We have terrible talent on the OL but no-one is suggesting we only play 4 on the O Line most plays even though we only have 2.5 decent/good players!

Well that's kind of mandated because you must have at least 7 players lined up on the LOS and only the two at the ends of the LOS are permitted to be eligible receivers. So yes, I guess technically you could have a non-OL line up on the LOS and be used purely to block but the TEs have not been good at blocking either so you don't really have another option besides OL.

I agree though, it was dumb for the Bengals to go so light on LBs, especially given the lack of talent at the LB position.
