I have a feeling that as long as Zac Taylor is the HC, the Bengals are going to continue to be a soft, finesse team. The OL sits there and watches Burrow take hard shots, get facemasked, and offer no retaliation whatsoever. I guarantee that if an Andrew Whitworth ever saw that, he would have speared the defender in the back and came up swinging. Sometimes you have to show that you're tough and stand behind your leader. We have none of that, and that is a reflection of the tone and mentality of the HC.
