For me personally It's not so much that it can only be better. It's that w Allen already in place the step(s) backward we may suffer are significantly less likely to be as painful as the progress forward would be gratifying

Wanted to ask Is there a read presnap on defense where LBs can ignore playaction rules or can they just be so confident in their front winning they can stay home in coverage?

Very possible imo We haven't had a productive run game in 5years

Been that way for years

Again if you want to say McDaniel schemes around their guys better I am in total agreement, I love the way their offense works I'm just saying I believe we oversell our talent on that side of the ball

cook last imo...def behind mostert and achane, he might be as good as pacheco altho i personally do not think so diggs only behind hill te wasteland, kincaid has promise but is a rookie, knox is replacement level wr2 disaster, one of the worst in the league oline is bad bad we have one top8ish WR and that's largely it is the way i see it, very similar construction to KC rn

more things change more they stay the same oline is getting bullied on game tape and frankly Cincy defense is playing way above the rim in terms of scheme and physicality they were up for it and we werent

I don't think we are as creative as some of the teams you listed but those are among the best offensive minds in the league, many w crazy talent available Dorsey and our offense much like Daboll before him is doing a very good job w the resources available imo

believe that's SHakir and this imo is half field read he never looks R

I guess we disagree, we have seen him make this throw before this is when ball leaves his hand, it might be a little tight but it's certainly available

has nothing to do w anything continue flailing

Safety isn't an issue imo he's too deep to effect throw this is at moment of int and hes still 10yards off i agree w einstein this was simply a miss

you clearly do not get it all QBs are inconsistent

there is absolutely nothing to be frustrated about except your own preconceived notions re: Allen

2 things stood out to me at first Big one is just how much faster and physical Bengals dline played vs our oline and vice versa Second was a result of that and one of the reasons we ended up ditching the run and the pass game got disjointed- we could not run block effectively vs that front and it affected MOF reads due to their LBs not being moved AT ALL when we went playaction these are stills from deep throw to Harty when the score was still 14-7, right before INT. at snap after playaction from drop LBs do not play run keys at all despite being in a 4man front w 6blockers in

again thats not what happened

So I am not a McDermott guy at all but I do think a lot of the guys including Allen (probably not Diggs tho) like and respect him, so that's a reason to not fire him. But IMO you are correct that there are fewer reasons not to do it w each passing season. Chief among them for me is the fact that we are looking at dumping a bunch of old contracts and likely doing a reload on both sides of the ball which would seem like the ideal time to get a fresh voice in there.

Our offense is definitely not vanilla, at least not in pass concepts Both Dorsey and Daboll built top offenses here, and both have struggled w inconsistencies that imo stem primarily from a poor offensive line and lack of skill guys. How much of those issues were a result of having a defensive guy at HC are up for debate I suppose

How many different OCs w similar issues do we need to see

Fox/Kubiak is the shining example of why you dump McDermott imo

Lol yeah it was Manning and it wasn't a promotion from within

Pretty sure this is completely wrong

Guys who can really get open know how to stem off and create separation while the ball is in the air Chase did it very nicely on the ball Burrow underthrew a bit

Pretty sure @HoofHeartedcan confirm this is literally an example of making multiple (2) reads deep/shallow based on safety coming down on crosser or not I mean we have seen Allen hit this throw so many times over his career it's ridiculous to say he doesn't see it, it's been in the playbook for 5 years now
