And why can't we just use Sample or Uzomah in that role while Pitts is in a hybrid role?
I'm not sure how the offes can be tailored around that? I'm sure they could work that in, but the 2 offenses in the SB had dominant, traditional TEs.
I see zero negatives with tradional, big frameTEs that can block, run, and catch. I see olenty of negatives with TEs who are really just either a dead giveaway as to what side the Bengals are NOT running to, or what side to blitz from on passing downs.
Look, I won't be throwing a remote at the TV is they select Pitts. I'll be A ok with it. I just don't see what problem he solves for the Bengals that Pat Freiermuth doesn't solve (in the 2nd)... and it improves in line blocking.
Like, Pitts doesn't solve the gaping hole at deep threat, #1 WR, that the Bengals have had for the last 3 seasons.
