is this what the Bengals are lacking on offense??

The Bengals used to have this kind of offense but over the past few years Cincinnati has become ridiculously one-dimensional -- and it's all self inflicted. The Bengals can't run the ball period, and that's the truth. That's about ten percent on the running backs and about ninety percent on the offensive line.

If Andy Dalton can drop back, go through his short to medium depth progressions, and get the ball out in three seconds or less, the Bengals can score maybe 20 points per game. Forget about the deep ball: It's not there because it takes just over four seconds for AJ Green to run a 25 yard route after a bump from the opposing cornerback. By then Andy is running for his life, forced to check it down, throw the ball away, or take a sack.

The Cincinnati Bengals aren't even in the conversation with respect to a multidimensional offense and the last time the Bengals had one of those was maybe 2005.
