I doubt we see Gesicki as a TE unless there are 2 or they go to 01 and use Sample as an HBack. Sample is so good on picking up blitzes. Him protecting and those 4 to cover would be a load.
Sure sounds great. It will definitely be a different look this year which is exciting. Good luck trying to cover both Chase and Gesicki
running around the middle with Burrow and his accuracy. Sample looked buff as heck last year and when he was at H-Back Browning
was hardly touched. You are right, this could be very hard to defend with a healthy Burrow at QB.

Bengals used a heavy 11 personnel because of the WRs they had, but now Boyd is gone.
If you got Gesicki who can essentially act as a big slot and get one of Sample, Hudson, or McLachlan some playing time too, that sounds good to me.
Like Pitcher said, they had the most talent at WR and that is why they ran the Offense they did and didn't use the TE's near as much
as they were clearly the least talented of the bunch. Now we have much more talent at the TE position and Gesicki, McLachlan and
Hudson will be very tough matchups in the passing game. Going to be interesting on how they use these guys.
