Offensive coordinator Jay Gruden enters his second year with the Bengals on a wave of momentum from 2011. With a rookie quarterback, rookie receiver and his first go-round as a coach in the league, he helped lead the Bengals to a playoff berth and saw QB Andy Dalton, TE Jermaine Gresham and WR A.J. Green make the Pro Bowl. 

He took time to speak with the media Tuesday as the Bengals prepared to open training camp on Friday. Here are five answers to pressing questions surrounding the Bengals' offense. 

Q: How much have you been able to expand the playbook in the second year? 

A: Quite a bit. Probably too much. I have always been criticized about having too many plays, but I would rather have too many plays than not enough. But we are going to continue to expand. From a daily, weekly basis we are going to add more things, but the core is in. Everybody feels very confident about the core of plays we have both in the running game and the passing game, the screen game. Now we just branch off from there. Everyone feels very good about where we stand, how many plays we have. Anytime you play a different team, 4-3 team, whatever it might be, you are going to have to have different schemes and players have to be ready to adapt to it.

Q: What are you most looking for out of the competition for the No. 2 WR position? 

A: Consistency. I think these guys have done some good things. (Brandon) Tate's done some good things, (Armon) Binns has done some great things, I really don't anticipate one guy really jumping ahead of the other. I think both will be very beneficial to us and both will be a big help to us. (Ryan) Whalen is out there also, he does everything we ask him to do. He runs every route at the right depth and catches every ball thrown to him. I don't know what else you want. (Mohamed) Sanu has done a great job coming in here learning. (Jordan) Shipley, hopefully he gets back and (Andrew) Hawkins gives us that extra element as a speed guy. I think a little bit too much is being put on that No. 2 guy. We'll see. I think time will tell with Tate and Binns and Whalen. 

Orson Charles and Jermaine Gresham, do you envision two-TE sets being able to take pressure off the receivers? 

A: Orson came in here and has been a pleasant surprise for us. He's a big, strong kid, great leverage, he's got good quickness and very good hands. He just has to learn the terminology and training camp will be a huge, huge deal for him. See how fast he can learn and how he can play different positions and being able to move him around will be very important to him. Anytime you have two tight ends then your third receiver is on the bench, too. And that third receiver is a very good player, too. We plan on utilizing a lot of personnel groups and giving everybody a chance to make some plays. That's why I think this team has a chance to be very good because we do have the ability to do a lot of different things with different people. Two backs, one back, two tight ends, three tight ends maybe, four receivers, no tight ends -- it will be exciting. 

Q: Questions about Andy (Dalton's) arm strength were tossed around as a rumor this offseason. Did that provide more of chip on your shoulder or challenge because you aired it out quite a bit during the offseason. 

A: Yeah, he does have to get better on his deep ball. It's not so much his arm strength, it's his deep-ball accuracy. He's got plenty of arm to throw it. Sometimes he'll just lead the guy out of bounds or maybe too far inside. Just got to work on his deep ball accuracy and he's been working on it. But he's got plenty of arm strength that's not the issue. The accuracy part of it, I think that was the first video I showed him before any article came out was of 15 of his deep balls that were errant and big plays that were left out there. That is one step that he has to take is to be more accurate on his deep balls. Arm strength, not an issue. Accuracy, issue. 

Q: How will the RB rotation work this year, just a matter of opponent or go with the hotter back? 

A:Baltimore. Hopefully, we'll get all those answers figured out before then.
