I always love seeing a confused defense.Gruden was into the double tight ends and then Hue Jackson was into the weird O Lines of the QB behind just 3 linemen and putting linemen out with the WRs...I never saw these plays do much, by the way. I never saw them confuse anybody.....So Gruden runs his stuff in Washington DC and Hue will run his stuff in Cleveland. .....I'll take a guess on Zampese since his dad coached Air Coryell and this Zampese coached Rams Super Bowl of The Greatest Show On Turf of Kurt Warner and all those receivers and Marshall Faulk was called on to run but also be a receiver....The Zampese offense under dad and son is too many receiver options to cover....The dad had James Brooks in San Diego, and this son had Faulk in St Louis. .......LOOK FOR BERNARD, HILL, BURKHEAD or whoever is at RB to be expected to be a RB / WR.....If a RB can not catch, they can not play for Zampese. ....In preseason game 3 we saw pass catches for TD's by both Bernard and Hill. That is Zampese football. Line up with 5 receivers including the RB, and the QB must find and hit the open man, like a basketball game. That is Zampese football. Dalton should never throw into double coverage in this offense, because that means Dalton isn't seeing the open receivers.....Dalton does roll out more than a Fouts or Kurt Warner, and that can be a problem if he rolls right and the open man is far left and Dalton doesn't see him or has to make a dangerous pass across court, or across field I should say. Those are hard pass plays. ...Zampese may not throw a whole new playbook at the team in first game, Gruden and Hue didn't.....IT CAN NO LONGER BE THE GRUDEN OR HUE OFFENSE. Bengals tried to run Wyche offense after he was fired, and it was a disaster. Zampese MUST run his own offense.
I'd like to see us start off with a solid run game that allows us to see our new receivers' potential in action. On defense I'm more worried about our corners than check downs
