This makes a LOT more sense.  Have a two TE set with Uzomah and Roberts.  Roberts would usually stay in to help block, but occasionally flip the script and have Uzo block and roll this guy out to get 7 yards and move the chains or in the Red Zone.  

This is what virtually every other team is doing with great success and the Bengals stick with 3 WR sets with guys that need time to separate.  The two TE set creates match-up problems RIGHT off the LOS.  The defense has to adjust to which TE is going out in a pattern.  It is usually a LB that has to make that read.  

Sam Wyche was the master of using his TEs to create mismatches in the defense...and as soon as the safeties started cheating up, hello deep ball to Collinsworth, Eddie Brown, or Tim McGee.  God, do I miss a creative, attacking offense.  Dalton would destroy teams with an offense like this.  Sad thing is, they are only a good run-blocking TE away from opening a lot of these things up.  That is assuming no other changes/losses on the offensive line.
