Number 1. Zac Taylor is NOT a good play caller and he should give it up to someone else,here is what I saw,He starts the game with Joe Burrow under center and now he has to take a 3-5 step drop to make the play work,when he should have been in the shotgun most of the game as the pass rush was just too much and too fast to be under center.In the shotgun he can see much faster what the defense is going to do and he could have avoided those sacks.Bad move on Zac Taylor.Burrow is much more confortable in the shotgun and can see what the D is doing much quicker.The head coach NEVER made the change until the second half.Bad move.He is going to get this new qb killed and he will not last the season.He took a bunch of unnessary hard hits.
Number 2.Bobby Hart has to go,period!!!!! He was getting blasted all game and Zac Taylor NEVER put a TE up there on the line to help him.Another bad call by the coach.He NEEDED help to stop BOSA and the coach never gave him any.Hart should have never been invited back to camp.He must be gone.
Number 3. Where was T.Higgins,Auden Tate and they hardly used Tyler Boyd, because the qb never had any time to see anything the first half.Where was the high powered offense we heard about all off season??? QB had no time to find his receivers as he was getting blown up all game,again I blame the head coach.No way should he be calling the game and he also just yaks too much.I think he confuses the players.
Number 4. John Ross has to go,he is awlful,dude drops everything and he just does not show me much.He was a draft bust.
Number 5. A.J.Green is not the same player he was before, He cannot get by anyone and yes he is a very good receiver,but not a great one and he seems to get beat a lot. just sayin.
Number 6. IF they play like this Thursday, it will be another loss.And where was D.J.Reader,he did nothing for this Defense but hold his own and the Chargers are not a top 10 team. just what I say sunday folks WHO-DEY I HOPE
The thing I was unhappy about with Taylor is timing between Burrow/Green. It seems like they never practiced. I only saw Burrow going through drills throwing the ball to a standing AJ. Need to have game time situations to get timing down. I also am tired of seeing passes to AJ where he is 2 in from sideline running down the field. Are we that afraid of the safety coming over the top?
On the very first series on third down Joe missed a wide open Tee Higgins coming across the middle underneath the coverage. Never looked at him and instead threw the ball away to Thomas.
I agree about John Ross. You are a professional receiver you only get so many opportunities to stop dropping the ball. We need to depend on you. Hardly ever do I see Boyd drop a ball.
I like DJ reader and the new guys. I also thought Pratt played well.
Please God do not resign AJ Green to a big contract.
