And now with the disaster on the OL it doesn't even help to have them when we do because we can't form a proper pocket or give the QB time for the play to develop.
Really it won't matter who you stick behind Center until the OL is fixed. You might get a one or two game dead cat bounce but then the new QB will be shell shocked and the same scenario will repeat itself. Until the Bengals organization wakes up and understands that a quality OL has to always be offensive priority number one (which includes valuing Guards and Centers properly) it will not change.
It all starts up front no question.
Can have all the weapons in the world but if the QB has no time it doesn't matter unless that QB is a magician.
Which Andy is not.
Same goes for the RB's, if they have no holes cannot judge them either.
Barry Sanders is the only guy i have heard of that could still play great with a shitty O-line.
