The defense will play safe zone and give up big plays again all over the field. The lack of run game will haunt and force Zac and Burrow to throw 40 passes a game. Opposing D's will pin their ears back and stampede Joe once they see we can't run on them. This is all with Chase playing. Haven't really changed much, new OC likely running the same plays, new RB1, Stone and Bell in the D, same Oline, same coaches. Looking like another 9-8 maybe 10-7 season to me without a MAJOR injury.
If you don’t think this team is better than 10-7 with their schedule provided good health then we aren’t following the same team. We were 9-8 last year. Joe was 5-2 when he played the entire game healthy. You are right in some of your assessments actually if we are going to get as far as the AFC Championship. We need to run the ball better. The defense needs to step up.
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.
