I hate when we think the past few years have been a demise of TEs against the Bengals, the stats don't paint that picture especially most recent time . 

 I might have missed a couple catches from backups etc but below is the stats of starting Tight Ends in our 17 games (including playoffs).  Sure some player like Miller might have good games but that is 2 games out of a season and in the playoffs we shut him down to 2 catches for 9 yards.

2015 Season Starting Tight Ends Average

Catches 4
YPG  42
TDs  1

We played great against TEs last year, we allowed just ONE TD and only averaged 42 yards allowed by the starters.
