One of those calls no one complains about if it works; gets eviscerated if it doesn’t.
What makes me lose my mind is watching him call a double philly cheesesteak reverse-twisting double- tuck, The Scottish Porcupine, Green Eggs 22 left hold the mayo and the Chinese Fire Drill on 4th & goal from the 2.
He’s wrecked this offense. The league did what the league does. It adjusted. Lac Attac did not.
This team has Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Hurst, Mixon, an improved OL and looks utterly dysfunctional 80% of the time.
Let’s talk about Chase for a minute. Truly an elite talent. He’s been a non-factor for most of the season. Look at some of the other elite WRs in the league. Jefferson? Diggs? Kupp? Hill? They’re all huge contributors to their team’s success. Zac can’t find a way to keep Chase involved other than to throw quick outs or completely sell out to laziness and have him run “lol here yo go JC lol” WR sweeps and handoffs.
We don’t get windows of opportunity like this often in Cincinnati. Brown/Blackburn put the money in to do what was needed to improve the team.
Now we need them to have the wherewithal to demand Taylor bring in a competent OC and surrender play calling duties.
If that doesn’t happen, we’re an 8-8 team.
Good post. It’s so frustrating seeing guys like Jefferson go off for 150 yards every damn week. With an improved OL (on paper) Taylor has absolutely no excuse to be this bad. He has two top 5 picks, and 2/3 of that historic LSU offense ffs.
Does anyone think this team is 2-3 with Sean Payton?
