It's really simple....
- Pacman is as dynamic a returner as there is in the NFL. The Bengals put him back there when they need a spark or potential big play to flip the field. He doesn't do it on the reg because they don't want to wear him out or risk injury.
- Tate is a reliable, versatile option and the Bengals value that.
- Alford is a small slot guy with speed. They do NOT value that nearly as much. Thus, he will sit until he proves he is reliable. TYLER LOCKETT WOULD BE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION HERE.
I am wondering if the Bengals lack of interest in small receivers is because of the blocking schemes they run on running plays and the physicality of the AFCN. That would make sense to me.
