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.

I understand that but A.J. Green was pulling the number 1 corner last year and getting double coverage.... so Higgins and Boyd will see no change from last season in their coverage.

I'm not knocking Boyd or Higgins. I actually think both of them are undervalued by most fans here. I simply enjoy pointing out that we had to draft Chase since the WR room was just so bad (pre-draft ).... but now... it's magically all better. It wasn't a need, it was a pick to distract the casual fan from the team not being competitive, Taylor still being the coach, the Brown family still doing Brown family things. But, it's all good. At least the Bengals will score points right.
