The first drive, I want no rushing attempts at all. I want to see if they can pass protect and spread defenses out with their weapons. It would also be a good test of Mixon to see if he can help pick up the blitz, and/or slide out as a check down.
The second drive, do the complete opposite. Line up with two TEs, a full back, and pound the ball. Every play a rush. This is our running formation, try to stop it. Rotate Mixon and Hill...as I doubt Gio is going to be playing yet. Maybe mix in a reverse to someone like Josh Malone. But run the hell out of the ball.
If the Bengals can do that with success against the #1s from KC, it would be a huge success.
That is interesting you say you wish for no injuries in one sentence and then say you want our OL and rookie tested with our franchise QB under center. I understand you and all of us want to see if our OL can hold up with 5 and 7 step drops, but if they can't we may playing our number 2 QB in the season opener.
I want to see us run a successful offense, mixing the run and the pass. I was our defense to dominate the KC offense like they did our offense in practice twice this week. I want to see guys like Chris Smith and Jordan Evans on the field with the mostly 1st string defense.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
