Zac Taylor says Dan Pitcher did “excellent job” calling plays in preseason game vs. Bears

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor praised offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher's play-calling abilities in a recent preseason game against the Chicago Bears, stating that Pitcher did "an excellent job" calling plays. The Bengals' offense, under the new scheme being developed under Pitcher's guidance, showed promise with quarterbacks Josh Johnson and Sean Clifford connecting on 25 of 38 passes for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.

Running back Tahj Brooks also contributed with 16 yards on three carries. While it remains uncertain whether this change in play-calling will be a permanent adjustment or a one-time preseason experiment, Taylor's comments suggest a positive outlook on Pitcher's performance in this role.
