Just last year, it was mix of inside/outside zone.

Two years ago when Pollack was brought back, all the talk was about outside zone.

The shift wasn't surprising given the guys they have, but you almost wish they would have just gone with gap scheme to begin with rather than try to be something they're not.

I think there's more to it than just the Bengals the entire league ran more power/gap in 2022 including teams like the 49ers and Browns. The NFL has be drafting to combat the outside zones for 5 or 6 years now getting smaller faster on the DL and at LB so I wouldn't be surprised to see more OC attack the size of defenses more in 2023.
