The second observation I had was I saw some plays where Jonah Williams had to pick between two players - one coming off the edge the other blitzing the B gap. In HS, I was taught to choose from inside out - there was a RB to pick up the blitz (but failed) but the ‘inside pr’ was the larger defender, not a lb.
ANOTHER observation I had was how much ground our oline gave up immediately on the snap. We have Sample and can pull in another oline (D’Ante Smith?) into the box, wouldn’t it be easier to limit the space players have to move? It just seems forced.
I will politely add any oline issues you can trace back to Jim Turner. I saw the same as you.
I saw a,oline that had issues recognizing defensive fronts
And alot of guessing who to block.
Collectively this group lacked coaching cohesion and
Dare I say aggression.
I cant stand how this offense simply will not
Use motion and shifts occupy the eyes of the
Defense and cause them to overthink their assignments
Hopefully ZT and BC will actually start thinking outside
The box.
The best Bengals offense always had a innovative mind
On the sidelines
