Zac has done a great job as a leader though. Building the kinda family culture you love seeing as a fan. Remember in 2019 when we were hearing "We are going to draft and bring in captains and leaders" well we are seeing the fruits of that.

This offseason I dont expect much coaching changes but I hope they bring an offensive consultant that has more experience in the spread air raid that Burrow wants to run. 

I was always a big believer in the window dressing. Lately, i've backed away from it a bit because it's really dependent on if you QB needs or wants it. If Burrow is more comfortable in the simple things like declaring man or zone and doesn't really want all that other stuff and he's able to perform better that way, there's no real reason to do it--even if league-wide statistics say it's more successful. 

I'm not saying it wouldn't be more successful with the Bengals but if your QB simply doesn't want it, why do it?

With the Bengals, it kind of seems that Burrow needs to be talked into it and see that it's more beneficial...which kind of negates my original point (lol), but he's the one taking the snaps and they're winning with what they're doing so, i don't know...   

Beyond all of that stuff, i would just be sooooo much more happy if they didn't run SO many vertical and out routes and mixed in some more crossing and stuff down the middle. They have starting using the backs out of the backfield more, so that's one box checked.
