Marvin jones has clearly excelled in Detroit, and can't blame him for wanting the oppurtunity. He wouldn't have been able to produce those numbers in the role he had in Cincy. But the bengals have gotten pretty similar production through the first 7 games this year as they did last year.
First 7 games:
2015 jones & sanu: 44/603/3
2016 Lafell & Boyd: 47/617/4
When broken down further
2015 jones 26/333/3 v 2016 Lafell 27/372/4
2015 sanu 18/270/0 v 2016 Boyd 20/245/0
It doesn't always feel like it but Through 7 games it seems like the bengals made the right moves with FA. It's a small sample size but I think with eifert back, Lafell injury seemingly being him, and Boyd's natural progression as a rookie, these two could out produce last years jones and sanu by season end. Id like to see the bengals try and retain Lafell for another year as he looks to be getting really comfortable in this offense.
If this OL issue gets figured out this offense will be scary down the stretch.
