If you believe there is no effort by the coaching staff and everything they are doing is wrong, then you need to explain the play of Bates, Wilson, ADG, Burrow, Higgins, J. Williams, and perhaps Carl Lawson.
I see a dramatic difference in effort and results between those players and the ones complaining about playing time. If I have one tremendous concern for the coaching staff is are they good "teachers" of what they want from the players. When I see some of the players taking the coaching and performing and others showing a significant lack of effort (and I include Green in this until Indy), I will take those players to task. Nothing, not one damn thing is more frustrating to me than a lack of effort.
You just listed 1 guy who's rated great (overall, but garbage against the run), 4 mediocre starters, and 2 guys struggling hard.... on a team of 53 people.
Wilson: 40.0
ADG: 45.6 (60th ranked LB)
Lawson: 68.5 (30th ranked ED)
Higgins: 70.2 (50th ranked WR)
Williams: 74.3 (27th ranked T)
Burrow: 74.9 (17th ranked QB)
Bates: 90.0 (1st ranked S, but 54.0 grade/61st ranked S against the run)
There's very few players that are doing particularly well on the Bengals this year. Just like last year. It's just that everyone else is so bad that the mediocre starters look comparatively great.
