Hey now, He's an all-star.

Looks like we're going to test the limits of that new helmet rule, by re-emphasizing the power rushing attack.
I like that in a coach.

BRING BACK THE FULLBACKS TO OUR TEAM. The extinct position of the NFL.

Seems this whole new group of coaches are looking to make the team a more aggressive one. Here's to hoping it's not all talk.....

Hewitt has mostly been a positive when on the field.
opening holes or Catching passes... Want to see more of him. Was surprised he wasn't used more to help get a run game going last year.

Liking this, we always seem to run the ball better when Hewitt is on the field. He has that want to hit the Defender
attitude that some players lack. Really like Hewitt and i think since we paid him he has been under utilized.

Didn't he get bogged down with some nagging type injuries that limited his effectiveness/playing time last year?

That is what I thought. I know he was battling something going into the season then got hurt against I believe it was the first Browns game.

I'll start believing all this hype come September when the games are actually played.
RE: Lazor bringing back a little smashmouth? - grampahol - 06-07-2018
His spot was probably also taken by whoever was responsible for shoring up the wonderful o-line last year...that mythical 6th offensive lineman..

What's hype about saying you're going to use the FB more?
RE: Lazor bringing back a little smashmouth? - Bilbo Saggins - 06-08-2018
FBs are manly. Only MANLY men play fullback in the NFL.
RE: Lazor bringing back a little smashmouth? - HarleyDog - 06-08-2018
This is good stuff. Hewitt is a great athlete with a good attitude and a purpose and Lazor getting him involved will make this offense better.

Don't be silly, being a bengal fan, the hype is most enjoyed and relished throughout until game 1. Then we go from hype to reality mode in 3 hours.

I hear ya. I'm optimistic and things absolutely HAVE to be better after last year, but I also have to admit that if Steelers/Browns/Ravens fans were getting pumped about retaining their OC of the 32nd ranked offense we'd be laughing our arses off.

I think the reality you're talking about happens in the first 15 minutes.

As Wyche asked, where is the hype? We always ran the ball better with a healthy Hewitt on the field.
It is what happened.

It will take some time for the new coaches and players to gel. To think otherwise is silly honestly.
Replacing Zamp with Lazor and PA with Pollack sure is sounding like upgrades to me though.

Lazor inherited Zamp's shitty ass frankenstein playbook during a season where he had the worst O-line in football.
Kind of hard for me to judge the man being put into that situation.
