- Put play calling duties on Callahan's plate to let him sink or swim with the eventual plan to be allowing Burrow to go Peyton Manning and call his own plays after this year or next.
- Trade AJ Green for a starting RG (if possible, or someone's 2nd string RG who is obviously better than what is on the current roster)
Long term:
- Remove the defensive coordinator after the season. Promote LB Coach Al Golden to DC.
- I actually don't blame the OL coach for the issues, so Inwould keep him. I actually think he prefers a different blocking scheme. In a podcast over the summer he alluded to the change to his scheme late last year to a power concept (if I recall), which improved the run game immensely. Taylor wanted to run the Rams blocking scheme, so they did for most of the year - and it sucked. Turner finally convinced him to change it late in the season because they don't have the personnel to run that scheme and the results were immediate. When ZT was directly asked if they were still running what they were at the end of last year he replied "It's similar", which is a bullshit answer because it clearly isn't.
Draft OL & DL heavy along with a stretch the field WR or two.
^ That is how I'd fix the Bengals
OL league-wide is thin, No one is trading one worth a crap for AJ, unfortunately. As to the O line, I have serious issues with personnel and the guy who signed off on them (Turner/Tobin or Taylor). Whoever said, "yea re-signing Bobby Hart is a good plan for RT" should pay for what has been a proven disaster.
