Hill on the run too.
— Cody Tewmey (@codiki) August 8, 2014
I'm really excited to watch Bengals UDFA Trey Hopkins tonight. He has the athleticism they're lacking and has taken 1st team reps at LG.
— Cold Takes (@JoeGoodberry) August 7, 2014
Trevor Robinson
Trevor Robinson with the second level pancake
— Cold Takes (@JoeGoodberry) August 8, 2014
Robert Geathers
Robert Geathers forces Alex Smith fumble. #Bengals ball in the redzone again. via @FOX19Jeremy

Dontay Moch
Dontay Moch knocks the ball loose! Recovered by David King, #Bengals ball on their own 25.
— Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) August 8, 2014
Might have to call Dontay Moch Mr. Preseason. Now 7.5 sacks in last nine preseason games.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) August 8, 2014
Christo Bilukidi
Solid @NFL night for #PantherFamily!!! Sack, QB hit for Bilukidi; 65-yd KOret for Wilson all in one game. Box score: http://t.co/5QFvr3XuWE
— GSU Athletics (@GSUPanthers) August 8, 2014
Marquis Flowers
Also, in that Bengals game, Marquis Flowers had three tackles, by the way.
— Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) August 8, 2014
Stock Down
Orson Charles
Orson Charles play at all today? I've seen Hewitt
— Cold Takes (@JoeGoodberry) August 8, 2014
BenJarvus Green-Ellis
That sack by Mays is on Green-Ellis. RG even chipped him before he got through. That should've been an easy pickup for BJGE.
— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) August 8, 2014
Cobi Hamilton
Sean Smith HIGH STEPS into the end zone after an INT. Touchdown, Kansas City!!!
— Arrowhead Pride (@ArrowheadPride) August 8, 2014
Sam Montgomery
On Chase Daniel's big third-down scramble and pick-up, Sam Montgomery was completely blown up by his blocker. Pushed way out of play.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2014
Lavelle Westbrooks
It was Dennard's replacement, Lavelle Westbrooks who bit on the double move before the catch in the seam for the long score.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) August 8, 2014
Sean Porter, J.K. Schaffer, Ryan Whalen, etc., who did not play
