One thing I'm not a fan of here is the lack of a power back, or at least something resembling one, to get tough yards and soften up the defense.
I've said it before but I fully believe this: in the middle of last season when the Bengals looked like a championship team, they had Perine running behind Cappa and Collins. They didn't wear it out, but when they used it, it was damn tough to stop. It was a small wrinkle that really kept defense honest when dealing with the passing game.
Idk who takes Samaje's spot and Idk if Jonah can do what Collins did in the run game. I doubt it.
DO I think they can win without this wrinkle? Sure. But it sure was a nice offensive facet to have available.
