Listen to the "Hear that podcast growlin'" podcast (of follow Paul Dehner, Jr on twitter) and look at the horrible inefficiencies of the Bengals running the ball in to "go ahead and run it" defenses where everyone is off the LOS.  Through two weeks, dead last in the NFL.  

The issue here is not a WR/TE personnel issue but an O-line and schematic issue. If you add another TE they can simply add another defender to the box(and probably swap the Nickle Corner for the LB). Instead they need to look into improving run blocking along with using things like RPOs to aid in their ability to run the ball.
