I'm just listing the stats and people can make of it what they will.

Personally, I think the problem is that defenses really solved the Chase puzzle fairly easily, yet we're still targeting him 7.8 times/game over that span. We either (a) need to find new ways to get Chase open, or (b) start targeting Boyd more.

Higgins an Boyd are doing fine. Higgins in particular has been exceptional.

Oh, I didn't see it as you calling him a bust at all. He's put up some pedestrian numbers for sure, some due to what you say about Chase, and some because Mixon started rolling there for a while.

As for Chase, I gotta agree with Frank on that....

If the bengals had only Boyd and either Chase or Tee, then yea, you’d have to move one of those guys around

But tee is capable of beating the opposing teams’s weaker corner with no safety help

Good point, and Boyd moves the chains and makes tough grabs in the middle. I can't see moving him out of the slot either.
