We just have to hope Eifert can stay healthy and the rookies step up, who I actually really like, Murphy and Kroft were two guys I actually thought would be good when they came out.
The good news is I think our group has quite a bit of potential to be really good, just so dependent on Eifert.
That's because the Bengals prehistoric tight end coaching model dictates block, block, block, then maybe catch a few later!! Problem is they keep drafting high round pass catching tight ends, expecting them to block first, and refusing to recognize the difference in skill sets for pass catching and blocking tight ends. This leads to injury and game time performance issues at the position.
