Jordan - It's hard for me to get excited for Jordan after seeing how bad he was last year. I know there were growing pains though. I'll have confidence once I see it in games on a consistent basis.

TEs - We'll see, but for a TE group to be ranked among the best in the league, they have to contribute as pass catchers. This is echoed by PFF, who rates the Bengals TE group 29th in the league. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-tight-end-rankings-all-32-units-entering-the-2020-nfl-season 
Even if Sample and Uzomah do solid or better in run blocking, they need to do the same as pass catchers for me not to consider that one of the weakest positions on offense, as the ultimate value of TE is not knowing whether they will block or catch a pass on a given play.

With that said, I see your point and hope Jordan and the TEs do well.
