The Cincinnati Bengals may have started 0-2 for the third straight season, but cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt won't stop talking trash.
Last week, he criticized Kansas City Chiefs rookie receiver Xavier Worthy for only being able to run fast. The corner backed up his comments with a Absurd interception with one hand Patrick Mahomes while defending Worthy in the third quarter. This week, as the Bengals prepare to face the Washington Commanders (1-1) on Monday night, Taylor-Britt had some thoughts about his offense, which is led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
“He's calm. They don't force him to do much. They make things easy for him,” Taylor-Britt said. via ESPN“Good college offense, Kingsbury, the offensive coordinator, so they love to move guys around, but just keep it simple for him. I hear his passing percentage is really high, but he's just throwing short routes, you know? Some in-between stuff, quick throws.”
At this point, it's pretty clear that new Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury is still trying to mold the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. While Daniels is the first quarterback to National Football League (NFL) Daniels has completed 75 percent of his passes, rushed for 100 yards and thrown no interceptions over a two-game span, but he has relied more heavily on his running ability, with two rushing touchdowns and zero passing scores. Daniels' 132 rushing yards rank first among all rookies and second among all quarterbacks.
While Taylor-Britt is implying that the Commanders' offense is not as sophisticated as the average offense, National Football League (NFL) In the system, one “college” element that Cincinnati’s defense will have to be prepared for is the no-huddle play. Washington has run 63 no-huddle plays, which ranks first in the NFL. The Commanders ran the no-huddle play 37 times last week against the New York Giants, which was the most no-huddle plays by any team over the past two seasons. Kingsbury is clearly trying to keep defenses on their toes, and if we look at our limited sample size, it’s working. Washington has averaged 6.4 yards per play with the no-huddle play, and 5.1 without it.
