The Bengals used motion last week at times the way that Miami does. They actually had some good play designs at times, but no one wants to give them credit.
The first one below is a play that they reversed what they did against Cleveland in week 1 (gave the ball to Chase). Instead they faked to chase and went to Mixon for a chunk play. They were banking on the Ravens watching the week 1 tape, saw Chase in the backfield, and counted on the ball going to him.
This is another play where they use Irv in pre snap motion. First to tell man/zone, then use him in full sprint motion up until the ball is snapped to give him a head start and advantage against his defender to pick up the first:
I actually said that our motion is used as a tell in my initial comment.
I actually mentioned the Mixon play in my initial comment as well.
And yes they did use Irv like Miami uses Hill. Good catch by you. Be great if we would use our speedster in the same manner.
