I don't think they are going to have one dedicated "slot receiver". They will mix and match personnel. You will see Chase, Geiseki, Yoshi, Chase Brown, Burton, and even maybe Higgins all line up in that slot position.
I think this will be an innovation that many other teams in the NFL start copying as teams continue to try and take WRs out of the game with cover 2 and cloud coverage.
I'm excited about the possibilities. The Bengals finally have the personnel to dictate the concept.
Nice thread Weezy, I am seeing the same thing. Losing Boyd might be the best blessing in disguise we have had in years. Chase of course had
his best game as a pro against the Chiefs playing primarily out of the Slot. Gesicki and Hudson both can play in the Slot as TE's and are a size
mismatch. All of Charlie Jones, Trenton Irwin and Jermaine Burton can play in the Slot as well.
Don't know about Tee or Yoshi as they don't have the quickest short area quickness needed in the Slot, but yeah, tons of possibilities to be had
in motions and different alignments to frustrate the hell out of secondary's.
