Quote:With the status of running back Zack Moss (neck) unclear, the Bengals are seeking a complement for lead back Chase Brown, and the sense is they're looking to go bigger.
Offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher emphasized Wednesday that the 5-10, 211-pound Brown played big last year as a three-down back after Moss went down for the last nine games. Both in touching the ball 283 times for 1,350 yards and protecting quarterback Joe Burrow.
But Pitcher also said big would be a nice complement.
"The easy answer is Chase isn't the biggest guy, so maybe if you have an opportunity to add a bigger back with a little more power repertoire to his game, that size helps you in protection," Pitcher said. "But I say that with the caveat Chase really stepped up in his protection as well last year. You can kind of look at it with a little bit of a blank slate and say let's find a way to add a really good football player. We know Chase has a well-rounded skill set. And depending on who we are able to add we can mold it and we can make it work. Credit Chase's development that we find ourselves in that position."
