I actually started a thread on this, and was tempted to bump it again after last week's game.  I've never seen offense that has receivers so blanketed on almost every play.  Our guys have guys draped all over them, or immediately have defenders around them when the ball is caught.  We make what should be relatively easy throws look like a damn miracle sometimes due to the coverage.

I'm not sure if this is due to the defenses just knowing what we're doing, and we're not fooling anyone, or if it's by design to just beat people to balls.  But when you watch this offense it looks like no one is getting any seperation, not just Tate.

At this moment the offense lacks a true burner on the field
Ross fits that role skillset wise but he has been inactive

Not having that vertical blazer really condenses your routes 
In the underneath and intermediate zones of the field.
Your safety can play up more and help bracket  A Green or Boyd.

When I see teams play the Bengals in single high coverage 
I dont understand why they dont run more wheel routes
Or sluggo routes
