A new article from Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic has reignited one of the biggest conversations surrounding Joe Burrow, Zac Taylor, and the Bengals offense heading into the 2026 NFL season: Will Cincinnati actually commit to using more under center formations and play-action concepts?

For years, the Bengals have relied heavily on shotgun formations, spreading defenses out and letting Joe Burrow distribute the football to stars like Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki, and Chase Brown. While that approach has produced elite passing numbers, it has also created challenges for the offensive line and limited some of the explosive plays that other top NFL offenses generate through under center play action.

In this video, we break down Paul Dehner Jr.'s latest reporting, Joe Burrow's comments about potentially expanding the offense, and the analytics that suggest teams utilizing more under center play action consistently create more explosive plays down the field.

Can the Bengals become more explosive offensively?

Will Zac Taylor actually stick with under center concepts when games matter?

How much could this help protect Joe Burrow?

Could a more balanced offensive attack be the key to winning close games and making a Super Bowl run?

We'll examine the numbers, discuss what Andrew Whitworth has been saying about the offensive line, and explore whether Cincinnati can find the right balance between its elite shotgun passing attack and a more diverse offensive scheme.

If you're a Bengals fan, this is one of the most important storylines to watch before Week 1.
