Here it is, via Dehner Jr.:"Ken Zampese has done a tremendous job for us for my 15 years here, and I have the utmost respect for Ken as a person and as a coach. But I feel (it's) best for the football team to breathe new life into the offense, and that's why I am making the change. Bill Lazor has great experience in the league and as a coordinator, and I
Larry Rountree III Jersey feel Bill can progre s our offense the way we need. We have a lot of talent on offense, and we need to keep working to take full advantage of the personnel we have."Through two games, the 0-2 Bengals have score nine points. So from that sense, it's really not a huge shock to see Lewis dump Zampese. Then again, it's not like the play-calling is the only reason why the Bengals have failed to reach the end zone. The play-calling has been a part of the problem, sure, but so has mi sing open receivers. The front office can be blamed for letting talented players like left tackle leave in recent years.

Lewis on Zampese: "Worked incredibly hard at this. Had a good command of the things weve done but we are not getting the results we need." Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) Meanwhile, Lazor does bring some experience as an offensive coordinator to the table. It's not the best kind of experience, though. As the offensive coordinator in Miami, his offense ranked 14th in yards and 11th in points in 2014, and 26th in yards and 27th in points in 2015. Translation: Don't expect the dismi sal of Zampese to solve all of the Bengals' i sues. This is a team that needs to get more from its play-calling, quarterback, and offensive line. One man likely can't
