”When you prepare, there is confidence that comes with that,” Taylor said. “... We’ve geared our practices to get us to this point in December to be healthy, to hit our peak at the most critical moment. I think that’s how our team feels right now. We don’t need to do anything extra. We don’t need to feel any pressure.”
Most notably the second sentence. These slow starts are a huge double edged sword because while you limit injury risks in meaningless football games (preseason) you are putting yourself well behind the 8 ball from being the top conference in the AFC. That said, they just might not care that much about home field throughout. Not at the risk of injuries and not winning the division.
I don’t know.
Double edged sword definitely. I love Zac but the OL wasn’t sharp whether Joe had a calf injury or not. Last year they didn’t have continuity but no excuses this year. I’m okay with the first few games because of continuity for the offense. But this was the second year for the OL with only OBJ Jr new. They should have been better.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
