Green's position coach.
"That's probably the next best thing about this was an opportunity to work with someone like him," said Bicknell, the Bengals' new receivers coach who arrives via a one-year stint coaching the Baylor receivers. "You just watch what he does as a player and everyone can see that, but (also) everything I've heard about him as a person and a professional."
The first best thing for Bicknell is his reunion with Bengals offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, the quarterbacks coach in 2013 when Bicknell coached the wide receivers during Chip Kelly's first season as the Eagles' cutting edge head coach that took the NFL by storm with an up-tempo, no huddle offense.
Lazor and head coach Marvin Lewis have indicated they feel that fast-paced style suits Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, although it remains to be seen how they'll deploy it.

I like it. Switch it up. Glad we are going a more aggressive style on Offense. Dalton is always pretty good when we go more
no huddle and he can get into a rhythm. It is all about rhythm with QB's and RB's, need to have both Mixon and Gio on the
field at the same time. Really like the fact both these guys can run good routes and play the Slot in a pinch.
Also like hearing Lazor having some say and being able to bring in his guy for the new WR coach.
I liked Urban but for some reason he wasn't able to get anything out of Core this year after all the hooplah in the Offseason.
