What Weaknesses Do We Have?

[kevin]

It's worth repeating.

You say you want more rushing yards. That's going to take better BLOCKING
You say you want more receivers catching passes. That's going to take better BLOCKING
You say you want Dalton to to do more. That's going to take better BLOCKING.
You say you want the Defense to look better. That's going to take better BLOCKING
You say you want Coach Lewis to win a play-off game. That's going to take better BLOCKING

The Bengals Defense was on the field more than any defense in NFL.
The Bengals Offense was on the field less than any team in the NFL.
The Bengals had WORST OFFENSIVE LINE in NFL.
It's amazing they won 7 games. Luckily the defense kept them in games in spite of this fatigue factor.
Dalton also did some great quarterbacking to win games in spite of awful, awful O Line getting him clobbered every play.

Message to Mike Brown : You always say, " Why should I pay an offensive lineman ". I'll tell you why if you still don't know.
Without BLOCKING you might as well trade Dalton, Green, Atkins, Dunlap. Trade everybody and field the cheapest paid team ever
because without BLOCKING you aren't going to win anyway. None of the playbook can work without BLOCKING. None of it. There
is no playbook for no BLOCKING. So Mr Brown, either have BLOCKING or don't pay anybody. You are just wasting your money on
players and coaches and computer charts and training facilities, all wasted money without BLOCKING. If Price becomes a good Center, I hope you don't let him go when he is contract eligible with your " Why should I pay an Offensive Lineman " . That is the difference between you and your Dad, Paul Brown, because he always had good offensive linemen in 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. Then in 1990's you took over and you just have never understood the need for Blocking as your Great Ohio Football Father did.
