Marvin Lewis coaching hires

What personnel changes came due to injuries besides Green getting hurt?

Ogbuehi was terrible and started 11 games. He was arguably the worst tackle in the NFL. Some may say Nugent lost us games, but so did Ogbuehi. Bodine has showed improvements from game to game. He can be average to below average. But when you have that next to a terrible RT, you bring pressure onto that side.

Also, the play calling was bad. Very bad. It's no coincidence we had the lowest scoring team in the 4th quarter, averaging a mere 3 points a game and averaging only 8 points in the second half. That's not the signs of a good offensive coordinator. There was a ton of head scratching plays.

Do you remember a time during the season where you saw Zampese talking to any of his offensive guys? Including Dalton?

There's zero reason this offense should have been 21st in the red zone. The sad thing is, the team climbed the rankings after the injury to Green. They were one of the worst.

There were a lot of question marks and uninspired play from this offense.

Here's my question. When you think of a Zampese ran offense, what do you think of? What's it's identity? Is it it's own identity? Or is it trying to be someone else's identity, IE: last year's offense under Hue, Gruden's rookie offense, etc.

Because honestly, the offense of 2016 reminds me that of a shell of the 2015 offense. Tried to use what was there before rather than create something new and focus on moving forward rather than staying where they were with someone else.
