Didn’t they also spend a lot of money on the offensive line? Jack Conklin (trying to remember off the top of my head but it was a guy from Tennessee). And maybe some others or draft picks too?

But on there it looked like a lot of him not playing 16 games was because he was a backup who then came in to fill in for another injured player.

Some of it was injuries, some of it was him being a backup.

Neither are comforting, and the injuries are definitely plentiful enough to be concerned about.

Callahan is an excellent o-line coach, there’s no doubt. Cleveland has also assembled a Top 3 o line. There’s arguably no Bengal that starts for Cleveland’s line. Cleveland has invested in their lines and voila, they’re a Playoff contender. The Bengals will not be a Playoff team until they improve their own lines.

I thought Hopkins was our worst olineman today and that's a good thing. For the last couple years he's been average and our best.

We really did not generate as well on line today ,mixon had alot of yards after contact , 5 sacks and just 366 yards in 4 1/2 quarters but we did better with bigger plays downfield and runs..but better improve for bears defense which is much better than minn. Very excited how Defense played with pressure on Cousins

I would argue Jonah Williams Riley rein could start on Cleveland line.

The problems we had with our line was not our tackles.
Hopkins is bad.  He really never was really good just better than what we have and.
Now that the RT and LT are secured defenses find a better place to get home.

Trey Hill may be our starting center by the end of the year.

I think Jackson Carmen and Treyn Hill will be starters by week 5-6.

Jonah would definitely start on that Cleveland OL. Wasn’t he the starting LT at Alabama when him and Wills were both there? Or am I off on the years?
