we are aware of how defenses how to play the Bengals
when Eifert is on the field.
it really keeps the defense  from tilting the field toward AJ or Tyler.
when Tyler Eifert is healthy....Andy Dalton can move the sticks
as well as any QB.

Now you throw in CJ Uzomah who in Eiferts absense
has quietly improved year to year.
hes only 26 yrs old. his,best days are ahead.
Uzomah is,really gotten better at taking hard shots over the
middle and securing the ball.
his hands in general have become a strength in his game.

this is the 1st year actually that we get to see both their talents
become a integral part of the offense.

Drew Sample has the advantage of being able to learn and watch
behind these 2 plus hes already becoming a fast learner
and a playbook poindexter.

with ZT using play action and boots I expect our TEs
to be real solid contributors to the success of Dalton.

I see Eifert as the deciding factor, I think without him (if injured again), they will be good, but with him can be great. I have stated in other threads, we never have had a pure blocking TE on the field with Eifert either. A two TE formation opens up options from maximum protect deep passing, to play action to running the ball out of it. I am excited for this group and agree CJ has gotten better every year as well.
