How Bengals' Zac Taylor is refocusing for next season | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@jbeusmc]

Zac’s play calling can be irritating sometimes, but he has really been incredible creating the culture in the locker room. The players play hard for him.

[@alexmccoy6981]

Amen

[@Muzzlecrowe-li9kt]

It’s all joe

[@charleswise4831]

Every Coach’s play calling is questioned when they lose. Heck, Zac’s play calling last year was questioned when they went 12-4 with 10 straight wins while losing 3 starting o linemen. It’s low hanging fruit for knuckle draggers who don’t know the game or want to hate on the coach! Zac and the culture he has brought is one of the reasons Cincy will be in the hunt for years.

[@dmajorsWHODEY]

Yessir. Just need to not overthink it when during those times.

[@hordyaba]

@@Muzzlecrowe-li9kt Joe is a big part of it, but the players all say they love Zac. Some have said they wont play for any other coach. Zac was the one that had the vision that they are all believing in.

[@eastsidemas4358]

Who Dey!!!!! Zach Taylor has created a great culture, his playcalling is questionable but the team always plays hard for him. I do think we need a new O line coach.

[@jakegwosdz4944]

Good coach. He get his ring soon enough.

[@Willtellthetruth]

History says no. When a HC makes the Super Bowl for the first time and loses typically they get a new QB before they win. Examples: Sean McVay (Jared Goff/Matthew Stafford), Andy Reid (Donovan McNabb/Pat Mahomes), Bill Cowher (Neil O'Donnell/Ben Roethlisberger). The last HC to lose his first SB with a QB and then return to the Super Bowl and win with the same QB was Hank Stram with Len Dawson; they lost the first Super Bowl and then won the fourth in the 1967/1970 seasons respectively.

[@the7A7dude]

​@Willtellthetruth that's likely to happen since Burrow can't stay healthy anyway, he probably retires super early

[@kghd2647]

💀

[@ShinefortheCam]

​@the7A7dude if burrow can't stay healthy to u. Then neither can Lamar & Herbert. They missed games too. Burrow will be fine

[@ShinefortheCam]

​@@Willtellthetruthwe don't care what history says. None of them qbs u named are joe burrow!

[@charlesh1735]

Bengals have a good head coach in Zac Taylor. He was an excellent hire.

[@NathanDean79]

Zack is a dam good football coach. His play calling is getting better and better. He is still a young coach. I think he should have been coach of the year in 2020. I mean he went from the worst team in the league his first year to the Super Bowl in his 3rd year. If that ain’t Coach of the year I don’t know what t know what is. Vrabel got it and we beat him in the playoffs.

[@uog293]

His playcalling this year has been suspect at best

[@WKRPwpig]

Great question and answer on the comparison of quarterback qualities when they were in the league compared to now. ❤ Saying that Dick Tobin might be answering that question behind us right now was comedy gold. 😊

[@WhoDeyTrey]

Love hearing that comment about mixon. Let's go. Who dey!

[@TonySalamonski]

Zac taylor looks like a supervisor at Dillons

[@tannermikal2]

That’s a good thing. He’s just him and isn’t egotistical 😎

[@troyahadlock7836]

Please no more wide receiver screens I think they gained a total of 4 yards combined with all of them

[@twotimes8395]

Facts!

[@NathanDean79]

Dax Hill’s first year starting his stat line looked almost identical to Jessie Bates rookie year. Dax had 1.5 sacks too and Bates did not. Same amount of tackle Dax had more pass deflections. Bates had 1 more interception. I think Dax Hill can play anywhere In the secondary. And I believe CTB can play safety because he did so for at least 1 year in college. I know that Dax is an ELITE nickel CB. When he was coming out that’s what was being said about him by numerous people who know football pretty well. Elite nickel. Unfortunately we already have a near elite nickel. But like I said Dax can play anywhere. And Battle can play either safety spot equally well and I believe he can play nickel too if they needed. I would probably let Jalen Davis go this year and draft a CB who plays nickel in college. They need to draft 1 cb preferably one who can play nickel or outside. And they need to draft 1 safety as backup. Tycen Anderson is coming back from injury and we only have 3 safeties on the roster. Need 4. Tycen Anderson is exited to see his career progress. I would probably train him to be the nickel after Mike Hilton leaves. I know he is big but he is super fast athletic and twitched up. I think he would be great there and we wouldn’t have to worry about bringing a big CB in to cover all these elite TE’s we face every dam year. Anderson is 6’2’’ 210 and he is the fastest safety on the team. 4.36 40. That’s like a small linebacker lol. He could take down this TEs quite easily. Dax did ok in that job last year but Anderson has 15 pounds and 2 inches of height on Dax. And Tycens arms are a bit longer and he has bigger hands. Like an inch bigger. Tycen has huge hands. Dax Hill tested like a freak but Anderson tested like a super freak. Nah Anderson was very similar to Dax In testing but was a little bit faster and a little more agile and has the exact same vertical and Tycens broad jump was 1 inch furthur than Dax’s.

[@craigharris41]

Look Dax struggled in space. He was out of position most of the time. CTB has said that the secondary will be better than it was.

[@twotimes8395]

@@craigharris41dax also is a slot guy, playing free safety!

[@rolandconnor575]

Toughest division in football. The "voice of the 49ers" play by play guy said when Bengals beat SF last mid season, it was "the best QB live performance he has ever seen". Chiefs should be scared.

[@the7A7dude]

Burrow can't stay healthy though :/ sadly I don't see him ever playing a full season again

[@jim7993]

@@the7A7dudewell maybe get some glasses then you’ll see.

[@soquick69]

Outside of his rookie year he's only had a calf issue and this ligament which was less severe than Purdy. Every QB has had injuries.

[@getbrainseeds]

@@soquick69 yeah because his rookie season wasnt really on him his own lineman injured him, people forget he was behind the worst o line in the nfl his first 2 seasons most sacked too

[@bengalbabe]

[@fishmank27]

Ain’t that true about how much change happens in 6 yrs with the kiddos. Been a solid coach, changed this team, need to put it together this year.

[@Mvproszn]

Crowned Tigers Own Dey Throne

[@samuelp1227]

I had no idea what this guys voice sounded like

[@JasonHurley]

Should I watch this as a Bengals fan? I love Zac, but Florio was a complete jerk towards the Bengals this past year.

[@TrendSettaRico]

Who Dey

[@Coleman.1957]

The quarter back sneak on second and one that injured Burrows hand was totally asinine

[@JeremyBeckham]

Easily top 5 coach in the league. I honestly wouldn’t take anyone other than maybe McVay.

[@Tragic_Magic23]

People bashed the Bengals for going with him. I think he was on Sean McVay’s coaching staff. He’s been a really good hire.

[@EvangelismforGod]

I don’t think he’s the coach that could get this team over the hump. He need’s to replace his offensive line coach.

[@hdd822]

Frank Pollack needs to go....

[@teacherl8330]

Chris doesnt pronounce it "Bangles" to the coach's face! Lol...

[@JMRBR]

Surprised he sat down with you Florio, given how much crap you talk about the Bengals.

[@ShinefortheCam]

Get owenu in free agency , noah fant at tight end, & leonard williams. Build the trenches! & a pass catching tight end. Stop being cheap with the guaranteed money & resign tee higgins so he can be here for the next 3-4 years

[@ShinefortheCam]

Bengals have plenty of cap space & $ Just do it

[@dasupastar4lyfe]

I’d be fine with Jonnu Smith as well

[@charleswise4831]

They haven’t been cheap in FA! Quit thinking this is the 2010 Bengals! Good grief, have you watched what they’ve done the last 3 years in Free Agency, if you have wouldn’t embarrass your family with ignorant comments like this!

[@ShinefortheCam]

Whodey coach

[@HumbleVee]

Yeah Mixon Gone Zac, but like Yu said change can be good.😒

[@TaylorPort]

Get that play calling together Zach, when Kc got that turn over n the Super Bowl it took 1 to score it would’ve took Zac 3 trys

[@oneeyegamr]

Least penalties in the nfl since he has became a head coach

[@ace.45-g8e]

Burrow is fked he needs to leave Bengals is whole from owner to coaching.

[@prestonhutchinson153]

WHODEY ZTTTTTTT

[@mikehouse68]

The game came down like it Always does ? Bwahahahahahaha Ya'll have had a COUPLE lucky Years with Mr Glass... I mean Burrow. Taylor has Coached the BUNGLES for Five Years now... He's been DEAD last in the Division Three of those five Years. Look he seems like a nice guy... but obviously without Burrow or Mr Glass he's NOT a good HC. Sooo for him to act as if they compete is a JOKE.... without Mr Glass they don't compete.

[@kane6529]

Stop calling plays Zacery

[@chrisk7389]

Listening to Zac talk is like listening to paint dry. No personality

[@Cbtrainnut]

He’s awesome and so much better than Marvin’s interviews

[@jim7993]

Quit sniffing the paint your watching dry.

[@jbeusmc]

Who gives a shit. He’s been a big reason why the Bengals have been winning the last three years.

[@Mlist10]

Not really to me. I think he answers questions genuinely. I mean I’m not looking for a stand up comedy show

[@hordyaba]

Thats how coaches generally are

[@mikehouse68]

Chris.... the Chiefs have NO respect for the Bungles... they're a JOKE. Taylor is NOT a Good HC he's record proves that. Burrow is a Good QB but obviously made of Glass. They talk way too much trash for who and what they are and have been for YEARS.
