I don't think the Chiefs will ultimately care about the Bengals getting a CB.
But a CB will be invaluable if Awuzie or CTB goes down to injury, and we've seen at least one CB go down to a big injury the past two seasons.
On offense, it was the OL that the Chiefs exploited to get the win, ultimately.
Getting the RT solidified will be huge against the Chiefs.
A new RB may help, but I don't think RB is what held the Bengals back the past two years.
Ultimately, it was blocking.
A more dynamic TE might help, but will the Bengals prioritize a true receiving threat TE over one with more experience/prowess as a blocker?
Darnell Washington might be the kind of TE that actually scares the Chiefs because he's a good blocker and also found ways to get chunk yardage as a receiver, albeit he's not as experienced when it comes to running routes.
I would go RT over Gibbs, I just don’t think the right one will be there. And I’d go Gibbs over any TE. Yea if a cb goes down we’re in trouble. But the same can be said for LT, DE, DT, S, QB, RG, C.
If they sit in high cover 2, we’ll run wheel routes and screens to gibbs all day for 8-15 yards.
