Side note off topic: With Andrei Iosivas seeing the slot reps that could get the Bengals some size as a blocker in that role. At 6'3 205/210 32' arms Yoshi could be an outstanding screen blocker which the Bengals need badly. I've seen them run RB screens 2 or 3 times in camp already with Brown and we know they like rhe RPO screens to Chase Mims, All, and Yoshi inside as a screen space blockers could be a completely new wrinkle for rhe offense.
Great post, that is why Zack Moss is just an okay pass catcher, he doesn't have the wide route tree that a player like Chase Brown
could have with his quicks and speed in and out of breaks. Also a good thought on Iosivas with his size and strength blocking on
screens. Would love to see this wrinkle with Mims and All blocking out in front of Chase Brown.

I mean, Chase Brown was okay at catching the ball at Illinois, but I certainly couldn't help in seeing the immense difference early in the
Offseason to a couple months later in the vids that were provided in the Chase Brown/Iosivas thread. It was drastic.
I have a ton more confidence in Chase Brown being a pass catching threat now.

So true, no more of that shit, so frustrating seeing a RB just forget what he was and trying to be something that he was not.
We just need our RB's to square their shoulders and head up field instead of that East/West stuff that Mixon was always trying to do.
Chase Brown actually has the speed to get to the outside like you say.
