Upgrade the OL. When I say upgrade I don’t mean bringing back Reiff(wasn’t that impressed with him) and taking an OL in the draft a round or 2 above where they should be and then calling it quits.
Time to make decisions

Anyway, I’m not interested in cutting Boyd because there’s no guarantee they will use that money on the OL. It could end up going towards Bates for all we know.
Now if they can swing a trade for a decent OG…

Drafting offensive lineman does seem low percentage. Wasn't a fan of the Carman drafting. Seemed like a reach taking a college Tackle and making him a Guard. But, maybe it works out?

Me too, especially on Trey Smith, I get his health concerns, but he was a 1st round talent taken in the 6th Round. I was unaware of how great Creed could be, Sam Cosmi was rated way higher than Cosmi too.

It could end up going towards Bates for all we know. They've definitely been willing to make some trades. Billy Price-BJ Hill trade. Cordy Glenn trade. Maybe they could find a way to trade for Becton, as there are rumors the Jets may ready to put Fant in his place. I think he and Williams could form a nice tandem, and he'd be reunited to his OL coach from when he was a rookie. Becton also has a few years left on his rookie contract. Trade for Becton and sign James Daniels in FA and I'd call that starting OL upgraded for sure.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

They won turnover battle which helped elevate team to SB. They almost won the SB but the OL hurt in the end. WTS, Burrow had to show better pocket awareness and movement and did not look very sharp early on. I don't know if it were nerves or what but he did not have his mojo in SB and still played well. Bottom line: Rams stars edged out ever so slightly over Bengals stars. I think right side of OL needs complete remake starting at Center. I am not convinced that Jonah Williams is the answer at LT either. -Paul Brown “When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.” My album "Dragon" https://www.humbert-lardinois.com/

Pass pro sets are largely the same throughout the league. In the run game, Pollack is just an OZ guy. You'll hear some people call it wide zone but they are blocked the same. The Bengals don't have much talent on the offensive line. A coach can't make a guy good if the guy isn't good, you know? The line just needs an influx of talent. Burrow is also to blame for some of the sacks taken, it isn't all on the line of course but the line certainly isn't good.

Boyd will be much better if we improve the OL. He is a route runner. If he gets more time to operate he will be open a lot more.
