And that they all felt like this OL was good enough to put a franchise QB who they just took #1OA behind. Cleveland goes out and signs Conklin and hires Bill Callahan. They’re 4-1. Our biggest moves to address the OL were XSF and a 6th round pick. It’s unbelievable to me that anyone can defend this.

It’s indefensible, Nicomo. It’s borderline criminal. I’m getting flashbacks to the 1990s watching Joe Burrow getting tossed around and all I can see is David Klingler, Jeff Blake, and Akili Smith getting beat black and blue. Let’s throw Neil O’Donnell in there for good measure.

The reason — and the only reason — Andy Dalton lasted so long after 2015 in Cincinnati was his quick release; the fastest in the NFL. Without that quick release he would be peeled off the turf like a Fathead poster. That quick release covered up a lots of pass blocking sins but it sure couldn’t hide the abysmal run blocking.

This offensive line is poorly manned and the coaching is horrible. Jim Turner needs to go. Now. Not at the end of the season.
