If Brandon Allen plays very well or shows well in the preseason would you be okay with the Bengals sitting Joe at the start if the season while the O line gels?
To further the question... If you answer YES to the above: If the Bengals go at least 2-2 and looked competitive in the first 4 games with BA under center would you let that lineup play out to see where it went while Joe continues to gain confidence in practice and they continue to sort the line out?
If you were the coach (or Mike Brown).... what would you do in the 2 above scenarios?
No. You let Burrow play, holding him out of game time isn’t going to help his confidence. He has to get hit and realize he can take them. This team this year is not a playoff team, so spend the time getting Burrow back in his groove.
