What people should not expect though is a dominant OL.

This OL mixed with the elite pass catchers and hopefully an improved defense should get this team around middle-of-the-pack in terms of record.

All Teams had strengths and weaknesses. Ravens awesome offensive line geared towards running game. Yet they don't have an elite WR group, just average and have a great TE

Bengals have an elite throwing QB throwing to an elite 3 WR set in Chase, Higgins and Boyd. Their OL was bad running and in pass protection in 2020. An average OL means better passing and run games adding Chase to the trio and Burrow hopefully all 16 games. Our new RT allowed 1 sack in 2020, that is huge.

Our offense will be much better in 2021, but still wish we would add Ertz to help entire offense.
