That is eye opening. Just spitballing here, but they took two gambles on athletic linemen in Ogbuehi and Fisher. We saw how that turned out. Reckon Duke has gotten gun-shy from that debacle?

From what I remember, at least for Ogbuehi, that he was injured when they drafted him and injuries really derailed his time here. So he was athletic but fragile in the injury department. But my memory could be wrong there.

I think they got Karras Cappa and Brown for good deals because they are so unathletic, and other teams know it
Ya know, good value pick ups

You're right, he was hurt when we drafted him. He just never panned out when he healed, here or elsewhere. I'm for the athletic types, I was just wondering if it hasn't effected Duke's thoughts.

Ouch. Welp, time to start talking draft. Have they disclosed what the injury is?

Bengals have a tough schedule too...top 10 draft pick? Brock Bowers' destined to wear stripes.
I have the Heart of a Lion! I also have a massive fine and a lifetime ban from the Pittsburgh Zoo...

Hate to see Joe go through another major injury.
I look forward to the day when he & our Bengals have things go their way.

What about the again terrible OL? It’s going to be the same mistake they made with the Chase / Sewell debate. FIX THE DAMN OL ALREADY! Everyone said this would happen if he came to the Bengals and so far they are ruining his career

Line coach needs fired and we need 2 new lineman this offseason because we aren’t resigning Jonah and Cordell is pure ass

I won't watch a single game next year, if Stank Pollack is retained as OLine coach and the Bengals do little to finally, truly fix it and the running game.
Not sure if this is a rant or if I'm for real. I tend to stubbornly stick to my guns when I'm at my last straw on a particular topic, sometimes out of pure apathy. I would make a REALLY good Sith.

We need not only a o-line coach but an offensive coordinator who appreciates the run game. Taylor needs to give up calling plays or get fired. He is horrible

Any and all accountability was just washed away with the Burrow injury. Nevermind the beginning of the season screw-ups. They will say a hurt Burrow was the cause of all things poor, and biggie, biggie give me one more chance. Hope I'm wrong.
