Give Andy control.
One thing I have noticed these last two games is the lack of audibles/hot routes/pre snap adjustments made by this offense compared to the past few years.
Under Hue, I felt that Andy had the ability to change the play and get us into favorable situations. Someone posted the other day "Is Andy Dalton Gritty?"... well our game vs Seattle in 2015 proved to me Andy is gritty. Remember when he CHANGED THE PLAY CALL, and ran a long QB sneak that ended up winning the game for us.
Yesterday, third and 1, the only time I can recall Andy changing the play. He changed to a sneaker and got the first down. I felt it was a huge F U to Zampese. Something about the call felt like he had gone against the coaches desires. IDK
I don't feel that Zamp gave Andy any control. A guy who is known for his cerebral ability needs to have that option. I feel like the Bengals have <10 seconds when they get to the line, line up and snap it. There is no hesitation from opposing defenses because of this.
If the QB isn't confident in the calls being made and has no freedom to change the call, he is going to throw with a lack of confidence and will see pressure quicker than it really is there.... sounds like Andy Dalton this season... uncomfortable with the plays being called.
Andy Dalton has been complete garbage the last two games, but I think it is frustration building up from his coaches not utilizing his mental potential. Let him have a say.
