Former Bengals WR blames Zac Taylor for Joe Burrow & Ja'Marr Chase early struggles | Airing It Out

Fromer Cincinnati Bengal, T. J. Houshmandzadeh, says that when someone has to answer for the "epic failure" this season has been so far, it won't be Joe Burrow, it will be the Head Coach. The Bengals paid Joe Burrow $275 million so if someone's gotta go, it's Zac Taylor.

Burrow has been making Zac Taylor look good for the past 2 years...I'd love to see Burrow play under a good OC

[jamesp]

I love TJ's optimism and he is right this is 100% on the coaching staff.

[HousesByVic]

Thank you. Great to hear a former player say it. Run the ball!

[MariaM-okfq]

Absolutely my Favorite Bengals Player of all time# 84.
Trust his words. He knows what he's saying. 🧡🏈🧡🏈🧡

Zac Taylor has never solved the o-line issues since he's been there. It cost us a Super Bowl victory. We need sumo wrestlers that come to Cincinnati to teach us how the block. We also really miss Samaje Perine. He was huge. Even though he's not a better runner than Joe Mixon, he's a better pass catcher and blocker.

Chase and Burrow was fed up with Zac and his stupid plays a couple seasons ago

Hey TJ thanks for all you do. Great meeting you at the Ring of Honor Dinner. Appreciate your insight. 💙🧡🐅. We gotta get our shit together. Who Dey.

[Rlball]

This is the best take I've sat through. TJ needs a higher paying job. 🐅🐅🐅

Happened in the Superbowl. Zac abandoned the run and avoided the screen game against the Rams. Nice guy but they should have never given him that contract

[walkersikorski]

Living up to your last name TJ! Love the input!

[GuruLiving]

Excellent analysis! I mean how can you argue any of these bullet points. Even if the gun is jammed, fix it and keep shooting unless don’t know how to shoot them you need a shooter 🤷🏾‍♂️

[peterdecker]

Chiefs Offensive Line is much better than the Bengals O Line. That being said, what is happening with the Bengals this season is a tragedy.

[kimdurig]

Thanks TJ I still wear your player jersey

[sthrnvoice]

Does he actually say: “NFC Championship”? I played it back several times… I keep hearing NFC

[Mvproszn]

I saw him in downtown Cincinnati for the Monday night game against the Rams. He was wearing shades, People were calling his name, he was with two goons and he did not want to be bothered.

🙌TJ Thanks!💯... You took the words right out of my mouth.. Along with some in the comments section:
•Fire Zac Taylor & Frank Pollock IMMEDIATELY!
•I cant' STAND THIS BAFOON... ZAC...NEVER Have!
•He is a Untrusworthy/3rd Rate 'Coach'
•Let's see what happens the rest of the Season... Anything Short of a Super Bowl Appearence/WIN is a Failure!

[bryanlinville]

That was one great WR. I’m with you Housh, I think we can but we better do it now or someone will be looking for a job in the near future

[adamgetzendanner]

NFC Championship? Come on TJ! You must be out of the league for too long or something! Still one my favorite WR all time tho!

[B_Clem]

Should have been fired year 2. Our head coach is our Achilles heel

[snave]

TJ is right about the Tennesee game.They were averaging 5 yards a carry.What does Zac do? He continues, trying to throw the ball, and completely abandons the run game, and they lose.
