They did some one on one battling at camp yesterday and there's video out there and I'll try and find it. But Fries is an ass kicking machine. He completely stymied Allen in one-on-ones. There was also the first fight at camp and Fries was right in the middle of it, as was Tyler Batty, Asamoah, Fries and also JJ McCarthy lol. I guess somebody popped Aaron Jones hard to the ground and that started it. The guys are sick of hitting on each other, they'll be ready for preseason game 1.

Intensity turns up a notch
"This was the fourth practice in full pads and also, without question, the most physical and intense practice of training camp thus far. It got chippy in a way we hadn't seen up to this point. In an early 11-on-11 period, Harrison Phillips threw Walter Rouse to the ground. Jordan Mason, who continues to look really impressive in camp, trucked several defenders on a run up the middle, which led rookie Donovan Jackson to let out a primal scream afterwards.
Later in practice, it went up another level when linebacker Brian Asamoah II popped Aaron Jones after a play. Asamoah went to offer Jones a hand, but guard Will Fries took exception to the initial hit and shoved Asamoah pretty hard. In return, Asamoah threw a punch at Fries. On the very next play, rookie Tyler Batty got through the line of scrimmage untouched and leveled Jones in the backfield. That set things off again. McCarthy got in the mix with a bit of a shove on Batty, and players from both the offense and defense came together and jawed at each other."
