OC Brian Callahan interview with Locked on Bengals Podcast
#3
Some takeaways:
- Looking for a WR with some speed. Doesn't have to be 4.2 or something that fast, but not be a slow guy.
- Looking for a WR who can play outside and can win 1-on-1.
- Looking for OL who are 310+ lbs, 33+ inch arm length (ideally 34+) from a measurables perspective because of the division. Also looking for intelligence.
- Callahan likes OL who can move people off the ball.
- Team had been running inside zone predominantly in 2020. Hard to run that from shotgun. Wants to run a more varied scheme in 2021.
- Intent to start 2019 was to run a wide zone like Rams did, but it wasn't working. Had to try to adjust.
- Burrow was more comfortable running from shotgun, so team adjusted to fit that comfortability in 2020.
- Frank Pollack is one of the best wide zone teachers out there. Hope and expect Bengals to use more and be better at wide zone with Pollack added. More horizontal displacement in wide zone vs vertical push.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
