Earlier this week, Nagy explained why he believes this is the year the bear offense will finally be clicked. But given the disappointing start to the preseason, where the initial offense has scored six points and amassed 144 yards in eight possessions: 73 of those gardens reaching Adams ’deep touchdown, it’s hard to have much confidence that the things will change suddenly.
Although it happened slowly in preseason, Cole Kmet, second in the second year, believes the offense is ready to prove what this offense can achieve.
“I think we’re all anxious and willing to show what we can do as an offense,” Kmet said. “We feel very good where we are. I haven’t really had it in games, whether they’ve been away or were away from home or things like that. But we have felt good about what we have been putting into practice and where we believe our strengths and weaknesses are. A little harden these things as we get to week 1. We’re happy to go out and show everyone what we can do. ”
When he looked at how this offense has grown between last year and now, Kmet specifically pointed to quarterback Andy Dalton, who has been good at communicating his expectations, which the players respect.
“I think there is a lot more communication this year between the players and Andy (Dalton). It’s been great communicating things with the receivers, tight ends and backs. As players, I think we’ve taken it, not just to get to know each other off the field … but to just get to know our talks, our calls, and things like that. “
