Bengals haven't done enough to address O-line problems.

Yes they fixed that one area but what about the rest?

I really hope the Bengals management dont think they have done enough to fix the problems with the O-line.  Like I said it is still very early and lots of things could happen but how many years has this line been bad and Bengals management thought they did enough to fix it, when it was clear to most of us fans the line was still a problem?  As of right now, it is still a problem.

It's not. If people keep lookings at grades only, you're not getting anywhere near the real picture. Karras' pass block efficiency is higher and pressure numbers are significantly lower than Hop's. 

At Center in 2020, Karras; 1,068 snaps, 2 sacks, 1 hit, 8 hurries, 11 pressures for a 99.0 PBE. 
At Center in 2021, Hopkins; 1,185 snaps, 5 sacks, 3 hits, 14 hurries, 22 pressures for a 98.1 PBE. 

I'm not sure what the win rate's are between them. Hopefully someone else can post this.
