Why the Bengals will win in 2017

1.) Jeremy Hill shows little vision and isn't decisive any more for whatever reason.
2.) Opposing defenses know our playbook is very limited when Hill is in there
3.) Teams didn't have to worry about getting beat over the top except from one guy, AJ, and he was going to see double coverage
4.) The offensive line was more finesse scheme and not as much power.  I think we will see that change this year.  

The only thing that worries me about the offensive line is Ced.  He simply has to play to the level of "solid LT".  I like where they are at with the rest of the line, but he worries me still.  Hoping he is a totally different player now that he should have a full camp and be 100% healthy.  If he does crap the bed again, they won't be able to wait until week 13 before making a move.  Fisher would get a shot at LT and Andre Smith would play RT.  

It's really hard to look downfield when defenders are hitting you in the backfield.

Hill does very well in a FB offense with good blocking up front. We didn't do either last year. And maybe he's just not the right RB for this team's scheme.
