Also, after seeing Lazor change up his scheme to give an uptick in the run game, and reading about infighting among the staff over it, do you think he could have been stuck in his ways and arrogant to the point of becoming a detriment? So much has come to light after his dismissal, I'm wondering about your take on all of that.
Honestly, after the failure of Bodine, Fisher, and Ogbuehi I can't really object to the firing of Alexander. I just think the hatred going back for years is unfounded.
Also, I was not aware that the O-line coach called the plays, so I am not sure what you mean by Lazor "changing up the scheme". The bengals play book has always contained different running plays with different blocking schemes. I remember when Kyle Cook was coming back from injury and started over Travis Stephenson. They said the reason they did it was because they could use all of the different blocking schemes with Cook, but were limited with Stephenson. So as I understand it the choice of blocking scheme on a run play has always been up to the OC calling the plays instead of the O-line coach. Where did you hear that Lazor changed the scheme midseason?
