Bengals News: Taylor Offense Changes, Puts Joe Burrow at Risk

The Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly making a significant change to their offensive strategy, with head coach Zac Taylor exploring more snaps from under center for quarterback Joe Burrow. This marks a notable shift from last season, when the team utilized the formation for a mere 6% of its plays. The coaching staff's goal is to introduce new wrinkles and motion, aiming to keep defenses off balance and generate more explosive plays. However, this strategic pivot has drawn skepticism from analysts, who question its potential impact on Burrow's performance. Statistics from previous seasons suggest Burrow has historically struggled with under-center dropbacks, posting league-low air yards and deep pass percentages.
