They are reportedly scrapping former OC Jay Gruden's high-volume quick passing game as new OC Hue Jackson prefers a power running game. The problem with that may be that their best offensive weapon is A.J. Green and it is uncertain if Giovanni Bernard could shoulder that kind of running load. Nonetheless, this could be a good UNDER team early on.
Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson believes new OC Hue Jackson intends to "take the load off" Andy Dalton, and reduce his pass attempts from last year's 586 to "closer to Russell Wilson's number of 407."
Hobson believes the Bengals may scrap Jay Gruden's old high-volume short to intermediate passing game, and allow the "running game to open up the deep ball." This, of course, is Jackson's offense. He's a power-run coach with vertical-pass leanings. Turning Dalton into a low-volume game manager would significantly curb Dalton's fantasy appeal. It would also almost certainly curb the Bengals' team turnover rate. Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill stand to benefit.
