I think we’ve got a better handle on attacking the bengals defense. our biggest issue was we were manufacturing tons of targets for guys like Pacheco and gray. They were daring us to throw to Mvs. If Hollywood is healthy we are in a terrific spot on offense. At worst our floor is to repeat last years solid offensive performance except hopefully this time we close drives.
On defense… Taylor and burrow have a decent pulse on us if we can’t get pressure. If they can slice us with browning they will do it with burrow. Question is if their WRs wil be anywhere near ready. [Reply]

I think Hollywood is back this week
Burrow also won’t be evading pressure with a threat to beat you with his legs when the play breaks down.
You could see several times that our DL beat the OL and immediately had to break down so they didn’t lose contain, which still happened several times regardless.
For all his weaknesses as a QB, Lamar still poses an athletic threat on any given play that few others do. [Reply]
