From what I've seen from these two, they've done little to nothing to show that they can play tackle in the NFL.  They, as you have said in the past, look absolutely nothing like what we've come to know as a Bengals OT for almost the last 2 decades.  Fisher's reputation as being serviceable largely lives off of the fact that Ogbuehi got significant playing time before he did and was an abject failure. He gets by because he's not Cedric.  Otherwise, he's proven very little.  

My only hope for these two is that playing OT in the NFL is a major step up from college, and that they are capable of major improvement in the offseason.  

I'll blame PA more for drafting these guys than I will for failing to develop them if they don't pan out.

Oh no, make no mistake, Paul saw something in those guys that spoke to him.  He will turn Ogbuehi and Fisher into the dominant bookends that he envisioned when drafting them.  Honest.
