What Rams did best, per TV announcers in games such as Saints game is Play Action. Yes they did some shotgun offense and some pocket pass offense. Yes they ran some straight pocket run and passes. Still, under Taylor the Rams strength was they were better at Play Action than most teams. This of course used Gurley as much as a receiver as a runner.
Paul Brown and Bill Walsh use to use the Play Action with 70's Bengals. The 81' Bengals used it.
So I'm not surprised by the players Taylor is bringing in because he will have this team mastering the blocking and plays of Play Action, if he does nothing else. Yes the Bengals will use straight drop back pocket and shotgun pocket as Rams, but like Rams the strength will be in the Play Action. Play Action is Zac Taylor. Zac Taylor is Play Action. If the Power Sweep was Lombardi's strength, the Play Action is Taylor's strength that he will insist Bengals run to perfection.
