This team has dropped two heartbreakers to the two best teams in the AFC; KC and Balt. Both games that they were in and could've easily won. They've had a couple of stinkers in the middle, but are coming off of a division win. 

The sky isn't falling! Complaining after a division win is so atypical Bengal fan!

I don't think they are going to have one dedicated "slot receiver". They will mix and match personnel. You will see Chase, Geiseki, Yoshi, Chase Brown, Burton, and even maybe Higgins all line up in that slot position.

I think this will be an innovation that many other teams in the NFL start copying as teams continue to try and take WRs out of the game with cover 2 and cloud coverage.

I'm excited about the possibilities. The Bengals finally have the personnel to dictate the concept.

6th rounder btw

But yeah, if they don’t there’s no choice but to.
