Sometimes we come out looking like we will score every drive, but take a steep drop off directly after.
Our scripted moments are far more successful than the non scripted moments from what I've seen, which makes sense obviously.
How many plays do you guys think are scripted per week?
Would the Bengals offense be better or worse if we focused more on non-scripted action?
I've never played the sport, does anyone have perspective from a player viewpoint?
I Wish Zampese's skills in the scripted moments transferred over... the first drive in the Redskins game was a beauty!
It is a great question that some of us were talking about in another thread but i like that you brought it into its own.
Zamp and even though i have even been critical of him as the QB's coach at times for the pick 6's this is only his 2nd
year as OC. We should give him a chance as this is only Preseason as well and as you and everyone saw that first drive
was a beauty and it seemed we just went vanilla after that.
Just hope this is the case and we keep a lot of that going come the opener against Baltimore.
If it is scripted it just shows how good our players are. I honestly think Dalton should have more control if anything.
A script can be read pretty damn easily.
