Since week five, Cincinnati has averaged 4.58 yards per carry when they hand off to one of their backs. Now, the Carolina game is a major outlier and is really boosting those numbers up. Outside of the Carolina game, Cincinnati is averaging 4.14 yards per carry which is a much more indicative number of Cincinnati's abilities.
Okay, I lacked the time to separate out the carriers.
Long, ball control drives, whether it is running or passing, should work. Last week against the Patriots, the offense came a little unglued in the second half, so it would be wise to avoid that, ha ha.
According to the long-range forecasts, it's supposed to be mid-50s with slight wind on Monday. It doesn't get much better than that in January!

That's a point i was going to bring up after one of your earlier posts about marrying the pass and run games.
Zac has taken a lot of heat for his "shortcomings" as a play caller and OC. It seems, this year at least, that they are experimenting and adapting seemingly game by game to get to a point where the offense is becoming unpredictable and deadly. This of course has a lot to do with Burrow and his abilities but there seems to be a definite willingness to change and try different things. That kind of flies in the face of what a lot of people believed about Zac.
It's good to see.

Deciding to run the ball down the Bills throat a week after losing your best run blocking offensive lineman on an already bad run blocking offensive line is a bold strategy.
IMO I think beating the Bills is going to come down to this defense and field position. Basically, our defense generating and helping our offense like they did against the Bucs. I can't see our offense doing a ton against them.
The defense needs to turn the turnover liable Josh Allen over a couple of times.

I only see Adeniji being a liability in this game. I think the o-line will do just fine in terms of pass protection.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Thanks for the links and for pointing me in the right direction.
There is a bit of irony here, you folks jump all over me for using PFF.com stats and tell me PFF.com isn't for "Jack Shit." THEN, y'all turn around and point me right back to PFF.com You folks are a tough crowd!

PFF is fantastic for their data aggregation. It is their bread and butter. Their grades aren't worth much.

PFF statistics department is second to none. Now the player grades... well we don't need to get into that.

and yes, Allen will turn it over at least twice
Apparently he’s a better pass protector than Collins. I dont think that is true. If Collins gives up 10 pressures and Burrow is sacked on 3 does that really make Adeniji better just because he gave up the same 10 pressures but Burrow just got it out quickly? Of course no. That’s makes them both subpar and bailed out by Burrow.

The only thing Adeniji has on Collins is his ability to move better. He's more athletic but he's much smaller and not nearly as powerful and strong. I wouldn't say he's a better pass blocker.

Adeniji is a quick finesse guy. Collins always gets beat with speed
The guy Adeniji will be facing is a strong bull rusher type of edge rusher. So that’s a bad match up for adeniji

If not Adeniji then who? There was an idea on here about bumping Karras to RG and Cappa to RT, so that means Trey Hill goes to Center. Which I don't think is a good idea, b/c I'm not a fan of changing Centers unless you absolutely have to do it.
Then it was suggested, Cappa go to RT and Scharping goes to RG. We have a few options of moving guys around if Adenji cannot get the job done. Who would you move and where?

Sounds like Isiah Prince will be starting over Adeniji on Sunday. Burrow kind of spilled the beans today.
