Hoping for more Intermediate passing vs the Bengals?

I think/hope we'll see more intermediate(10+ yards) and downfield passing attempts and completions vs the Bengals.

The passing game has consisted mostly of 3-step drops which results in passes thrown less then 10 yards hitches, slants, screens. This has been effective for the most part and has helped us control the clock.

But, it puts alot of pressure on the offense unit to play mistake free football and sustain long drives. Also good defenses squat on the short passing game. They will play alot of underneath man or Cover 2 zone and take away the short stuff especially to Moss and Cooley. I think that Zorn and JC both want to go downfield more and have been trying to mix in more 5 & 7 step drops, but it seems that Zorn has been concerned about the pass-pro or lack thereof ( and rightfully so).

Aginst the Bengals i think/hope we'll be able to look downfield further then 10 yards because : (1) the Bengals stink (2) IMO the current offensive line of: Heyer@ LT, Fabini@ RT, will provide better pass-pro then an injured Samuels, (struggling/injured) Jansen.

Thoughts?

Jason Campbell passing attempts/completion by distance in the air:
Pass Thrown: Behind line 56-73
Pass Thrown: 1-10 yds. 166-251
Pass Thrown: 11-20 yds. 32-61
Pass Thrown: 21-30 yds. 6-16
Pass Thrown: 31-40 yds. 0-6
Pass Thrown: 41+ yds. 2-8
