Now I'm not celebrating yet that Pitch is staying since there are still open offensive coordinator and head coaching jobs out there. Once some of these teams hire new head coaches, they might be interested in Pitch for their OC job.

So excited to see Pitchers vision come to be after reading the Paul Dehner article in the Athletic. If you're actually here for the team as well as Joe - this should make you happy😄

Excerpts:

"We have explosive players,” Pitcher said. “We need to create more explosive plays.”

The addition of 6-foot-6, 249-pound Gesecki gives us a guy Karras saw make a catch leaping near the crossbar in the end zone and pluck the ball off the helmet of a shorter defender for a jump ball. His radius area is huge!!!

Pitcher and his staff want to see shotgun, downhill, gap run plays.

Zack Moss has run this scheme well.

It just made the game so much easier,” Moss said of his extensive use in shotgun during his career. 

You can manipulate the defense a little bit more than you can when you’re under center.”

Couple this stylistic shift with an expanded role for the 22.3 mph burner on 2023 fifth-rounder Chase Brown and, quite simply, the Bengals exchanged punishment for explosiveness.

Trent Brown when healthy can keep the width of the pocket. That’s something that’s so critical. 

When Burrow can hold the ball 3 1/2 seconds, he leads the NFL in passer rating (118.5) That takes a non collapsing pocket. TDs per attempt (12 percent) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (10:1). He’s third in EPA per dropback (0.13) and completion percentage (59 percent).

Protect Burrow, and profit isn’t a groundbreaking philosophy. It’s merely one that lends to explosive plays
