Bengals Jets Game, Game Ball

That's something coming from me, I actually said Zac Taylor may be more cutout to be a used car salesman than NFL head coach at one point this year.

I understand why he felt he had to make the move he did by benching Dalton, but I felt like starting Finley was a mistake.

Most coaches probably don't go back to the guy that they had just benched on their B-day, that would normally end any kind of player/coach relationship you had for good.

He tailored, no pun intended, his offensive play calling a little bit to be more balanced.

He ran Mixon 19 times, for 44 yards and a TD. That was against the 1st ranked rush defense. He ran Mixon just enough to keep the defense honest, as they say.

But there was a time earlier in the year, Zac would of ran Mixon 7 times and had Andy throw it 55 times and got him sacked 6 times.

Which would of wore out our defense and lost us the game.

Andy Dalton threw that ball with as much conviction and zip as I've seen him throw with since 2015, but the O-line gave him time as well.

But it was Zac's decision to admit a mistake and put him back in. So he deserves that game ball, it was well earned.

Most coaches don't do that.

Honestly, I feel like Bengals management made the decision to put Andy in. And I suspect they told Taylor 0-16 and you're fired.

Taylor in a press conference after the game said they were sticking with Finley...and that 3 games isn't enough time to evaluate a QB. Then, the next day...Andy was the starter.

So, I think he would have kept Finley IF it was solely his call.
