Andre Smith was superb grading out at 87.6.

Billings graded out at 82.2 which is Good.

This points out the bigger issue, which is coaching.  There is zero creativity in route design.  There are no crossing or "rub routes" that are supposedly illegal but every team does them and it isn't illegal if there isn't direct contact.  The DB usually has to adjust their route, though, causing the free running WR.  The Bengals made very few plays despite almost every catch being contested.  Dalton had maybe three designed waggles/bootlegs.  He is actually very good on the run, but he needs more than one shot doing it a game.

A strong coaching staff has this team contending overnight.  

If they go in-house, they will continue to flounder.
