And Eric Steinbach was the guy that gave up the sack to Kim Von Oelhoffen that destroyed Carson Palmer's knee.
Maybe I just never fully understood how OL blocking works, but I never saw a huge deal in IOL athleticism unless having to block laterally or at the 2nd level.
If Bengals need/want their Guards to do a lot of that, it may make a difference, but if they're primarily staying home to pass block or driving north-south, guys like Booker would be perfectly fine.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
