Against Pitt and Minnesota they appeared to be asking him to do more of what Burrow does which is just drop back and read the play and go. Which he struggles to read the safeties so he can make bad reads if the safeties change looks after the snap. So he missed more throws in those two games that I saw, Chase for instance had 2 hand up I'm open touchdowns that he missed one of those was from the Minnesota 20 yd line on the very 1st drive. I believe it was on his pick they either showed cover 2 or switched to it meaning middle of the field open. Browning didn't see it and threw it to the boundary for a pick meanwhile Higgins was running literally all alone across the middle. Maybe the game is a bit fast for him right now or maybe he's just trying to get to a safe throw as fast as possible but he is missing either big plays or where the ball should go based on coverage. Goodberrys Bengals on the Brain is an excellent breakdown that you can find on Twitter or youtube.
