In 2021 Defensive Coordinators attacked Joe Burrow like they do every young QB with little starting experience they threw their entire blitz package at him which created more 1 on 1 opportunities for Chase outside.
In 2022 Defensive Coordinators changed it up and strategically blitzed while playing alot more cover 2 shading Chase. They were taking away those big plays and forcing Burrow to drop read and take every yard rhe defense gives him. The Bengals did a good job moving Chase around to create matchups and get him YAC.
Now the issue with 2022 is that because they seen more cover 2 than any other team in the NFL is that box was light they usually seen 7 or 6 1/2 men in the box. They should have been able to create explosive run plays which would put more guys in the box and giving Chase those 1 on 1 outside matchups again.
All in all if you want to see more downfield long sideline throws the Bengals have to create more explosive plays in the rush offense.
