I can't see a situation where the team has consistent offensive success with this mess.

Glad you asked!  (I realize you didn't ask me)...

A team like the Bengals that struggles to run the ball and has poor pass protection should use more three TE sets where the TEs are not covered up so they may go out  in a pattern or stay in to block.  This gives a look that teams don't know from the formation if it is run or pass.  In other words, 100% different from what they are showing now.

They could have Kroft and Uzomah on the line, with AJ and Eifert split wide.  Single back.  You could have as many as 5 receivers in the pattern or as many as 7 players in to block.  

The added bonus?  You could go no huddle and never have to change personnel.  That means no changes for the defense, either, or you have an easy 5 yard penalty.  

Andy could pick apart opposing defenses with receiving targets that go 6'4", 6'5", and two guys 6'6".  Plus, he could have a stacked formation on one side and run a naked screen to the RB on the other side.  

It won't happen, though.  This team just needs to block and tackle better.
