I guess Cappa is alright for now but I'd still be looking for an OG that can make some kind of impact. Karas signed I think a 3 year deal and Cappa I think a 4? Plenty of time to find replacements while they play out their contracts. I'm more concerned about the Tackle position as it's more important and more of a pressing problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, both our OTs are disappointing & Williams in particular is becoming a liability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because we keep drafting linemen with injury issues, going back to Ogbuehi in 2015. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 To me the problem is obvious. The Brown Family and Duke Tobin wouldn't know a good OL player if they come up and bit them on the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. 7 minutes ago, BengalBuck said: Likewise, find anything bad said about the guys they signed in free agency. Everyone gushed about how the Bengals addressed their biggest weakness. Collins I think had plenty of question marks after washing out in Dallas. He also talked himself up quite a bit & put himself under a microscope, plus he hasn't been healthy since he got here. Does the team know you're allowed to have a RT not on the injury report? Why do we keep trying to plug guys into that spot held together by duct tape and happytalk? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks that we are squandering the "Joe is a Bengal and in his prime" opportunity with seemingly the same issues we've had for years. It's also just been a weird year in the NFL in general IMHO with different teams results vs expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingspoint Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 I don't need to see any more. Jonah Williams can not play LT in the NFL. And, certainly not at a level to be protecting the greastest Quarterback to ever put on a Cincinnati Bengals uniform. There should be one priority and one priority only and the problem should get solved not through the draft, but through Free Agency. Someone needs to be made an offer they can't refuse, Jonah Williams moves to another position (LG)....seems like I've said this somewhere and sometime before,...and we get Burrow a LT who will be Top-10 LT for the next five seasons. It's more important than resigning Higgins. It's more important than resigning anyone other than Chase and Burrow. If it takes $75M guaranteed for five seasons and two 1st Rd picks to get the best LT on the market, then just think of it as part of the cost of keeping a healthy Burrow on the team who will be productive for the next 10 years. Look at what's happened to the RAMS after Whitworth retired. It was predictable. That's how important the LT spot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's taken another 100 sacks by then? I am unconvinced. They can option and tag him too but they can't force him to play at gunpoint.

I think it was more Joe saying to hell with it and taking the sacks to make plays. It wasn't sustainable and kind of miraculous he wasn't injured. Maybe he's thinking he'd prefer to still recognize his future wife & kids when he's 40? The OL looks a tick better overall to me but now everyone knows it's still a weakness, and how to exploit it.
