Couple of years back I would have said Zeitler all the way would be re-signed and DreK walks. Especially as Dennard was drafted R1...

Now I think the bigger impact right now would be to lose Drek so if it was one i would resign him. 

To be honest if we're putting money down on the OLine right now I would look at the RT options as if that stays an issue next year then even having John Hannah as your OG is not gonna stop dalton getting blasted by edge rushers. Can't believe we can eke another decent year out of Winston.

I would prefer to keep Zeitler too but its all about the cash....unfortunately we've got so many holes so its about priorities.  

Damn...it would be a lot simpler if Fisher and/or Ced miraculously show some improvement.  Would give us so much more flexibility in rebuilding DE/LB

I think this has become a more common trend with OTs in the NFL.  They simply don't run NFL schemes and aren't prepared whatsoever when they come in.  It is as though the Bengals just drafted the best prototypical athletes at the position and think they can teach them how to play.  Risky proposition, and they did it with both tackles. 

I think, to be fair to Ced, that his injuries and lack of any camps have really hurt him.  

Part of my frustration of it all is instead of helping him with a TE, they usually put him out there and let him get destroyed.  Maybe he should just sit and watch Winston for a while.  He sure isn't learning by getting dusted time and time again.
