Spotto Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 This is Zac's team now, there are no excuses for him anymore. There is pretty much nothing left from the ML era in the football department. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Gary Reaasons bill-tweak of Dave Shula on Monday Night Football, before a world audience, was the crowning moment of Bengalsdom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget when Whit threw Chad out of the huddle and told him to go back to the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap pulling on your supposed leader was the motherload of disrespect for Shula.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 The weird thing about Lombardi's obvious news dead period hot taking is that it only holds up if you don't believe in Burrow and Bates. Those are the two clear leaders on the team, and in both cases they have gone to bat hard for ZT. Burrow's comments to Collinsworth on Collinsworth's pod earlier this off-season speak for themselves. Bates has clearly been of a similar mindset. So, the "he's not qualified to be a head coach" thesis/hot take is wrong on its face as neither of those two players go to bat for a guy that is literally unqualified. And I trust Burrow and Bates way more than I trust Lombardi. ZT needs to win games. So do Burrow and Bates. Those latter two know that, and still are full throat in support of ZT. Gives me hope for ZT yet. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives me hope for ZT yet. No doubt Taylor has gotten buy-in from this group. That's step 1. Step 2 is having good game plans, implementing them during the week, executing them on Sunday, and making adjustments when necessary. Based upon the past two years Step 2 is in question. Yes, the lack of buy-in hurt, but as a coach he now has to get some results. The team appears to be improved across the board talent-wise. Time to put up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 For sure time to put up. But looking back at Lombardi's thesis, it is a ridiculous thesis on its face - based simply on Burrow and Bates - if nothing else. If Burrow is all in on ZT - that tells me something. And it is NOT that ZT is unqualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_C_Deadpeople Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 A secondary issue, which could once again become a primary issue is the team has to sign its own good players and draft better consistently, otherwise a short term build up goes for naught. Look at the contracts this team will have to deal with over the next few seasons and given the team will not backload contracts and is sparse with guaranteed monies this could be an issue. The players will once again realize that the team will NOT do everything it takes to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
