Athleticism is an underrated quality in interior linemen. Pouncey was a top Center and didn't weigh 300 lbs. From everything I have seen, Lindenbaum is an elite prospect. Him under Center and Hopkins at RG with a FA tackle like Armstead makes this team a Super Bowl Champ...not just a contender.
And FWIW, with all the turmoil around the league for QBs, and the cap issues facing some teams, I think the Bengals have a real shot even without a massive overhaul on the line. But I still hope it happens.
Definitely would be awesome to get both Armstead (if he can stay healthy) and Linderbaum. I just think we can do much better
than what I have seen from Hop at RG. Heck I have more faith in Carman there than Hop from what I have seen. I would like to
get James Daniels and Trent Brown if we are going for youth along with Linderbaum and I think this would be a SB Champ OL.
Armstead is older than Trent Brown by like 4 years, I know Trent has had problems being motivated but that might change with
him coming over to block for Burrow.
