What have we learned in the past few weeks?

I like Gio as a third down back and CJ is a good second TE. Hart would be fine as a back up tackle. My point is not at those salaries. Bengals have a number of good players who I believe would be even better if they had a couple of difference makers playing beside them. I think if Geno was playing at a level he did a few years ago, Lawson and Hubbard would have more sacks/pressures and the secondary would not be as exposed. Or if the O Line had Sewell and Thuney/Scherff then Burrows, Boyd Higgens and Mixon would all be better.

I think this team needs a couple of impact players. 

Sample gives you what CJ does and Perine has been a serviceable back up RB at a fraction of the cost. Obviously the team is better off having good veteran back-ups but in a salary cap league you want to make sure that you can still afford a few elite players.
