Upgrade OL and add Patrick Ricard at FB.
I would bet our chances improve on 4th and 1 running the ball. He also would be great in pass protection too over a TE trying to block a DL.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Yeah, you don't have to go very far in just about any game to see him getting rag-dolled.

If you disagree then tell me which way he cut, left or right?
At the snap, his right foot comes back and to the right. He runs straight ahead AFTER THAT, but he wouldn't have stepped back and to the side if Burrow had been under center.
That delays him getting the handoff and getting to the line, which cost him getting the first.
PLEASE TRY AND REFUTE THAT.

That is a fact you can not refute. We have posted the actual stats and facts to prove it.
We care about reality more than your opinion.
How does that make any sense? Hitting the line harder and faster gives him more of a chance to gain yards? You're trying so hard to be right that you post things like that that make no sense and hope we're all just too confused to argue it.

Are you talking about the Mixon play the faulk posted? If so, Burrow is under center.

I got mixed up but it doesn't take away from the fact that Mixon side-stepped and didn't run straight at the line, which is what we're talking about.
Way to try and avoid the point.

Wrong. He didn't side step. That's what you do.

It doesn't matter if that's what you do because he did it.
You just contradicted yourself.
This is why you can't be taken seriously anymore in this debate.

So, you were wrong about what you said, which you demanded to be refuted in bold. However, this makes you more correct. Am I following? Lol. That's just how Mixon does his up the gut runs, Brad. Most running backs do this. Here is a still from the same game.
Here is the run from earlier, which you are arguing.
Here is a random run from the Chiefs game.
RBs don't just immediately sprint forward. Running plays have timing involved with them and they also have to get some width on their angle in order to receive the ball. They step out, and then go forward. They have to work within the timing of the play.

Yes they can just start sprinting forward or take a step angled at the line, not side stepped or stutter.
You're wrong.

Don't even take my word for it. Here is Henry doing it.
And another.
I think you are likely thinking of zone runs in comparison to BoB runs, which is what these are. Each individual running play has timing built into it, and this calls for different techniques. If it is a zone run, then yes, they can take an angled approach and get up to speed, like this.
Note that despite Mixon being angled towards the outside, this run goes A gap on the right side because Mixon cuts back. Generally, when a team runs directly up the middle, they are running BoB. This means that the running back is taking that false step. Here is a random run from the Rams, showing that false step as well.
The run blocking scheme that is being discussed here has the RB taking a false step for angle and timing purposes.

Regardless, the quarterback being under center meant that they didn't have to pause a split second to get the ball and hit the hole faster and with more power.

I know I said I was out of this but I've had a few beers tonight. So I will say this and it isn't directed at any one person. It's okay to admit you are wrong even after debating endlessly. In fact it is my opinion it makes one a better person when they can say, "You know I've had my thoughts and opinions on this that I have defended as best as possible but it seems with the evidence provided I am incorrect." I know from countless times in my life of being wrong it is a very uncomfortable feeling so I understand it makes it hard to admit to. But it gets easier the more times it is practiced, makes having discussions with others easier, and relieves a lot of stress. Food for thought.

Running from the shotgun in short yardage is what works.
Stats and reality prove this.

Go back and look at my post. I am talking about the play where Burrow is under center and Nixon still gets stuffed.

He admits that he was trying to be cute and "steal one" instead of going with what works and just pounding it home. He thought he could steal one when the defense would obviously be near the line and they have a guy like Aaron Donald.

This is very, VERY FUN because I make a post of the coach admitting that he was just trying to "steal one" in a situation where "stealing one" wouldn't work because the defense was expecting run and you still argue that it was the right call!
Ladies and gentleman, Fred claims that he is a better coach that Taylor!

Could you kindly ask him who this "we're" is, he's speaking of? There's one guy on his side of the argument and his name is BFritz21.

Somebody quote my last post and point out that even Taylor said he "was trying to steal one" instead of just hammer it home because that destroys his and Fred's 11 page arguments.
