I know it isn't the sexiest thing to imagine when thinking about this offense, but I can't help but think of the possibilities in terms of a rushing attack.  A high % check-down attack using Boyd and Hurst (and Mixon) when Higgins and Chase are clearing things out.  Sure, I love a deep ball to Chase as much as anyone, but having a consistent, grinding offense where Burrow is patient and just takes what a defense gives them will be REALLY frustrating for the opponent.

I can see a lot of teams being like:  "You aren't beating us over the top!" and have two safeties really deep, and then guys like Boyd, Hurst, and Mixon/Evans just eat them alive underneath as well as just a more successful rushing attack.

All that being said, I am still holding out hopes that William Fuller IV is signed as WR4.   That dude on the field WITH Chase and Higgins would be a blast, and I think he could play fewer snaps, have some big plays, and up his value for next season.  I know the Bengals really liked him coming out of the draft, and due to his inability to stay healthy, I think he could be signed for a fairly cheap amount.

Agree

Thanks for posting Pally, good stuff.
