I know that a lot of people want to see us blitz more on defense, but that is not a big deal to me.  A 4-3 team needs to get pressure from the front four without blitzing.  Plus, even though we had problems getting pressure on the QB last year dropping 7 into coverage worked well enough to make our pass defense the only elite part of our team.

What I would like to see is the offense throw the ball to our TEs down the field more.  We have drafted some good receiving TEs, but we rarely see them throw the ball more than 5 or 10 yards downfield to our TEs.

Good topic.  It is going to sound decidedly un-sexy, but I would like to see the Bengals offense.....simply check the ball down to a RB.  It seems like putzburg, Indy, and New England are patient and will stay in with maximum protection, wait it out, and if nothing opens up down the field they will check it down to a RB who has no one near him for at least 5 yards.  It frustrates the hell out of me (and I'm sure our defense) when they cover downfield, but a quick checkdown to the RB gets an easy first down.   Simple, effective, and high %./ low risk
