He was in Pitt as the OC from 2007 to 2011, and during that time had Heath Miller who posted very solid numbers...as much as I hate that bum...as do most Bengal fans. 2009 - 76 catches, 789 yards, 6 TDs, targeted 98 times.
After Pitt he went to Indy and had nothing at all for talent except for Colby Fleener who they had just taken in the 2nd round that very year.
Then on to Arizona where until now, that position has been a wasteland.
The scheme isn't the issue, he just needs the right guy physically, and he might have just found him in Gresh.
I wondered that myself. He has Miller and Fleener catching passes and then he gets a slew of nobodies in AZ that can't catch a cold and the conclusion people draw is that Arians just never ever uses TEs. Of course, this is during a time when they sign a TE with more TDs in his worst season than the Cardinal's TEs catch in some 4+ years.
Gresh won't explode there, but he'll haul in a handful of TDs and that's an improvement for AZ, right?
