Tyler Boyd: The
The Bengals offense could be so much better, but I’m not happy with it. 4,444 The Bengals’ passing game this season includes Ja’Marr Chase and not much else.
Chase has been the Bengals’ No. 1 receiver since he was drafted, but over the past two years, Joe Burrow has also passed the ball to Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, who have also made big contributions.
This year is different.
Chase has 556 receiving yards, more than Boyd (204) and Higgins (149) combined. Chase owned 45% of the Bengals’ receiving yards, his team’s highest receiving yardage percentage of any NFL player. The Bengals simply don’t get much from a receiver other than Chase.
Boyd says he’s not discouraged by that, even if he knows he could step up.
“I feel pretty good about [this year], but it could be way better,” Boyd said, via Cincinnati.com. “If you’ve seen this offense go, it’s not where we would like.. Everybody can agree with that.. I’m not satisfied for sure. We must continue to push forward.
As the Bengals beat the Seahawks by only three scores in the second half, Boyd caught one touchdown pass in the first half but had only one catch for seven yards in the second half. He said he couldn’t complain about his usage in this match.
“The second half was uninspiring,” said Boyd. “No one did anything. There is no rhythm. I can’t complain about receiving the ball or throwing it in because we couldn’t stay on the field long enough to get the ball rolling.
The Bengals need to find something that fits their other receivers.. It can’t be just Chase and nothing else.
