He'd have racked up insane stats if the Bengals were as pass-heavy as we are in the Taylor era. The Bengals already have 335 completions on 490 pass attempts in '24 after having 420 completions on 615 attempts in '23. For comparison in '15 for the entire season they had 334 completions on 505 attempts.

They ran the ball 467 times in '15 and so far this year we've run 283 times.

Goal line and punching it in. He is a small back that goes down pretty easily. His acceleration and speed are by far his best tools where he is 
dangerous. Just wish we had good IOL to truly see his talent. I would be using Herbert more on the short yardage plays. He is thicker and has
better vision than CB.

With 4-9 yards to go he has 27 rushes for 79 yards (2.9ypc) and just 4 first downs.
(31 for 88 at 2.8ypc and just 4 first downs if you look career)

Chase Brown is a good player for us and I really like how he improved so much catching the ball out of the backfield this year.

Ps. Anyone see where Mixon is behind a solid Oline?

I'd be on the field and on the phone demanding the refs be fined or fired or both. I would run onto the field( or use my scooter in Mike's case): screw the rules or any fine the NFL may want to hand out.  This is incredibly dangerous, and when not called especially against such a great QB as Burrow.  My goodness when I saw that I could not believe it.  

Burrow is a player and not a winer but the owner, coach or someone on the Bengals side needs to get up into the refs face and screw the consequences.

Used to love watching Billy Martin when he coached for the Yankees:  he would let the umps know he was present and was watching.  We need some fire from somewhere

STILL feel like they can use him much more in space

Little screens, etc.
