I don’t know if Chase just doesn’t like running routes over the middle or what, but it seems like it’s either fade or go routes and relying on his speed/athleticism to win out, without any thought to how to actually scheme him open. Things were so bad that Dan Hoard said at one point “how is it possible that Chase has one catch for 0 yards at this point?" (He said this on the 3rd quarter).
Justin Jefferson gets doubled teamed all the time yet Minnesota still finds a way to get him open and get him the ball. Taylor is just a poor X and O coach. If Cincinnati had a good offensive coordinator that could call his own plays, this Bengals offense would be much better. Taylor just messes it up.
