Cris Collinsworth Praises Bengals Star Joe Burrow, Says O-Line is key vs Steelers

So many times you see quarterbacks that want to take deep shots, but they're sort of forced. Like he seems to... Throw it every time it's the absolutely correct thing to do. And so as a coach, what that does for you is it allows you to call a lot of deep passes. And Atlanta played a lot of bump and run man-to-man on Jamar Chase. Like, are you guys out of your mind? Like, what are you freaking doing? Yeah, yeah. I was like, stop it. What are you guys doing? on. But yeah, and so I think that... First, the amount of time that he puts into his craft is very evident. I mean, this guy, he just doesn't miss the opportunities, if you will, and take advantage. But they also have this great combination with Kosicki being enough of a threat going down the middle of the field that they work the middle of the field better than a lot of the combinations that I see. And when you have Jamar and you have T and you have the catch and run ability that those guys have. I mean, probably my favorite part of watching the Bengals play is when Jamar gets the ball in the open field. I'm like, they cannot tackle this guy. I mean, and you look at him and he's he's built like a tank from the waist down. It sounds weird, but a lot of football people look. Anyone that's seen him knows what you're talking about. I mean, you know... So he is just so powerful. He's like a running back from the waist down, and you watch people bounce off of him. I've seen so many plays where he catches like a wide receiver screen out there one time against Baltimore, and he's like... Four, you know, went through four guys that were right in front of them. So, I mean, it's really exciting. I hope it's as good as I think it is. I will say this. The Pittsburgh Steelers on defense are as hot as the Bengals are on offense. And so many times when we talk about football, we all love to talk about the Bengals and the Packers and the high-flying offense. So many times it's Jalen Warren and the way that they're running the football right now. It's freaky how well they're running it and how they're playing defense. And they will have some schemes to get to Joe Burrow. And then it's going to be Amarius Mims and Orlando Brown and those guys.
