Even if we don't resign Lewis, which is a long shot, you think brown will hire a coach worth anything?  Not hardly. 

Screw up the draft?  Doubtful.  

Will Brown hire a coach worth anything - absolutely.  He hired one of the hottest coordinators in the game last time.  I bet he does it again..

Fix the o line, and you have a top team in the afc again... and coaching

There is no fixing this crappy O-line, nobody on the roster is good enough

There is no fixing it, but they can go out and make trades for a bandaid player. There has to be a backup tackle somewhere that is an immediate upgrade over CedO. And if need be put Andre back at right tackle where he knows how to play. Because Fisher isnt looking like anything special either.

But the Bengals dont operate like that, making trades in the season to make the team better because a player sucks. So yeah, there is no fixing this o-line because the Bengals are too stubborn to admit it needs fixing during the season.

Brandon Albert is out there... a little blurb on him.

In part due to missing four games with injury, Albert had the worst season of his career in 2016 with a PFF grade of 49.0 and saw his pass blocking efficiency slip to 94.1 after finishing with 97.0 in 2015. From 2011 through 2015, Albert ranked among the top ten tackles in pass blocking efficiency, and his career best PFF grade occurred in 2014 with a grade of 89.0 that ranked fourth among all tackles.

Nick mangold is out there... a little blurb on him.

Mangold didn’t allow a sack and surrendered five total pressures across eight games in an injury-shortened season.
Mangold isn’t the player he once was, but has surrendered only one sack over the past four seasons.


They could have signed both and had enough time to bring hem
Up to speed to at least be better than ced & bodine.

There are 2 centers, 2 guards, and 2 tackles all free agents that I think a team would sign before whoever we put at RG, bodine and ced ( if they were also on the market).

Help is it there, but bengals have to want help first.

Why look forward to it?  Nothing will be different.

Only if Fatboy is tied to a chair, blindfolded and gagged when the picks are made.  Can we find a LT who needs no coaching?
