BTW, we don't know who is calling the plays, sometimes it looks like it is Callahan, sometimes Zac and on runs it can be Pollack
or the analytics dude. We don't know who to give props to honestly. Think they all work together including Burrow.
The run opening up the pass is conventional logic that doesn’t really hold true. There is no correlation between run game success and passing game success. I’m not saying go balls to the walls and throw ever play because that doesn’t work, either. You’ll just let defenses pin their ears back on you.
You do, generally, want to be passing more than you run because passing is objectively better. Especially when you have a stinky run game (Bengals) and an elite passing game (Bengals).
