The Rams loved that idea and also adapted it in 2021. In 2021 the Bengals started running heavy shotgun duo and inside zones in the second half of the season. They still did some wide zone in short yardage but they were predominantly a shotgun run team. In 2022 they tried the wide zone again after coming off a superbowl with their shotgun run team it didn't work so they simplified it back down to shotgun duo and inside zones.

Honestly the offense the coaches install every year hasn't really worked and had to be simplified and adjusted mid-season to get results. Thr offensive staff has a very hard time marrying a consistent running offense with their passing offense.

Very much so

I remember early last season it looked like we had two totally different offenses on the field, no chemistry at all with run game to passing. This season it seems the coaches don't even try to install any running into any game plans.
