My wish, other than no injuries (for some reason, I feel like I have to say that), is that the Bengal's first team offense come out with three WRs and chuck the ball all over the field. The first drive, I want no rushing attempts at all. I want to see if they can pass protect and spread defenses out with their weapons. It would also be a good test of Mixon to see if he can help pick up the blitz, and/or slide out as a check down.
The second drive, do the complete opposite. Line up with two TEs, a full back, and pound the ball. Every play a rush. This is our running formation, try to stop it. Rotate Mixon and Hill...as I doubt Gio is going to be playing yet. Maybe mix in a reverse to someone like Josh Malone. But run the hell out of the ball.
If the Bengals can do that with success against the #1s from KC, it would be a huge success.
