Agree.  

Also, I'm very grateful that they finally got back to having monster OTs here.  

It got real sideways the year that Alexander decided to change his philosophy and abandon the massive, athletic OTs for dudes that look like power forwards.  Whitworth was a massive OT.  Willie was a massive OT.  Both were elite not only as Bengals, but in the league.  That shift killed OL play on this team for a mind-numbingly long time.  

We can't say that anymore.  We have two absolute giants out there, and both of them have excellent track records when healthy.
