Agreed, the team needs to have a balanced offensive attack. When you look at the defenses on the schedule next season, they are all mostly able to shut down one dimensional offenses. When I look back at the few weeks that Eric All was starting and the Bengals were running a lot of 2TE sets, it was refreshing to watch. The passing and running games became more efficient due to probability of pass or run play not being as predictable to opposing defenses (crushing blocks from Eric All improved both).

I say if they can get the best run blocking Guard who is also competent in pass pro to put next to Mims, the short yardage efficiency will improve, no matter if it's Burrow on the sneak or one of the backs going to that side. LG needs upgraded as well, we can only hope that the team sees that as a need as well.
