Why do you think he's injury prone and fumbled the first time hit lol. I hope the guy is good like I said I just don't trust it but everyone else seems to even the Bengals.all I know is our offense sucked since getting rid of Jones and replacing him with lafell.

Our offense sucked when they lost Hue, and it got worse when they lost Whitworth.  They have a new, young guy at OC now that deserves a chance to put together a plan with an entire offseason to prepare instead of the early-season promotion where, I felt, he did an admirable job with some changes and ultimately shit-canned the horrible blocking scheme and Paul Alexander with it.

They also brought in Cordy Glenn. who is just 28 years old.  The only reason Glenn was even remotely available was because of an injury that forced his backup to play and did a really good job in his place, which made Glenn expendable for a trade to try and get their franchise QB (Lamar Jackson?).

If you don't think the offensive schematic matters, ask yourself to go position by position comparing the Bengals offense to that of New England and Philly.  Of course, New England is going to win on QB, but position by position, I don't think you would swap rosters with those teams.  They both have an offensive scheme that makes them a threat to win every game if their defense gets just a few stops.  I mean, Brady threw for 500 yards in the Super Bowl and lost....

It goes way beyond just replacing Jones with a better talent.  The offense has to have a scheme to use every piece together to attack a defense at their weakness.  One of the reasons the Bengals always seem to struggle offensively against pitt (even in 2015) is because we didn't have the beef to protect Dalton long enough to attack their weakness:  their secondary.  I feel like this line will go from D- to B+ or potentially better (get Price or Ragnow) with Westerman, Glenn, and a healthy Fisher compared to the unit we saw at the beginning of last year.
