Bengals last year were 6th in Points For, 9th in Total Yards.
There's room to grow, as they were not Top 3 nor Top 5.
They were top marks in passing, but I would argue that was IN SPITE OF the OL, as the Bengals allowed 48 sacks last year, which was 12th most in the league.
In a heavy passing offense, you should want as much pass protection as possible to protect the QB, and being bottom half of the league in sacks allowed is not good.

Why are you touting up Volson, who is now going into his 4th year and has not shown to be even solid performance his first 3 years and got benched in favor of Cody Ford of all people partway through last year?
I've given up on the dude.

Who do you see as the RG that is going to put up solid-or-better performance?
And what I consider solid around 25 or less total pressures and 4 or less sacks allowed.
Volson allowed 6 sacks and 43 total pressures last year.
Cody Ford allowed 5 sacks and 37 total pressures last year.
Lucas Patrick only allowed 10 total pressures and 0 sacks on 330 pass blocking snaps last year, but he didn't play a single snap at RG.
The last time Patrick played significant snaps at RG, it was 2020 (5 years ago).
Patrick is probably the best hope to cover RG from a pass protection standpoint, but it's been a minute, and he's currently injured, so there's natural worry there.

How do you have so much faith and confidence in things?
