I'd place the o-line and play calling in the "up for debate" or "need more evidence" categories for now. I'm not totally dismissing them, I just think the other issues are bigger and make it hard to judge the blocking and play calling fairly.
Yes, if there was ever a year in which the Bengals needed a reliable TE, this is the year.
