"Should have walked it in." - Zac defends the Dalton Draw

[THE PISTONS]

To the people who think he is going to 'learn' from mistakes. He seems to just defend them and double-down:

Zac Taylor said Andy Dalton checked into a QB draw on the fourth-and-2 that was stopped. Said it was the look they wanted against a 5-man box. "Should have walked in."

This guy sucks.

The Bengals have lost 10-consecutive games versus AFC North opponents. Cincinnati hasn’t beaten the Browns since Nov. 26, 2017. The Bengals will see Cleveland again in Week 17 at Paul Brown Stadium.

What an absolute clown. We’re doomed.

He said Andy checked into it. You could also argue he's covering for the QB by justifying him checking into it.

Zac said that was the right think to do several times. Then says We should have walked it in.

It's the play Zac wanted.

Why?

You could argue this... but why?

This is the same guy who yanked him for Thinley.

False it was the run option per defensive look. Honestly I get why Dalton checked to it considering he had no one to throw it too because the lack of WRs forced Boyd on the far hash outside and he had a light box.

This is another shot at the o-line.

Because I like to be fair? Andy was 2 of 8 for 19ish yards, 2 3rd down sacks, and 2 yard run, he checked into, on 4th down in the redzone. I don't care who the play caller is, when your QB can't execute, it is not going to be pretty.

100% this.

If there are 5 men in the box, and there are 5 o-linemen, it indeed should be a complete walk in.  It also means that the wideouts were covered, and we know they can't get separation in the RZ.  I hated the outcome, but I do support the reasoning.

Not with our OL and Dalton should have known that. The OL has lost the one on one battles all year , several years actually.

Reasoning is that our O-Line sucks monkey nuts.

How the hell could it be a shot at our o-line? They blocked great today; especially in the run game.

Yeah, Dalton correctly recognized what the Browns were doing and checked into the play Taylor wanted. It failed.

No one was walking that in.

Bad preparation by the coaches. They correctly saw something in the Browns do, but their play design to defeat it was just plain bad.

I that was the not too thinly veiled point that I picked up on as well. O line didn’t get it blocked up. Whether that’s true or not I have no idea

Zac getting ready for when he has a healthy Cam Newton back there in 2020!

Yeah . . . except on that play. Which is what this thread is about. Just an FYI.

Exactly. It was a stupid play. With that said i'm glad it didn't work because i don't want them to win this season.

The problem is 1st and goal from the 2...they passed and got sacked.

You power that in with Mixon who is having a near career day.
