I just very unsure that the Bengals can be all that they can be using so much shotgun/empty/RPO crap??
That is what is great, they are both young and are learning. We can run the Gun, empty sets and RPO at times, just not the
majority of the time. It is just nice seeing Zac doing this with Jake Browning, it is nice also seeing Joe seeing it be successful.
There was a thread about this maybe being a blessing in disguise with the Burrow injury and it could be just that.
Very good learning experience for both our HC and our Franchise QB for the foreseeable future.

His ass needs to start liking under center lol
We are too scary when we can keep linebackers at bay due to screens and play actions
I feel like Jake hasn’t even been CLOSE to getting sacked these last games.
Iv always liked schemes where it’s 2 reads and run. I always felt the Burrow offense was a bit too hard because it not only demands on time reads but it also demands elite accuracy and demands elite processing of defenses. Every pass doesn’t have to be a tight window pass. You are allowed to have half field reads and plays where there’s only 2 reads. Our issue is every play has 4-5 reads and it puts pressure on Burrow to be elite.
When Burrow gets back we need to call waaaaay more plays where it’s “hey if these2 routes aren’t open just Check down or run.
It makes playing simple. Also WRs tend to run harder on those plays because they know they are getting the ball if they get open.
Keep the RPOs and add more to that.
Continue running
Continue screens to Chase Brown.
Half the pass plays we call should be “no thinking needed” plays, where you read 1-2 guys then throw or run
The variety of plays and most importantly the way they are being executed is just refreshing. It doesn't have to be complicated
and like you said, Burrow doesn't have to be elite in this type of Offense. Just makes everything easier, when Burrow buys into
this I don't know how good this Offense can be with the OL settling in and a guy like Chase Brown in the fold.
In the mean time I hope Browning continues to be successful while our OL gets better and better going into the Postseason.
We need to win out so there is no doubt we make the Playoffs, one game at a time though. The Vikings shouldn't be pushovers
even if I think the Colts and Jaguars are much better teams. Cannot overlook these guys, every game from here on out needs to
be looked at as a Playoff game.
