Bengals should change the strategy covering tight ends going forward..

and an enforcer who loves to punch the ball out. I know Kittle destroyed us but that was more cause of his great hard
catches he kept making and Jimmy G is a wizard in the middle of the field. Flowers handled Andrews well the last time
we played him. Sometimes the QB and TE are just too good no matter how you play them like was the case with Kittle.

Kelce will give us trouble, he gives everybody trouble. Kittle also had more yards in the game before he played us.

Some dudes are just beasts of TE's, which is why I want to add one in the Draft next year if possible.

Funny you mentioned this.  I was surprised we didn't see more of Flowers on Kittle after how he played Andrews.  It is a really good point.

One thing that could go a long way is not giving them (the TEs) a free release.  That makes that quick throws easy and high %.  Re-route them and force them to get loose and you can throw off the timing.
