looks like Tee is going to be playing all over the field in order to take advantage of that height mismatch he has on so many DBs. Imagine trying to degense the Bengals when they can play Ja'Marr, Tee, or Gesicki all in the slot depending on the situation

I’ve known several OC’s both in college (OU) and NFL ( no none are meeting me for lunch or on speed dial just minor acquaintances so not pounding my chest here). But it seems they are either married to their scheme or their matchups. Chuck Long was always about winning matchups and Kevin Wilson was more about the scheme. Of course they overlap. But Long was I’m going to Chase on this critical play even if 3 guys are on him. Wilson was more about using his best player as a decoy.
This year we may have the luxury of both more so than ever before. I think this offense provided the staff does their part with creativity and Burrow spreads the ball around more could be NFL special not just Cincy special. Achieving that will depend on Isovias,Burton, and Fant’s performance
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.
