The more worrisome aspect is the lack of development & scheme issues. Less glass eating, more athleticism and power. Stop having Sample block Watt & Garrett. Give the OT a bit of help once in a while. Run the ball more. Don't give the play away pre-snap with formation & personnel. Play under center more.
While true, they sure didn't do very well assessing early-round talent in Ogbuehi, Fisher, and Price.
I realize that was mostly a different group though, but I'm just pointing out that even highly-rated guys aren't can't-miss.
Out of the guys you listed, Mims is the riskiest due to lack of playing time, IMO.
If the Bengals don't get a quality RT in FA next week, I'd like to have one of Fuaga, Latham, or Guyton.
I am with you as well that the scheme/playcalling isn't doing any favors.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
