Let's talk about the Cincinnati Bengals (AFC Championship Edition)

[The Franchise]

I’m not so sure I want them playing a bunch of zone anyways. That’s where all of the miscommunication on the backend came from against the Bills.

Yep. The answer is probably to play 2 deep man and jam the WR's at the line hoping to disrupt their timing.

The safeties will have to be sound otherwise they're going to get past us a few times and hit on big plays.

Use some disguised blitzes and fake pressure a lot. Try to confuse him without taking a bunch of guys out of coverage. Let the DL do most of the work most of the time.

This.

Make them do what everyone wants us to do. Take away big plays and make them finish 10-12 play drives without getting Burrow killed.
