I've heard OG is a number 2 LT now, but there's no way we actually move on from Whitworth.

Is there?

No.


Og isn't good enough to be accomodated likes that.

Your'e nuts.

I thought he was gonna sit behind Whit for a year or two. I was a little surprised when they put him in at RT.

Cedric may just be a case of Paul Alexander, aka Piano Man, aka Tackle Whisperer, aka Lineman Guru, trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Going to have to draft that guy this year and beg him to not retire yet.

The only other reason why they could have done that is because they know that McCarron is gone next year. If he doesn't leave then I'm going to think it's the former and not the latter.

I hope we keep Zeitler to go with Bodine and Boling...That gives us OG and Fisher at tackle...You know this is  a team that carries 4 tight ends.  That is a luxury we may have to say good bye to....Just looking at Bengals O Line depth  other than Whit and Winston we have Westermann and TJ Johnson...This is why I want an O Lineman in Round 1 or Round 2.  ...I think we can get a great LB in round 1 though.....but the number one rule of coaching football is : PROTECT THE QUARTERBACK. ...Everything else is secondary.....Keeping your QB out of the hospital is the coaches primary objective. ...I would draft a true Left Tackle, a pass blocking LT as much Munoz like as possible.  If I can get a good LT in round one, then I take LB in round 2.

Mike Brown has us in a mess on free agency.  Whitworth, Zeitler, Kirkpatrick all become free agents in 3 weeks, plus others....I'm telling you, Thanks to Mike Brown, this team could get a lot worse than 5-7-1 record.....You can only franchise tag one player.  We could use about 3 or 4 franchise tags. ....Why Zeitler wasn't resigned before this season I do not know.  Mike Brown is an idiot....Mike Brown passes on the top guard to draft Kirkpatrick. Steelers draft the top guard but when we draft Zeiler we say he was the one we wanted anyway. Now just a couple years later both top draft picks are not even sighed and becoming free agents.  What a waste of a draft that will be. MIKE BROWN IS AN IDIOT....Oh, there goes that extra pick for Carson also. You can wright off the great move Mikey made on that if we lose both this early.
