Tigris Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I wouldn't be upset if he left. If we had to choose, I'd much rather keep Zimmer. And we had a playoff party the other day... you have no idea how many times I heard "Mike Zimmerman"... it was killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Alice Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 [quote name='T-Dub' timestamp='1357528394' post='1205734'] This time last year I was worried about it happening. This year, dgaf. [/quote] This. Hue Jackson or Ken Zampese can't possibly call a worse game. The Bengals would be well served to keep the same terminology, but a little less West Coast in this offense wouldn't be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|kennethmw| Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I, for one, would not be happy with losing Gruden right now. Sure, maybe he has had a bad game or maybe even a bad couple of games, but I would rather have the continuity of the offense, at least for next year. Just mho.

|Harley| Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Zimmer doesn't want to be a DC anymore. He wants to be HC but he won't get an offer. He's going to be one frustrated dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] As long as the next OC is hired from within, there's no reason the scheme or terminology need to change. I suppose Hue Jackson would install something completely different, but any of the other coaches (particularly Ken Zampese) have been teaching Jay Gruden's system exclusively for two years.

mongo Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I wonder if the era of high-powered offense has devalued the defensive coordinator as head coach. Right or wrong, the stigma seems to exist that defensive guys can't have good offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly screens, slants and more crossing routes (something Dalton ran a lot of at TCU). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatcat Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I don't know the answer... but I do know what I see and this offense is inept. Be it Gruden or Dalton, dropped passes, wrong routes, not a home run threat at RB, the oline, injuries or they are just young. Point a finger at everyone one of them. Which is concerning because everyone is at fault. Not just one area. The optimist in me wants to see the positives. That they are oh so close. But I also see why some folks are down on Marvin, Gruden, and Dalton. I'm not going to criticize either group. There is legit reasons on each side.

bengals7833 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I said it yesterday on another thread but why do they never throw the back shoulder throw Also why do they never run a draw unless its 3rd and really long and they are just trying to get a couple extra yards to punt Good teams run these plays all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young players make mistakes, and 6 guys started Saturday that aren't even in their primes yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
