You might might very well be correct about Uzomah.
When you think about it the Bengals, in the Marvin Lewis era, have had some very good talent at tight end.
When I sit and think about it, it seems a lot of our tight ends had a lot of injuries and weren't always used to the best of their abilities.
It feels like to me they thought Marvin played them too much like a Reggie Kelly and wasn't innovative enough with them.
Reggie Kelly was the spiritual leader of the team, just like Whitworth was. But not everybody is meant to play in the trenches at tight end like Kelly was.
Tight Ends in general are among the most injured position in football. Not sure if it's because of their size combined with the hits they take or what, but across the league TE's always seem to be banged up.
