Looks like we're going to test the limits of that new helmet rule, by re-emphasizing the power rushing attack.

I like that in a coach. ThumbsUp

Seems this whole new group of coaches are looking to make the team a more aggressive one.  Here's to hoping it's not all talk.....

Hewitt has mostly been a positive when on the field.

opening holes or Catching passes... Want to see more of him. Was surprised he wasn't used more to help get a run game going last year.

Liking this, we always seem to run the ball better when Hewitt is on the field. He has that want to hit the Defender
attitude that some players lack. Really like Hewitt and i think since we paid him he has been under utilized.

Didn't he get bogged down with some nagging type injuries that limited his effectiveness/playing time last year?

That is what I thought. I know he was battling something going into the season then got hurt against I believe it was the first Browns game.

I'll start believing all this hype come September when the games are actually played.

His spot was probably also taken by whoever was responsible for shoring up the wonderful o-line last year...that mythical 6th offensive lineman..

What's hype about saying you're going to use the FB more?  Mellow

FBs are manly.  Only MANLY men play fullback in the NFL.

This is good stuff. Hewitt is a great athlete with a good attitude and a purpose and Lazor getting him involved will make this offense better.

Don't be silly, being a bengal fan,  the hype is most enjoyed and relished throughout until game 1. Then we go from hype to reality mode in 3 hours. Tongue

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

I hear ya.  I'm optimistic and things absolutely HAVE to be better after last year, but I also have to admit that if Steelers/Browns/Ravens fans were getting pumped about retaining their OC of the 32nd ranked offense we'd be laughing our arses off.

I think the reality you're talking about happens in the first 15 minutes.

As Wyche asked, where is the hype? We always ran the ball better with a healthy Hewitt on the field.

It is what happened. Mellow

It will take some time for the new coaches and players to gel. To think otherwise is silly honestly.

Replacing Zamp with Lazor and PA with Pollack sure is sounding like upgrades to me though.

Lazor inherited Zamp's shitty ass frankenstein playbook during a season where he had the worst O-line in football.

Kind of hard for me to judge the man being put into that situation.
