Was that because of injury or due to performance and where do you stand on that now" and his answer was something along the lines of "we're trying to get things to work and we're going to keep trying until it works." So I think he knows the Oline is a mess. I just don't know if it can be fixed this year. Unless Adeniji gets to play and is just inexplicably great :)
As for Burrow and OROY, I'm not convinced this team is 2-14 bad. I bet they can squeeze 4 or 5 wins out of this season at a minimum. We've been within 1 score in all three games, with 2 of the games basically lost because of silly nonsense (Chargers game we have a ticky tacky OPI call followed by a missed chip shot and against Philly, we allow two improbable TDs in the final seconds of both halves and screw up overtime on a ticky tacky holding call, not to mention the easy TD bouncing off Boyd's fingers against Cleveland).
This is nowhere near last year, where we were losing games by 20 points twice in the first four weeks. Our offense failed to crack 21 points in 12 of our 16 games, including 10 in our first 11 haha. We've surpassed it twice in three games already. We'll secure some wins soon :)
Bengals had a chance to close the game and couldn’t, because of the o-line. Aside from the meaningless Mixon run, the last two drives in OT netted -24 yards or so, because of the offensive line. I don’t see why they don’t plug Adeniji, he literally could not be worse than Johnson or Price. If anything he plays at their same level but gets experience in his 1st year.
Also I thought it was a Marvin Lewis issue giving up points before half, but apparently it is also a Zac Taylor issue.
