Bengals Under-rated?

I am not a big Marv guy, either.  He supposedly lets the coaches coach, but his one greatest weakness is clock management and knowing when to challenge.  A close second is being too damn conservative, but I hope that continues to progress with a developing offensive line and a new coach.  

I will say, however, that looking back, having Marv this season is probably a good thing to keep stability in the organization and give him one last chance to see what he can do with an offensive line. 

My hopes for Marv and the Bengals are pretty simple:

On offense, I hope they are more attacking, with a power rushing attack.  I want them to throw a 30 burger at teams, and a 40 burger at shitty teams.  Attack.  Don't play clock games, don't run in to a pile and basically offer the ball back on downs, and spread the ball around to get all of your weapons involved.

On defense, I hope they can generate pressure with their front four (the key being a solid rotation of players) and generate some big plays in the turnover department.  Blitz on occasion, and don't have it always be from a LB.  Use your safeties and CBs on blitz looks at times.  Avoid predictable packages and contest every pass in the air.  No gimmies.
