Like you, I think that it's more a case of the guys on the field getting it together and playing up to what they have shown to be capable of. OL getting a little continuity, Joe scanning his entire array of weapons on any given play, defense hanging tough in the face of injuries.
This staff has seen the cover 2 defense all their lives as players and coaches. They know how to defend it. Now getting a QB who has the patience to attack it is a whole other matter. After the NO game Taylor said the offense bought into the scheme and plan. What he meant was Joe. Joe hates it under center. But we couldn’t run it out of the shotgun. The poor OL play was not helping the run game out of the shotgun. Joe is still learning. He’s not seen a lot of cover 2. Lots of teams are playing this defense. It’s a copy cat league. Did you watch KC/Bills and LAC/Den last night. The big pass plays are tougher. You have to be able to run it on cover 2 w/ deep safeties. You have to have a great short passing game. The Bengals are now all on the same page and more in sync. Joe has more latitude in changing the play than anybody not named Brady. He always wants the big play. Everybody knows that. He’s now resigned teams are going to play them that way. He hates it but he’s bought in now. He wants to win. The staff and Joe are now on the same page.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
