Since we're bringing up our own predictions...
It's fun to look back on some of the stuff people were saying in February and March. Many saw this coming.

I just can't envision Ogbuehi not starting in 2017. Paul Alexander won't give up on his latest project that easily. That's what happens without accountability. PA is more worried about his ego and proving he can fix a turd than what's actually better for the sake of winning football games.
It's hard to imagine the line getting any better if guys like Og and Bodine are still a part of it. After seeing teams like Dallas, Atlanta and New England this year, the Bengals should take notes and make o-line a priority. Those teams were all excellent at running the football as well as pass blocking. Paul's lines have been none of the above.

Not trying to be a downer, but I have a bad feeling about the o-line. Ogbuehi looks like a bust in the making, Fisher is ok I guess. Zeitler is probably gone, and I'm starting to think Whit will seek a ring elsewhere. We could be looking at a Ogbuehi-Boling-Bodine-Westerman-Fisher line for 2017.

So a full blown rebuild of the o-line headed by Wolfgang and funded by Mike Brown?
Dalton is going to get the David Carr treatment this year.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
