How often did the Bengals run last season prior to Burrow going down versus passing.
How often did they line up empty set with a RB either motioning out or not being there?
The Bengals offense was predictable due to play calling and formation. If you want to run empty sets you can't do it with an average to below average line.
Pre draft all I heard on here was Boyd and Higgins can't get separation. So they draft Chase to sell jerseys and excite half the fanbase. Now I'm to believe that suddenly Boyd and Higgins will get separation?
You said this group of receivers can do it all? Funny, before the draft this WR Corp was terrible. Couldn't go deep, couldn't get separation but now all the sudden one guy and all that is fixed? Either this group was fine and didn't need to burn a premium pick or people are overselling the groups talent.
One guy does completely change the WR corp because it changes how the opposition defend against them.
If Chase draws their no1. CB, the knock-on effect is likely to be a better match-up than if Higgins is going against their CB1 and Boyd their CB2. Playing against lesser CBs makes it easier to get separation.
If Chase draws the safety in double coverage that stops them doubling someone else, which makes it easier for that receiver to get separation.
