The defense lined up in base for most of the Tampa game, instead of their "real" base, which is nickel. I would love to see the defense dial up the pressure a bit with the first team defense out there as well. I hope Billings plays with the #1s instead of Pat Sims. Ditto Willis over MJ. And, as you said, I would like to see Burfict only play a few series and then see a lot of Evans. Dude was balling week 1.
Where did I say any of that? You said pass every play, I said mix run and pass and did not stipulate percent being 5 and seven step drops. My point was throwing every down any game is dangerous and more suspect if the OL has not proven it can block 1 deeper drop yet. I want a mixture of run and pass and you want passing every down, that was my concern.
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.
