The defensive line is second to last against the run in almost every metric, second to last in sacks and dead last in forced fumbles. Your DB's get smoked in the red zone giving up the most passing TD's of any team. To be honest I think your inability to stop the run is masking the deficiencies in your secondary but those same deficiencies are exposed in the red zone.
Offensively your offensive line is one of the worst in football talent wise. The run blocking is abysmal and the pass blocking is suspect giving up the second most sacks on the season.
Zac Taylor's play calling sucked at the beginning of the year, but in the last few weeks I have found it to be way more creative tying together the run game and pass game very well using formations. I thought the guy sucked to start the year looking very predictable but now, I think he has gotten it together and starting to put together an offense.
You have to have talent to succeed in the NFL, and right now you guys look to be 2 seasons away from fixing all of your problems. But the good news is you have a franchise QB and an innovative offensive coach, which is 9/10ths of the puzzle in today's NFL.
Biggest mistake on the year in my opinion was not moving vets during the trade deadline to stack up draft picks and go younger. AJ Green and Geno Atkins needed to be moved.
Question: Which of the following teams had more talent the last two seasons, Bengals or Dolphins?
