A stud RB fixes a bunch of problems

Right now, every defence can virtually just send the DL after Burrow all game, because there's no need to respect our run game (outside of the occasional impressive burst from Chase Brown).

Unfortunately, planning has been Bengals 101 since Burrow got here. Rely on the star QB and WR to make it all happen. A rungame of any quality would take so much pressure off of the QB and we seemingly do nothing to try and make it work.

Keep dreaming, Kid. I've been hoping for a return of the Sam Wyche OL for many, many years. I've come to the conclusion that Mike Brown just doesn't see the value in building a team from the interior and then working outward. 

All they need to do is look at the historically successful coaches throughout history, they all had strong interior OLs, and defenses that were built from the middle out as well. If you spend your money on core players that can block and tackle well, you'll most likely win more than you lose, because 80% of the game takes place in the middle of the field.
