Randall Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Or is this motivation for Chad? Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says the drafting of three wideouts is all about opening up room for the running game. "It says we want to run the football," Lewis said. "We don’t want [defenses] to cram up on us at the line of scrimmage with only two wide receivers." The plan appears to be to use three and four wide receiver sets in a spread offense to draw defensive backs out of the box. Whether that plan includes Chad Johnson remains to be seen, but it's good news for Carson Palmer. Source: Dayton Daily News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) Coach Lewis is trying to pull an okie doke. Feints with the running game but WR attrition is the real reason. They run out of the 3 wide set quite a bit already. OC Bratkowski isn't changing the offense on Carson with a bunch of rookie wide receivers on the field. That would just be crazy.
