As to point 4, I actually mentioned Jones (though i can see how you missed it given that I basically wrote a novel) in the first paragraph after "How I'd game plan against Cincinnati". Who plays the slot more often: Sanu or Jones?
I wasn't surprised to see the Bengals grab two OTs early on in the draft given that--at the time--both Whitworth and Smith were going to be FAs. I found it interesting that Whitworth got an extension--thought they might move on with Ogbuehi and Fisher in 2016.
When they first drafted the two tackles I, and a lot of people were a little upset. As this season has gone and I see how the offensive lines are struggling throughout the league I am very happy now. As far as Whitworth, I can see how a fan from outside might think that the Bengals should have moved on from him. What we see here is a player who hasn't allowed a sack in 27 games dating back to 2013. He has faced the most feared pass rushers in the league over that span and most of those guys couldn't tell you what Dalton looks like from personal experience. The front office, wisely in my mind, went ahead and extended him to make sure that the young guys behind him have time to prove they are ready to step in.
