Absolutely insane for what many considered a dink and dunk offense with poor run game.
Gesicki, Higgins, and Chase are a very good top 3 options in any offense.
It's up to the Bengals to figure out if there will be a true 4th option or if it will be 4th by committee.
If it's a committee, it will be between All and Iosivas.
I'd love to see at least a 50-50 split in 12 vs 11 personnel.
I think it would really help bolster the run game and take some of the pressure off Burrow's shoulders.
It's kinda crazy how much defenses builds have changed since then. Brady was destroying those old school thumper linebackers. In 2011 the Bengals linebackers were like Rey Maualuga, Manny Lawson, Vinny Rey, Dan Skuta, and I think Brandon Johnson(?). That was league norm at the time. Now most LBs look more like Akeem Davis-Gaither 6'1 230ish and fly.
