If you can't block, the only thing that gets spread is the QB spread out on the ground or the RB spread for a loss.  

I don't know where some fans get the idea that drafting a RB or a WR is going to help the O Line....It never does....Either you can block or you can't.  If we can't block,  the best players ever couldn't spread the field.  ....When the ball is snapped, you either have blocking or you don't..

Bengals not only let Whitworth and Zeitler leave but they waited until their 8th pick to take an O Lineman.  They had 3 picks in Round 4 and passed on some good blockers and even early in 5 took a kicker, which is a questionable pick in 5.  They did get Andre Smith back....

The word isn't PANIC.....The word is KEY......It is KEY that Bengals put together an O Line this summer.  Right now, I would say we have worst O Line in NFL and that means losing season, I don't care who we drafted......So it is KEY, that the coaches turn what we have into enough blocking to win.....NOT PANIC.....BUT KEY.......KEY that coaches turn what we have into enough blocking to win.......THIS is the biggest challenge for this team this summer and preseason.  

If we can't block, we sure as heck won't be spreading the field.  More like quarterbacks getting sacked as soon as the ball is snapped.  

I hope they can coach these 14 O Linemen up and have enough blocking to Win......GO BENGALS. .....I wish they had addressed this area more in the draft. I hope they didn't take too many finesse players and not enough big men blockers. ....Come preseason I'm going to be watching to see if we have blocking or are our QB's and RB's getting killed. It may be the O Line doesn't come together until regular season. The Bengals offensive line is a very weak area going into this season. Since I want my Bengals to WIN, i know you can't WIN without BLOCKING....So I'm hoping the coaches get them good enough to WIN. ..I would say the O Line coach for Bengals may have the hardest job in NFL this summer, turning these 14 no names into a Solid NFL Blocking Unit.

Has the sky fallen yet? I get the concerns about the o line, I have them too. But it's not like they can't block at all. Using simplistic numbers, if a dominant line can block for 5 seconds and an average line can block 4 seconds and our unit can only block for 3, then spreading the field would make sense
