For the life of me I don't understand where the thought process is on this.

1) Protect the most important asset this team acquired in over a decade Joe Burrow. Protect Protect Protect your most valuable asset!!

2) If I was the head coach and offensive play caller on the team I would want to make sure I had an offensive line that would allow for my plays to develop and I could actually open up my playbook. If my QB is getting sacked 2 seconds after snap, those plays are going to be very limited with he lack of time for plays to develop into something.

3) Mike Brown's stubbornness hasn't mellowed over the years. I cant tell you how off-putting it was for him to put the Bengals failures there past two offseasons on the fans. "You asked for change and hear it is" What kind of bullshit talk is that from a person who controls the team?


I think Chase is going to be a great player, the Bengals had options and feel if they were going after Chase all along they should've done more in FA to acquire a proven offensive lineman. Reiff was a good pickup but signing a 32 year old isn't close to enough fixing this line. 


And I'm not going to even start with them keeping Lou Anarumo around for another season, I don't know what crack pipe was up the front offices ass on the decision keeping him around for a 3rd season after his previous 2 outings as a DC. Ridiculous.

As usual, I'm right there with ya. This team taking Chase over Sewell was like a kid reaching past his broccoli to grab a snickers bar. Sure, it's more exciting, but was it really better for us? And I could've justified that if we'd gone full bore into free agency to fix the line. We didn't.

And yes, Sweet Lou is what we thought he was, and we let him off the hook. Again. Oh, and Zac has shown nothing. Went 2-7-1 with Joe Burrow. But hey, those new jerseys with Chase #1 will look siiiick.
