I believe the quote from Marv in 2009 was, "so long as he's on my team, Andrew Whitworth is playing Left Tackle for us."

Something like that.

All five of the starting offensive linemen for the Bengals were set to become free agents in '05 and '06.  Everyone knew we could not re-sign them all.  Everyone got a new contract (Braham '05, Williams '06, Jones '06, Anderson '06) except Steinbach.  He was still on the team in '06 but it was clear it was probably his last season here.
