It's pretty apparent through 2 games that the Bengals offense rolls when they are getting the ball to Chase and flailing when they aren't. Game 1, they do absolutely nothing most of the 1st half until they hit Chase a couple of times to get their first TD drive going and then the bomb to close the half. They do nothing all game long against the Bears, then they hit the deep ball to Chase and they nearly come back to win. The only guy I want to see getting game planned to get the ball more is Ja'Marr Chase. Get Chase going, and everything else opens up.
I don't disagree with needing to continue to get Chase the ball especially on deep throws. But the problem with the defense sitting is we were running everyone short. We run on 1st and 2nd and leave ourselves a 3rd and 4 and run everyone one 6 yd routes. One of the sacks on sunday came on a WR screen to Chase that he forgot the play and just wondered down field and left Burrow no choice but to try and run. So why not use Sample in a screen or Mixon? Or send the receivers deep with one of the TE's underneath.
