When he jogs out there for his 11% of the plays the D knows there's about an 85% chance a run is coming. If you jog him out there for more plays where we don't run you're taking a play maker off the field.

Having said all of that with this O-line I'm pretty surprised.

I think we see Bengals use more 2 TE sets. If Eifert stays healthy, it is first time we can put 2 TE's that can block (Eifert just OK, but not bad) and Kroft who can both catch the football. Kroft caught 7 redzone TD's last year.

So, we can now run or pass out of 2 TE sets and we have a QB smart enough to read the defense and audible based on the defense once he gets to the line. We also have Uzomah who has progressed nicely and a 4th blocking option if he is active.
