Joe BurrowQBCIN
Voters believe Cincinnati takes risks with its franchise quarterback by not protecting him adequately. One voter criticized head coach Zac Taylor's play-calling, noting an example where on third-and-10 from the plus-45 against Cleveland, the Bengals came out with open edges and spread formation, which should have resulted in a screen or quick pass, but instead they called a dropback pass that resulted in a sack.

As much as I respect the head coach (Zac Taylor) as a play caller, and I like him a lot, it is insane how they do not protect (Burrow). It's third-and-10 from the plus-45. They are playing Cleveland. That situation, you are trying to get in range of the field goal. They come out with open edges. They are spread out. This is either a screen or the ball is coming out quick, right? They did dropback pass. Bang! What do you think happened? Sack!
