We have a completely new staff and new systems on both sides of the ball plus a new head coach means a new tone for the team. Let's see how ZT does this before passing any judgment - so far in the first two games he seems much better than what we have had in the recent past.

(08-18-2019, 01:58 AM)Joelist Wrote: The penalties are worrisome yes. But the reaction to them has been utterly unlike what we used to see. Add in that we are actually seeing specific issues called out by ZT then seeing them acted on (like him calling out the defense for lack of aggressiveness and the next outing the defense was not tentative anymore).

In reality, AD and Ross have a slight time advantage working together for 2 years while AB + Carr and Bechham and Mayfield have zero time together working on routes as of now. That was point.

(08-18-2019, 04:46 PM)Joelist Wrote: I would say the latest presser was very interesting (really none of the ones under the prior regime were). ZT broke down the Skins game in some detail, showing they are actually tracking on a per play basis how many players did their assignment correctly, how many did not and so on. He cited numbers showing that the skins game showed they radically improved on doing the plays correctly. 

He then addressed the penalties and again it was not general platitudes. He noted that holding calls this preseason have skyrocketed across the league and then also stated what the Bengals need to do to cut it down (specifically he said they need to keep their hands inside the framework of the defender). 

All in all nice presser. So far it is refreshing not to get giggles and vague statements.

So you are saying week #1 Beckham and AB tear it up as the do normally? I will take that bet and since you guarantee it, I should get 10 to 1 odds.
