Burkhead is a great example. He was serviceable here. We probably could have used him more. He moves to NE and they have been using him a bit each game. He isn't a worldbreaker, but he does have use.

We don't seem to use many personnel packages come game day. That is one thing I really admire about NE, they find a way to use each and every man on the 53 roster.

Erickson is a another guy to me who could help this offense. He has a knack for getting open. Not sure why we don't have some more packages with Erickson in the slot.

Kroft is a shining example. He has always had sticky hands a knack for picking up first downs. He has been stuck behind Eifert, and we make no effort to get backups in the game. Could have used him a lot more before now.

It's sad that the second WR on the team (LaFell) is 5th in receiving yards on the team behind Green, Bernard, Kroft, and Mixon.
It's also sad that the second-round pick last year has the 8th most receiving yards on the team.
The only WR with 100+ yards through four games is AJ Green.
AJ Green is on pace for 1200+ yards by season's end while every other WR is on pace for less than 400 yards. That's pathetic.

The Bengals have receivers that need (much) more time to get enough separation than they are actually getting, and therefore they have all been unproductive. That's a recipe for a disastrous pass game.
