my guess is the stupidity will be starting Gresham over Eifert, every time Eifert makes an awesome play, they will bench him and let Gresham go and drop the ball for the millionth time.

At least for the moment, Gresham is the far superior blocker. Eifert is essentially our #2 WR who will line up all over the place, including split out quite a bit.

I hope this is how they use him, but it will certainly take time. I don't think Gruden has always thought outside the box with Gresham -- The few times he has split him out or used him on a screen it seems to work. Not enough of it though.

"far superior" is probably exaggerating it a bit much.

Gresham isn't a good blocker.

Here's an interesting article, they have the Bengals forgoing a FB with Rex Burkhead making it as the 4th RB and Onterio McCaleb as the 6th CB.

I think that article tends to overvalue the new additions -- How many late rounders/undrafted free agents do you expect us to take? I realize we've had some success with guys like Burfict and Lamur, but I don't think we should expect this to be the trend every season.

I also don't believe we'll be cutting Brandon Tate. I'd drive him to the airport if we did, but Marvin won't get rid of him. Just watch.

I don't expect McCaleb will make the team.

Burkhead almost has to make the team now that the cancer kid won the ESPY.
