Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals Offense Should Lead Team to Playoffs Regardless of Defense

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals Offense Should Lead Team Back to Playoffs Regardless of defense!

Transcript

00:00I expect them to make the playoffs regardless of what the defense does.

00:04And that's going to be this crazy like, oh, what are you talking about, James?

00:09Didn't you watch last year?

00:10The offense wasn't perfect last year.

00:12The offense was flawed last year.

00:14The offense had some Herculean efforts, but there was some flaws, some very obvious flaws,

00:19some things that they could fix, some things that they could clean up,

00:22some things that should be better starting Sunday.

00:24And I expect them to be better on Sunday in Cleveland, even though it's a tough matchup,

00:28even though that pass rush is there, because Joe Burrow had his best training camp that we've seen.

00:35And I mean, he was awesome, consistent day in and day out, and obviously had some

00:39really, really high end, I'm the only guy on the planet that can do this type of practices.

00:45But you have Jamar Chase and you have T. Higgins, and then you have Chase Brown.

00:49And then there's another layer where it's Mike Gesicki and Andre Yosevich.

00:53And then there's another layer where it's Noah Fant.

00:55And who knows, maybe it's Charlie Jones or Mitch Tinsley.

00:58Like there are so many guys that we've seen make plays.

01:03Maybe it's Samadji Pirine or Tosh Brooks.

01:05Look at how many guys I named there.

01:07Like there's so many answers and buttons that Joe Burrow can press and Zach Taylor can go to

01:12in different moments that they should make the playoffs.

01:17Even if the defense is 25th, 28th, they should still make the playoffs because they have one of

01:24the best quarterbacks on the planet, the best receiver on the planet, a pretty solid offensive

01:29line.

01:30We'll talk about the offensive line coming up, but outside of right guard, it feels pretty

01:33good.

01:34Maybe we'll feel differently about Dylan Fairchild after Sunday's game in a bad way.

01:37But as of now, I'm not worried about him.

01:39He's played pretty well.

01:40And if he plays well on Sunday against those dudes, then I'm going to be pretty darn confident

01:44in the rookie moving forward.

01:46Like expectations are so high for this offense.

01:48And I have high expectations for Evan McPherson.

01:51I have high expectations for Ryan Rico and William Wagner and the special teams unit.

01:56I look at it.

01:56It's like, okay, well, yeah, maybe the defense does stink again.

01:59Maybe they just don't have enough talent.

02:00Maybe it just doesn't work.

02:01And even if it doesn't, they should still make the playoffs.

02:04And that's my expectation.

02:05They definitely make the playoffs.
