For instance, will we put Ross out there right away and draw up plays where he can use his speed to burn a defense? Or will we see LaFell out there as the coaches claim Ross needs to "absorb the entire offense"?
And will we see Mixon out there and running plays designed to let him burn the defense with his jets? Or are we going to see Hill out there running for 2 and a cloud of dust while we get claims from the coaches that he needs to show in practice he knows the offense?
If you are asking if our OC schemes the offense around a rookie, I sure hope not. But, I have no issues if he schemes 5 or 7 plays out of the hundreds in the playbook for the rookie. I think Malone will play in a role as well in if Zampese dials up more speed type plays. Malone is close to as fast as Ross so I am hoping Malone makes the team and is active with Ross and others so our offensive game plan is interchangeable when injuries occur in game.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
