Finley after the bye week?

I'm not worried about Finley behind this line. He showed an ability to move and create space in the PS, and while they were backups, they were still trying to get to the QB and make the team. I'd figure it would take time to adjust to the speed of #1 D players, but i think he could adapt. 

Dalton just isn't the answer because he needs an entire, healthy roster to play well enough to compete for a SB. Finley may not be the answer either but i'd like to find that out before the 2020 draft to see if they need to take a QB in the 1st.

I'm not worried (relatively) about the Oline because you can still draft and sign FA to fix that...which is where the "relatively" part comes in. It would have to be something the Bengals don't normally do--sign a big money T/G to fill a spot and then, fingers crossed, Jonah is good at LT and they can draft another T/G.
