Feel that if Bengals can have an established rushing attack with Burrow and these WR's all year ?
Then the offense will be a juggernaut and their SB chances soar by making defenses play them honest.
Think Bengals are still formidable if Mixon gets hurt, but definitely missing some of their claws and will be a completely different team without him.
Usually would not want to do this sort of greedy move but think the Bengals can go all in the next 2 seasons and would have loved to have seen this come to fruition. Plus see no way Mixon gets re-signed and need to search for a replacement, yet think that's still a year away so I understand the game plan. .Just worried they will run Joe so much he may not hold up throughout the year.
Still stoked though, they basically the Bengals did everything I wanted in offseason except adding a stud RB.
But everything else I wanted C, RG, RT that are run blockers were added. Thought they may get 2 of them but did not think they would get all 3. Bates replacement in case he acted funny, got it too.
I'm happy.
Not that I like the idea, because I don't want him hurt, but if Mixon gets hurt I think we'd see a lot of Chase on jet sweeps, end arounds, etc. JC used to be a running back, and he's probably the 2nd best RB on this team in addition to being #1 WR.
