Lou is the best DC in the league IMHO. Not sure Arizona fans are too happy with this Philly guy after watching the Eagles supposedly “great” defense get absolutely torched on Sunday night.

It's not just pre-snap motion. Taylor doesn't use PA nearly as much as he could either, especially with the balance they try to have on offense.

He got better later this year but he's really done Burrow and his o-line no favors playing offense they way they play.

Interesting. I've always just blamed Taylor, after all it's his offense.

If what you're saying is true, then they're purposefully simplifying the offense for Burrow. :-)

I read (from a Bengals fan) that part of the reason was that Gannon could get EB to leave KC. Any percentage of truth to that, to anyone's knowledge?

I think a lot of people think the same way. It's not about simplifying the offense as much as it's Zac bowing to what Burrow prefers. My understanding is the coaching staff has been working him towards more of it. Like i said...i see it more as Burrow hubris just believing he only needs to see how the defense reacts at the snap, in order to create a successful play.

Part of what the Bengals did was, when Burrow was drafted, they sat down and asked him what his favorite plays were from the LSU offense and they integrated that into their scheme. Burrow was comfortable with that and slow to want to change much from it. I think as he gets older and more settled as an NFL QB, he's more willing to change as long as they can see what is being done is best for the offense. The various forms of cover 2 this year forced him to change in the same way Mahomes changed last year.

I've seen several times where former, established QBs talk about how amazed they are at where he is mentally, at such a young age. That's basically his game; pre-snap diagnosis and adjust at the snap when the defense declares. His ability to quickly process and choose the right read is elite.

He is.

When we lost to the Bengals AFC Championship Lou just dialed up a perfect 2nd half.
[Reply]

Who knows. EB has gotten into a shoving match with Kelce on TV and multiple shouting matches with Mahomes on TV. I get the feeling they would prefer to see EB go somewhere else and slide Matt Nagy into the OC spot.
[Reply]

Wow. He will get along GREAT with Murray. :-)
[Reply]

The Bengals were a flash in the pan anyway.
[Reply]

Yep, exactly my thought. If you can’t get along with Mahomes, imagine trying to deal with that entitled dipshit Kyler Murray! Now I think Kyler absolutely needs someone to coach him much harder than Kingsbury did. But EB with Murray has potential for some very ugly stuff. Lol

Sounds like a giant crock of shit
[Reply]

Cobbled together a bunch of castoffs and bargain bin defensive guys and caught lighting in a bottle. That's over now.

I'm sure your enlightened view is correct.
