Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase is prioritizing explosive plays during training camp, even if it means receiving fewer overall targets. He aims to recapture the ability to consistently complete passes of 20 yards or more.
Chase, while still desiring a significant role in the offense, is shifting his focus toward maximizing impact per reception. According to reports, he’s willing to accept a decrease in the number of times he's targeted if it results in more substantial gains on those plays. This adjustment comes as Chase works to improve his performance and contribute to the Bengals’ success.
The team’s offensive coordinator, Dan Pitcher, spoke last week about the importance of this approach for the Bengals’ overall strategy. While the specific details of Pitcher's comments weren't fully detailed in the source, it indicates a shared understanding between player and coach regarding the need to elevate the explosive play potential within the offense.
Chase wants the ball as much as possible, but his main goal this season is getting back to finishing more plays longer than 20 yards.
