I'm sorry, but do you mean as a receiver?  If so, I think the coaches are very aware of how he handled the job last year.  I am curious how many times they will be lined up in 12 personnel (two TEs, 1 back, two WRs) vs. the Bengals supposed status quo of 11 personnel (one TE, one RB, 3 WRs).

I think they were going to use more 12 personnel to help the rushing attack but Uzo's injury early on put a stop on it.  The drafting of Chase doesn't prevent them from using 12 personnel, but it does seem to make it less likely.

One thing I (think) I know about Burrow:  He finds the open guy and that doesn't matter if if is Chase, Boyrd, Higgins, Uzo, Mixon, or even Sample.  If he is in a pattern and being covered by the weak spot of the defense, Burrow will spot it.
