The wide zone scheme is perfectly viable offense and is run across the league. Issue is the Bengals are having alot of problems blocking it up.
The naked boot is a big part of the Wide Zone and the Bengals ran it for the first time this year Sunday. Problem is Burrow faked it to the run back and by the time he turned around he had a defender in his face before the TE could cross the face of the guy guarding him. Burrow put it in the dirt.
They went heavy wide zone this week with some play action but the tackles struggled hard and threw off the timing of alot of the plays by forcing Burrow to move and reset.
