I will again say that I think we have finally reached the day where Mike Brown is not calling all the shots as for 3 decades. He would have never paid for the Center and Guard being brought in, he felt those as low wage positions. The Play-Offs wins to Super Bowl, this Front Office has Changed. It was long over due. Change has to start at the TOP down. This team for decades could not change from the water boy on up.  Too many things good are happening on Bengals for me not to feel the Front Office has finally made positive changes. I don't know if it is Katey Blackburn or Paul Brown Jr, or Tobin, but somebody that knows what they are doing seems to be now behind the wheel, and it was long over due.  That they are letting The Head Coach, The Coaches, The Quarterback have more of a say in this team is a huge change from how this franchise has ran the last 30 years. I LOVE IT.  GO BENGALS.

Bringing in Hayden to add to Sample at TE and keeping Bates opens up more moves on new O Line and D Line Players.  The Bengals are on record as saying they are far from done on BULKING UP the O Line and D Line.  More players to be added there very soon.

Add La-El Collins who has played Left Guard and Right Tackle for the Dallas Cowboys.  Add him to 2 time Super Bowl Center for New England Patriots, Ted Karras.  Add in Alex Cappa who has been a proven Right Guard in the NFL for Tampa Bay.  Bengals already have Jonah Williams at Left Tackle.  Probably Collins to Right Tackle.  This leaves LEFT GUARD to fill, and Bengals have returning O Linemen and may add more if Free Agency or Draft.  

The Bengals meant it when they said they were going to BULK UP on O Line and D Line.  They are not done yet.  Still more Free Agency and NFL Draft to go. 

However if some rare athlete is there at the end of Round 1 who in not an O Lineman or D Lineman, Bengals could now take him.  Really depends who is still there at pick 31.  A RB better than Perine in Round 1 to help Mixon or in case Mixon gets injured. Many teams have more than one Top Notch RB because fatigue and injuries happen. OR maybe a SAFETY is the best on the boards late in 1.  OR it could be a D Lineman or an O Lineman.  Not knowing who will be BEST AVAILABLE ATHLETE at end of Round 1, Bengals are getting much BLOCKING in FREE AGENCY. 

Burrow, the most sacked quarterback in 2021 and sacked until badly injured in 2020  It is right that blockers need replaced or fired, and an attempt to bring in better blockers. The Bengals lost the Super Bowl because The Rams D dominated the Bengals O Line in the 4th quarter. The Bengals O Line hung in there at first in the game, but the Rams just wore Bengals O Line down. If Burrow not being thrown to the turf as blocks missed, He could have moved the ball down field to tie and win the Super Bowl. The whole world saw Bengals weakness in that game. Bengals are making huge steps to fix the problem and also keep their star quarterback from getting killed.

GO BENGALS
