Well, watching Goff...he has a great pocket presence. When the rush comes, he does that think Brady and Manning do/did where they step up a few feet into the pocket which makes the defender miss the sack because of the angle. The Rams also roll Goff out on bootlegs some which changes where the pass rushers are going to.
I'm not seeing that in the Bengals offense.
Our offense seems to be faking a reverse on nearly every play, then either throwing a screen to a TE/RB or having a WR run a 5-7-10 yard route and turn around, or throwing deep, or running inside and getting stopped.
It seems very predictable.
You can copy the Rams playbook, but McVay has a feel for when to do these plays in games so they work. That seems to be missing here.
It's also honestly hard to win games if you can't run the ball.
To be fair to the new offense Dalton has never had good pocket awareness.
