I agree.
We need to manufacture more ways to win games.
Our current winning formula is to pass the ball and create turnovers on defense. That is how we win games.
The Ravens win games with defense, with their running game, and with their passing game. They are able to win a lot of different types of games. The Bengals coaches need to learn from them.
We need to invest more in our defense and running game. If we can push these two areas close to elite, we will be a much more balanced team, capable of winning a lot of different ways, and capable of blowing out opponents. The best offenses in the NFL are balanced on offense and keep the defense guessing. Our offense is very predictable that we are going to pass the ball most of the time and it makes it harder on the players to create space.
Football is often won in the trenches. We can continue to draft wide receivers and skill players high in the draft that we have no ability to re-sign because of Burrow and Chase, or we can use these picks on elite players that can make us a more complete team. We tried going WR heavy on offense and we were successful, but with all that talent Burrow didn't even sniff an MVP. The team would be much better if we had an elite oline and running game. It would be easier to create openings for our receivers if the defense was afraid of our rushing attack.
I'd like to see us add an elite corner and/or dlineman in the draft and continue to develop the oline.
Zac is beating a dead horse with this passing attack right now with a QB that is on the edge of whether he is capable of even being a backup QB in the NFL. Develop the running game and defense and we'll win more games down the stretch.
The team needs more balance and it's what holds our offene back from being elite with Burrow. The play calling and design is not good enough. If you look back to 2015, that offense was elite because of the balanced approach. Dalton could have been in the MVP conversation if not for his injury. With the talent we had the past couple years the offense under-performed. Burrow would have won an MVP with better coaching and a more balanced game plan. This 75% pass split is harder on the players because the defense knows what to expect. There is less space for the players to find openings down the field. There is more pressure on the oline because the dline knows whats coming and can focus on attacking. There is more pressure on the QB and a higher likelihood that he will get injured. It's just dumb football and maneagement needs to learn the lesson soon.
