With Chase getting a possible 10% or 15% snap bump into the slot (5 or 6 extra slot snaps a game) this would give a guy like Burton who was a downfield threat at Alabama opportunities to run Go, Digs, Comeback, Curls, Posts things he did at a high level in college.
Edit: Dan Pticher was asked about Iosivas being Primary WR3 today. He mentioned the Keyword is "Primary" it could mean 51% or 90%.
Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher on whether WR Andrei Iosivas is the primary WR3: I think that's fair. I think that qualifying word is important. Primary can mean 51%. It can mean 90%.

Good stuff Synric and I agree with your other post as well about this getting blown way out of proportion which happens a lot on
this board. As long as Burton is used at times to go deep he adds another element to our Offense with his explosiveness and great
hands. Iosivas clearly adds the size and athleticism and Chuck Sizzle has his own talents and Irwin is just a swiss army knive type
WR that can play everywhere.
Gesicki will be used in the Slot a lot as well from what we are hearing here.

Good news, hopefully this means we are getting closer to a deal being signed soon.
