I did not say that you said they don't need to be able to catch the ball.
What I was meaning was you were making it sound like being a receiver is not very important for TEs in the Bengals offense.

Here is what you said prior...
"The TE is not a star in this scheme rather a blocker first, outlet second, and overall a role player. "


Here were the pass vs block snaps by primary TE each of the past 3 years:
2021 (Uzomah) - 594 receiving reps, 48 pass block, 323 run block
2022 (Hurst) - 510 receiving reps, 16 pass block, 149 run block
2023 (Hudson): 240 receiving reps, 2 pass block, 34 run block


Every single season the past 3 years, the TE was running out on routes more than they were blocking.


So the Bengals do need a quality receiver at TE, as they are using TE a good amount in the passing game.
The TEs just hasn't been as productive as the 3 WRs in the passing game to-date.
