They used a top 11 pick in the draft on arguably the best OL in the draft. The Steelers are hurting at LB, they drafted Bush, if he gets injured and out for year does that mean Colbert also sucks at his job because he did not address it further????

1 ) Bush is starting for them day 1. He’s not injured
2) Steelers have beaten us 8 straight games
3) they are primed for another run we are not.
4) last time we were there they beat us

Only Bengals fans would compare our GM to the Steelers GM. Tobin still sucks .

Yes Tobin does suck. It’s not like our line was one player away from being good. Hell were 4 players away from just being average. To think one guy, my bad one guy and a what 5th rounder was going to fix this mess is wishful thinking.

Can back up both guard spots and he can try to play tackle if need be.

To many opening on the line to just fix with the draft. Please for the love of all holy no one say well the signed Jerry and Hart in free agency. Like bragging about buying a 1981 4 cylinder mustang and MB's lumina. Hart is improving but that is just dumb luck.

Eh we have a pretty good roster outside of LB and OL. They were both bad last season and we started the year 4-1. Hopefully Willis can fill in adequately for green for the first month and we stay healthy at the other skill position. Also let's keep the big three of Atkins, Dunlap, and Lawson.

Coaching has nothing to do with that?  He just woke up better one day?  People around here say the cutest things.

As Long as Jerry sticks to RG I am okay with this. He is a decent guard and guard only. They should try M Jordan at LT to see if he can back-up Glenn/Smith

The Bengals have resigned OG John Jerry, signed OL Wyatt Miller to the practice squad and placed OT O'Shea Dugas on injured reserve.

Better keep him at Guard, dude looked bad to say the least at Tackle.

What happened to Dugas?

Knee injury and is now on IR.

Damn, liked him better than Jerry from what I saw.

Thankfully Andre is here.

I dunno about you boys, but I’m fully erect.

I hope he never plays a snap. He sucks and looked awful for most of the preseason.

I wish people would just stop with the John Jerry playing tackle narrative. At what point in his NFL career was he considered a viable tackle? If he's lining up on the outside for your team, then your team has a serious problem. Just because he trotted his fat ass out onto the field to impersonated an offensive tackle here and there does not mean that it's a good idea to plan on using him there at any point. In fact, it's completely moronic.

LOL. Do people think him getting run out of the NFL for a year made him a better OT? Hilarious.

Yep, it’s been apparent for quite a while. Even stupid shit like wasting 5th round picks on Deshaun Davis this year when a simple scouting report let’s you know he couldn’t do the job.

They will rue the day they didn’t take Devn Bush.

Devin Bush was taken before we picked.

I wonder how many of these people saying we'll regret not getting Bush were in the same group saying "anybody but Bush" when we were predicted to be taking him? There were a lot of people on the draft section of these boards who wanted nothing to do with him.

Maybe Bush becomes a stud, or maybe he turns out like the last LB everybody thought we'd rue the day the Steelers took (Bud Dupree).

He's a much more savy vet now. In all seriousness, considering our oline situation, having Cordy and Dre on the left with Price in the middle may help in securing Andy's backside a little.

Jordan at RG, then find someone to play RT?? There's the rub. Jerry or Hart, maybe? Obviously, we need some better olineman.
 
I played CB, QB, WR, KR, and RB, so oline is certainly not my strong suit of knowleadge, others on here are much more qualified than me, when it comes to the lineman.

Just spit balling ideas ,working with who we currently have on the roster. Losing Williams early really hurt.

No way we could of took him lol

The Steelers traded up in front of us. Cannot believe some on here don't remember this.

Thought it was really dumb of them too.

Bush couldn't tackle near as well as White or Pratt.

He is purely a pass rushing LB.

Cannot wait to see Mixon truck his ass.

Hart is our RT Coach. Jordan is our LG. Miller is our RG with Price in to back up all the inside positions.

The Line has pass protected very well at least the top guys have. This is what you want to see in Preseason.

If the Line was good at run blocking and terrible in pass protection I would be worried.

This was probably the most vanilla Preseason I have ever seen from us. We won't know anything until next Sunday.

Wrong on both points

Bush was no available when we picked

Davis was taken in round #6, not round 5
