Og is very talented he just doesn't have it yet. Hopefully he watches some film on how he has been engaging defenders.

Winston played well fortunately.

I am for bringing back Anthony Collins, he is not a good run blocker of course but he is very good in pass protection.

Unless the Bengals are participating in the Olympics soon , OG n Hunt are kinda worthless as far as football players

While he was better at RT than LT in college, his strengths and weaknesses indicate he is likely a better fit at LT for the NFL, as he has very good reflexes, speed, and athleticism to handle speed rushers. His primary weakness mentioned in multiple scouting reports was that he needed more strength to handle anchoring and getting push in the ground game. It's also mentioned that his technique could use some work.

With that said, Fisher isn't a prototypical RT either. So maybe we see a prototypical RT drafted in the 2017 draft (unfortunately).

Im still not 100% sure Ogbuehi was ever healthy this year, that is honestly the only explanation I can come up with for his poor play.

If not, then this is a big deal...

But to my knowledge, they drafted both so they could be their starting offensive tackles in the future. You need to let your young players play. They made this bed, now they have to lay in it.

My thing is, where was Fisher? You drafted two offensive tackles back to back. Winston has gotten his reps. It's time to see what Fisher has already.

Plus, I like Fisher at RT more than Ogubehi at RT.

Actually. I like Fisher more than Ogubehi. Always have. Ogubehi was not a good pick in any way. Had one good season and then terrible the next.

One quote from Boling was pretty interesting. He mentioned that he struggled one year and pretty much had to rough his way through the whole season. Then Paul Alexander was able to point out some things that helped him greatly after the season ended. Boling said that Alexander can't really coach guys up while the season is going.

I would be interested to know why. Seems like it'd be easy to coach a guy up and make a couple tweaks to his technique during the season, instead of letting him continually get killed through the year.
