Is the offense missing that true burner at WR?

WR room is, it's missing that mercurial burner
That can blow the top off the defense.
I'm talking DeShaun Jackson fast.
Boyd isn't the guy. Tee is built for contested
Catches and red zone leaping ability
Jamar is fast but is like a RB playing WR at times
Ultra fast WRs you don't have to scheme all the time
To get open.
I saw Marquis Goodwin get behind the Bengals
Secondary.his only routes he ran yesterday was to go routes. Which opened up the middle for Njoku and Cooper.

No, I don't think so.

I think it's mainly with how long the OL can block and/or the routes being called for players to run.

Chase - 4.38
Jones - 4.43
Iosivas - 4.43

Boyd and Higgins are 4.5's guys, but they don't need to be blazers.

If you want to see the Bengals deploy Iosivas and/or Jones to add more speed, it will have to be in 4-WR sets, I think.
Probably take Irv Smith off for those, as Bengals will probably need a RB in to block, as this OL did not pass-protect well (yet again).
