Every year that Burrow has been our QB and Taylor calling plays, it has been extremely gun-heavy. Please, point me in the direction of the coaches talking about Burrow being under center more. I've googled, and absolutely nothing comes up.
“I think we’re gonna dictate that [tempo] a little more this year. I’m excited about the pressure we’re going to put on defenses with our style of offense this year, I think it’ll be exciting to watch. I think with the personnel that we have this year, we will be able to do a lot more with personnel groupings, putting different people in different spots in and doing a lot of different things as far as eye candy and making teams adjust their personnel based on ours,”
Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher isn’t fully buying into the chatter that the offense will look wildly different next season. Pitcher says the level of changes might be overstated.
Our core offense is our core offense. We're going to do what we do," Burrow said.
You seem to have hope that the offense goes in that direction, but again, based on our history with Burrow + Taylor and lack of evidence in that change from coaches/Burrow interviews, I'm not sure I'm buying that.
We had a thread on here and I am pretty sure it was Pitcher our OC specifically saying that we need to have Burrow under Center more
and that playing 100% in the Shotgun early last year was BECAUSE of his calf injury. He couldn't play under Center, hand the ball off in
the running game or turn his back to the Defense.
Cool if you don't buy it, but I have hope that we run plays with Burrow under Center much more since he should be healthy and it helps
the OL and the Offense as a whole in being unpredictable.
