Does ANY member of our offensive coaching staff understand you have to get the ball out and get it out quickly or is it just Allen who doesn't get it?

Because we can only run go routes and jet sweeps with Harty ............ it's in his contract I think.

I think he had 3 targets and 2 catches on the first drive. Guess what drive we scored the TD on?

Kincaid and Shakir should be carving these guys up but Allen starts every read 10 yards down the field and only goes deeper after that. Worse yet, the first drive proves he understands taking the easy stuff he just can't do it unless it's scripted or something.

Now if we get the damn ball back can someone tell Dorsey and Allen to make the quick throws and take the easy stuff long enough to get a drive going.

I like Joseph already

Instead of taking the short easy stuff there's Allen making the wrong choice again.

Short answer ............ no

I know why can't we just shut them down like the 49ers did ...................... wait ............. nevermind.

Burrow hits that back foot and the ball is gone. 8 to 10 yards every play.

I used to not notice Josh wouldn't take any of the underneath stuff because he would hold it for 5 seconds and then run for 10 yards. Now that he isn't running it he's just eating sacks and taking hits in the pocket and leaving us in 3rd and long or ending drives.

You have to have quick passing until the pass rush tires out a little. Holding the ball for 5 seconds is not going to work against the Bengals.

We did let Miami score a couple before we clamped down on defense hopefully we are tightening the screws on the next drive for Cinci.

unfortunately in zone it just takes one guy. Benford was off on the TE on 3rd and 2. Hyde was beat on a crosser then Jackson (right after they got done talking him up) then they made 2 good plays and Mixon ran it in. McDermott with be play chess all night. We blitz to stop the run and keep Burrow from getting comfortable and he picks us apart and then we play coverage and he hands it off to Mixon. He needs to get ahead of the sticks and stop them on first a few times.

Our front 4 are doing the job. We need some coverage.

We've got pretty consistent heat. We need some coverage.

Burrow is NOT going to sit in the pocket tonight. McDermott is sending it tonight.

The called a RTP in the Eagles Cowboys game when the QB was tackled with the ball (no after he threw). So it was actually a sack and they took it off the board because the guy didn't land far enough to the side or something.

Settle .................... I've didn't even know he knew where the backfield was.

Just like when the officer asks if you know how fast you were going yo always say no.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

WTF he was telling he wr who to block. The refs suck

Well now that the defense and special teams have the Bengals feeling like a miliion bucks hopefully Allen and the offense can bring them down a notch.

Definitely not the same game plan. We're blitzing and giving up quick passes and last year we were sitting back and getting killed in zone with no pass rush

McDermott isn't going to sit back in coverage. Problem is we a leaving guys open early and often.
