That Jets QB playing in his first game was working faster, and he was the one that had Bengals Defense huffing and puffing trying to keep up. You say Bengals are one of the slowest teams in the NFL, but you say it is nothing. I say it is something and when I can be at home and see what Bengal plays are coming, you know the defense can. Joe Burrow is better in a Fast Offense and it was a waste to draft Burrow and Chase if the 30 year losing Bengals are going to continue to go at Turtle Speed. It Is Something. Bengals are not putting Burrow in the right offense to win if you agree Bengals are one of the slowest offenses in the NFL. Plus again, they telegraph way too many plays to the defense before the ball is snapped by going so slow. Mixon got blown up for one reason only, the play took too long to snap the ball, and Jets were all over Mixon as he took the hand-off.
The Bengals are one of the slowest teams in the league by fractions of a second. The NFL average is 8.5 seconds and the Bengals are slower than that by one second. One second would take them from 29th to 16th, the differences are minuscule.
There’s nothing there. An extra second isn’t the difference between a play being sniffed out vs a success.
