Why are we not using the middle of the field?

Chase said in the post game interview that they were doubling him and Boyd, leaving Tee 1:1. Boyd usually operates in the middle. That really only leaves the TE's (really just CJ) in this area. As many have stated, no one is scared of Sample. I have no idea where CJ was yesterday. Only 2 targets for 2 catches, 16 yards.

And Uzomah still did better than Sample, who had double the targets but still only 2 catches for a whopping 9 yards (3 yards and 6 yards). Dude may make some catches here and there, but they are on such short routes. It also didn't help that the OL (primarily Carman) had a bad day blocking.

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!

QB locking onto to Chase too much possibly or defenses taking Boyd out of equation ?

On Chase's spectacular 3rd and 2 conversion for 21 yards, there was a WR strolling, WIDE OPEN, over the middle of the field that would have yielded an easy 3rd down conversion. Chase still caught the ball, which makes it okay, but that was an unnecessarily risky throw by Joe given the circumstance and that may be what's going on over the middle for this offense. Given that Zac calls plays that his QB likes (which makes sense), I could see an argument that the plays called may emphasize those outside routes as read 1 and 2 with the over the middle routes maybe prioritized as read 3 or 4.

I am almost positive that is where at least 2 drops happened. Unless my memory is tricking me, that's where Chase had his 1 drop and at least 1 of Higgins drops were. ____________________________________________________________

See, I don't happen to believe that's true at all. If the only deep routes is a distraction route then he's got no where to go but shallow. It's ZT's offense. If he wanted more mid-range routes and throws we'd be seeing them.

I trust Burrow to find the open Receiver, I guess they weren't open in the middle of the field.
Would of thought Boyd could of feasted in this game but evidently he couldn't get open and we didn't use Evans like I thought we would. I am going to watch the game now instead of assuming shit. I like that even though we only scored 22 points we went to overtime and could have won numerous times against a top team and one of the greatest QB's in NFL history. Gonna watch the game now and enjoy Columbus Day drinking some brewskies.
