Being a Bengals fan, I have multiple way to get open and acell of O without cheesing.
It usually depends on how the other person is playing. If they are giving me a lot of zone and are conservative as passing rushing goes, I like to tear them up with the CJ TJ combo, and now that we are going to have Ben Utech, that will help a LOT against people who use the zone frequently.

As far as people who like to blitz and play bump and run, or just man to man, I love play action, but my ace in the hole for blitz freaks is the HB screen. After a HB screen that goes for 30 yards they usually back off a little. It's then that I like to pound it with Rudi Johnson for first and second down then I can get pretty freaky with Chris Perry, he is very agile, also good to screen with if I haven't already.

As far as D goes I don't have much to work with. I usually have to blitz 1 LB to get moderate pass rush, if I don't it's rare if I get a sack. I do love zone blitzing though. I have forced so many interceptions. I also like to roll out the CB blitz every once and a while (especially for cheesers who are all over in and out of the pocket with Tom Brady type of people), it really catches a lot of people off guard resulting in a sack or hurry. I can't really man to man teams with a decent TE because they always tear up my Linebacking corps.
