Also, the Bengals did quick pass routes and didn't drop back...because they know they have a poor line. Maybe that is why the guys are dropping passes.
Then there is the lack of run blocking.
The thing is we only ran well to the right side when we pulled both Boling and Ced. Otherwise the right side of the line (Fisher and Hudson) could not move anyone or create a crease. The pressure mostly came from inside, I think Fisher got beat badly once, but Ced did not get beat badly at all in pass protection tonight. AD did take a 5 yard drop on 3rd and long and hit AJ for the first down.
As far as guys dropping passes, giving a pro receiver any alibi for drops is purr BS and you know it. It is 100% on them to focus and catch the damn ball.
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.
