Sometimes the Bengals’ offense will struggle. The Ravens’ defense is built specifically to stop Joe Burrow, period, and last night Joe said this is normal AFC North football. My personal belief is the ramshackle offensive line did an admirable job against one of the toughest run and pass defenses in the NFL.
Amen.
Look, it looks like we are gonna have to roll with Karras, Volson, Sharping, Adeniji, Carman + Smith, T. Hill, and Prince as our 8 active lineman this week.
But the running game has been crap since Collins got hurt, before Cappa went down. And that is against teams playing 2 deep safeties ALL the time.
Being able to run the ball unlocks the offense. It is a weak OL draft. Not many plug & play guys at OT beyond the top 3. The best OG guy plays Cappa's spot. And unless we let some real quality guys walk, we do not have the cap space to sign an upgrade. Jonah has a dead cap number if $12+ mil, so he is here next year.
