There is this stupid narrative that the Bengals start slow. There is some truth to it, but 80% of it is rooted in OFF THE FIELD issues. Burrow dealing with some kind of injury EVERY camp/off-season. Contract related issues, etc. That's the reason they haven't been "full speed".
Remember the Cleveland game when it was pouring down rain and Burrow couldn't even move? Preseason wasn't fixing that.
Steelers game when he was down 30 pounds and and dogging it because of an apendectomy? Preseason wasn't fixing that.
Pats game last year when he was still figuring out his wrist, and he even played in preseason...didn't fix it.
The majority of it isn't preperation related/football things. Playing them in meaningless games, risking the bigger picture, to try and solve a problem that doesn't exist is just dumb.
I think it’s two fold. Burrow was rusty and Zac was protecting him too. There’s no getting around the slow starts. Has to change
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.
