It is an excellent article.
The main point - you need to do short passes on first and second down to stay out of third and long against the Steelers zone defense and blitz packages.
How many of us on this board have been saying this for years.
Why does Marvin always run on first and often times second down, gain little if any yards with our awful run blocking against 3-4 defenses, and put Dalton in a third and long against the Steelers.
They also criticize the Bengals for getting a lead and then playing itsafe.
Again- how many people on this board and the old board have banged their heads for years making this same criticism of Marvin.
Learning requires that one realize that he doesn't know it all already. Sadly I don't think Mikey has a clue. Marv isn't much better, if at all.
