I remember reading on here or somewhere that the Bengals were one of the lowest blitzing teams in the NFL, if not the lowest. Think it was like the game before Austin got canned ?
We rarely fake blitz, there's little to no disguise in our D, nearly no innovation. We just lineup in base 4-3 and say if you out execute us you win, and we don't have the athletes for this.
How much easier is it for opposing Olines to block when they know 1. we're not coming 2. If we do blitz it's plain to see ?
Yeah...I think they try to copy what Zimmer did several years back.
As far as the not blitzing...our LB's are all terrible blitzers. That probably plays into it. I guess we could safety blitz.
