The Bengals’ pass attack was not horrendous last year, but that was no thanks to the tight ends. Of the roughly 300 catches all Bengals pass catchers had tight ends only accounted for 18% of them. Whether or not that lack of involvement was a function of Tyler Eifert’s injury, new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor’s schematic changes or quarterback Andy Dalton losing trust in the position may not resolve itself until 2018, either. No matter what the issue was last year, the Bengals need to ensure that the tight ends are an integral part of the offense moving forward.
