Speaking of Billy, I mentioned before that at the games he would stand off to the left pretty much away from everyone else on the team (players) which I took as a very bad sign for him symbolically if nothing else. OL needs are a lot stronger at T and G than center. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He escapes a lot or ire and blame because he's the least stinky turd. It doesn't make him good. I know they wouldn't do it but I would be way OK if they signed Corey Linsley from GB. I think the Center is a very important position on the line and just OK isn't good enough for me. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Hopkins is fine, but he spent all year worrying about the two bags of garbage next to him. Also, damn near every OL tears an ACL at some point it seems. It isn't the problem everyone makes it out to be. At worst the guy won't be ready game 1. Then again I have no issue drafting a C in the fourth round or later, but in the first three rounds that would be stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is when the next man up is either Hart or an orange barrel that fell off the highway. You're right though, OL is a tough position to stay healthy at, which is why you 1. need depth and 2. do what it takes to hang on to guys that show up every week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The whole league needs oline starters and depth right now... We just happen to have the worst 5 starters as a unit.. Makes it hard when your starters are actually better suited fir depth!

With him & Hopkins its still a task but do-able, without either of them though? Already at the point where they probably need to overpay for some really average talent. IDK how you replace an entire OL without neglecting other areas in the process. Not like we're solid everywhere else right now as it is... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree about Jonah and Hopkins... Spain is allright as long as you don't bounce him around every damn week like Turner was hadhim do...no continuity to alot of the linemen that way.. Adenijji probably had it the worst.. Fred Johnson too.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since the prospective trade-up would be for a QB, anything that does not include future first-rounders is a MASSIVE failure by the Bengals front office. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing m2ore and more mocks projecting Slater to the Bengals even though Sewell is still there. Saying Cindy loves Slater's 5-position versatility. Haven't seen many places project Slater over Penei. I'd rather have a 10-year tackle over a swiss army knife that high. You can find guards later on. Guess I'll take a closer look as the off-season goes on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I almost hope Sewell is gone by 5 so we trade down but i fear Mikey would just pick a @#%#$^ WR instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I_C_Deadpeople 467 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I read somewhere the other day that JB was frustrated that he could not throw the ball deep more , so IF (big IF) they went after a few good OL in FA I see them taking a WR at 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
