Not only do the WRs get slot work but Eifert, Gio, and Rex Burkhead are also line up there. The Bengals have been also know to line up OTs Whitworth and 2nd round pick Jake Fisher in the slot. You might not seem worried about the tackles but Fisher did catch a 31 yard ball out of the TE spot against the Chargers.
Yes, I imagine that they'll want to get Green and Eifert into the slot to see if they can get matched against Robey or a LB. This is one game where I hope Rex assigns one guy (Gilmore) to cover Green and lets him play the slot if he has to in order to stay on him.
I did see some of the flexing out of OT stuff that happened in the last few weeks. Let me say it this way: if the OTs running pass patterns is the key to the passing game, I'm not worried (the point being, obviously, that I don't think it is).
