the major problem for years- as everyone knows- has been below average performance at center.

Our center play has been average to below average ever since we lost Richie.

Why the Bengals have put up with this for years is hard to fathom as everyone on this board has said over and over.

After losing Whitworth and Zeitler they became WORST IN NFL.  Add to it no more Smith or Bodine. That is 4 of the 5 from 2015 start of 8-0 gone.  We still have Boling, who is good, but we need so much more.  There are guards in round 1 much better than Westerman. I realy don't care if we take a Center and a Tackle or a Center and a Guard first 2 Rounds.  Draft loaded with Quenton Nelson, Orlando Brown, Connor Williams, Frank Ragnow, Mike McGlinchey, Will Hernandez, Isaiah Wynn, Billy Price, Daniels, Brian Allen, and others.  If Bengals choose the best 2 they can get first 2 picks and maybe come back and get a 3rd, I'm all for it.  Here is why.  Bengals are indeed THE WORST O Line in NFL and they need major upgrades just to get to AVERAGE AT BEST.  Bengals O Line no place close to AVERAGE, they are THE WORST.  Everybody in sports knows this.  The good news is there is a rare batch of talent at center, many years there isn't.  Also there are many top flight tackles and guards way above average. Before this month ends, we could have many top new blockers to add to Boling and the Tackle from Buffalo Bills.  If we add 2 in first 2 rounds, Great.  This needs repeated. Bengals right now have THE WORST O Line in NFL.  Now they replaced Whitworth at Left Tackle, but must get a center, that isn't even up for debate. That still leaves them needing another top blocker in first 2 picks.  If they don't go out and get blockers, just trade AJ Green contract because he will never get the ball with Dalton sacked every play. 

The Bengals are not Average, they aren't that good. Their O Line is The Worst, but this draft can address that, IF they address that. 

As for the new coach, I was very impressed with Dallas O Line in 2016 helping to make rookies at RB and QB look so good. Other runners gained yards also. I thought Dallas had best blocking in NFL in 2016. Since we are worst in blocking, I see anything as an improvement. So Dallas gets our coach and we get theirs, and all things considered, why not, we are worst blocking in NFL. Maybe we need a Dallas Cowboy type line to take on Steelers and Ravens as when Forrest Gregg built us a Vince Lombardi Green Bay Packers type O Line that took us to 2 Super Bowls. We also had some success with that Dallas coach named Zimmer. I don't think adding some Dallas Cowboy football is a bad thing at all.
