Who is going to backup Kara’s Cappa if they go down? We saw sharping get man handled and burrow throwing in to the ground how many times. Ford and scharping are good against average. The result will be the same if they face the chiefs and forget about the eagles.
At the end of the day what stopped them from driving down 1 time and taking the Super Bowl 2 years ago or the championship game last year? I mean in both games the defense gave them the ball 4-5 times in the second half of each to go down and end it. Improving defense is great but not the weakness of this team
It was the weakness and fall off in talent between starters and backups on the offensive line and imo that weakness still exists. Drafting another 2 wide receivers for what appears to now me a modified run and shoot offensive philosophy doesn’t work if the quarterback is having to throw the ball into the ground 2 times every set of downs. More utilization of A blocking tight end would help take the pressure off the edges but that’s not part of the run and shoot philosophy I guess
Williams is not injured. Williams was injured but he had corrective surgery. It is possible that Williams is the backup to Carman at RT and or swing tackle. So no the OT was not a wash. They got Orlando Brown Jr. who is far better suited to block for Burrow than he was to block for Mahomes.
The backup to Karras will be either Trey Hill or Ben Brown of whom both can play G or C. That gives depth at G as well as at C.
It could be argued that last season better defense gets the KC offense off the field more efficiently putting the ball in Burrows hand rather than the hand of Mahomes. The Bengals did not fair as well as could be getting to the QB and spelling Hubbard and Hendrickson without losing level of play could go far in correcting this issue.
I like how so many here feel they know better how this offense operates better than the HC and OC know how the offense operates.
