It's going to be really hard to stop the Bengals if they use this talent wisely - and if everyone stays healthy for at least most of the season.

If teams go into a prevent defense Mixon should be able to eat them alive and eat up the clock.   If they stack the box Ross, Eifert and Mixon should eat them alive in the middle of the field and eat up the clock.  If they defend that well AJ and Ross can eat them alive on short passes on the edge while Eifert, Mixon and Boyd keep them busy in the middle.

We should have an answer for every defensive adjustment an opposing team can meet.
