The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a rough start to the season, losing their first three games to fall to 0-3. But it sounds like star quarterback Joe Burrow has a plan to right the ship.
During his press conference this week, Joe Burrow announced a pretty significant change in his approach as he indicated that he plans to take on a more vocal leadership role.
“We’ve got a lot of young guys that we’re counting on that haven’t really been here before. [To] have them hear my voice more might be beneficial,” Burrow said according to the Cincinnati Bengals team website.
“I’ve always just kind of picked my spots of when to do that. I’ve never really been that guy I would say. It still won’t be a big part of who I am, but there’s definitely some spots where [my voice] could be needed.”
Now in his fifth season with the team, Burrow is one of the more veteran players on the roster. He is also the clear and unquestioned leader of the team’s offense when they’re on the field.
Needless to say, it makes sense for Burrow to take on more of a vocal leadership role with the team, especially with the way they’ve performed so far this season.
We’ll have to see if the Bengals can bounce back this week as they take on the Carolina Panthers.
