Ditto. I watch a lot of the other successful teams and they are so much more creative. Even Indy last night had Baltimore on it's heals. Now they have a better o-line and running game but their passing plays were much more creative.
Of course we have a failed college offensive coordinator calling plays in the NFL.
There is no excuse for the Bengals to have the 24th ranked offense with Burrow, Mixon, Uzo, Chase, Higgins and Boyd at the specialty positions. Our Oline is not the best but it's not that bad either.
And this is not a bash ZT response. I actually think he might make a decent HC as he seems to do other things fairly well. But he needs to rid his ego and understand his weakness as a play caller and step down. Otherwise he may be looking for another job after the season. If word is true and he went into the season on a short leash the Bengals may cut bait as to not waste additional years with this young and developing talent. He might just be sealing his own fate not making a change.
