The front office obviously realizes how important the o-line is. They just can't pick the right players. With the resources we have spent on it we should have a very good O-line right now.
I have no issue with the drafting priorities, but when it was obvious that Ogbuehi/Fisher weren't working out, I think we should've shown a little more urgency in using other avenues to address the problem. Trading for Glenn was nice, but that was the only significant non-draft move we made in 4 years of terrible line play...and Glenn was kind of a bust as a Bengal.
...and no, I don't consider John Miller, Bobby Hart or John Jerry to be significant moves. We scraped the bottom for those guys.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
