The Cincinnati Bengals under Marvin Lewis attempted to become a team that wins games with a defensive style while fielding an offense designed to score just enough to get over the hump. Andy Dalton is the definition of a game manager, and his role ideally would be to take care of the ball, get first downs, and put his team in enough positions to score to sneak out victories that may be more one-sided than they appear.
However, with the addition of Zac Taylor, the Bengals likely will take a more offensive minded, analytical approach to winning football games.
