Now I think this could be a good Offense, but most National Sports Media People are not all that excited or amazed by Hill, Gio, Mixon, Eifert, LaFell, Boyd, Ross, and even Dalton as we Bengals Fans are.  It is still an AJ Green ONE TRICK PONY that Defenses can Double or Triple Team AJ, until others step up and prove themselves.  I say this because it's what always happens in Play-Off losses. The Good Play-Off Team doubles down on AJ keeping him bottled up, and the others never step up and burn these keying on AJ formations.  An AJ ONLY Offense will NEVER win a Play-Off Game.

Well, we have seen what a healthy Tyler Eifert can mean to this offense, especially in the Red Zone.  I think we saw a nice improvement in Cody Core in his limited opportunities and looks to be a steal in the 6th round.  Uzomah has also flashed, but needs to prove he can stay healthy.  Tyler Boyd had a solid rookie season.  Gio is hot and cold, but when teams have to defend him in space, he presents real mismatches.

The addition of Ross opposite AJ Green is the missing piece that this offense hasn't had since Chris Henry.  Ross is far more than just a vertical threat, but his mere presence changes the way teams will defend the Bengals.  The last time we had a 1400 yard rusher was when we had Henry taking the top off the defense.

I have said it before:

AJ is the new Chad

Tyler Boyd could be the new Housh

Ross could be the new Henry.

What has me so excited is we never had a great TE with those teams, and we have one in Eifert, and maybe another in Uzomah.

We also didn't have a top 5 defense, which this unit absolutely has the chance to become.
