We have to remember that the Bengals matured faster than planned. The team took a calculated gamble in 2021 in drafting three OL players and having a backup room largely consisting of rookies and second year players. They expected to be rotating the rooks in as a season that likely did not involve playoffs happened so that this year (the year they EXPECTED to push) they would have seasoning.
Well, the team matured early AND two of our three OL picks got hurt. It happens. I still think we bring back Spain so we have vets on both sides (assuming he is 100%) and if Spain isn't then we are going to see another veteran OL pickup.
Feel the same as usual. We will bring back Spain or another vet after the Draft. Need competition with Carman badly with his
injury and the fact he just hasn't been consistent in pass protection yet. He was much better at LG but that was a small window
of play we saw when Spain got hurt.
