We have a Top Defense, no doubt about that. This Defense should make the play-offs again
We have Andy Dalton at QB who in his first 6 seasons put up very good numbers and is only Bengals QB ever to lead team to 5 straight play-off seasons including his rookie year. He has been in Pro Bowl a few times. I would rank him behind only Ken Anderson and Boomer Esiason in Bengals QB History, and he is closing in on them. So we have a QB and a decent back up in McCarron.
We have AJ Green, and Brandon LaFell and Ross and Boyd and Core and Eifert to throw to.
We have Mixon added to Hill and Bernard to run the ball.
BUT....How do we throw the ball or run the ball if Defenses are coming through our SWISS CHEESE OFFENSIVE LINE as soon as the ball is snapped. With no blocking, you can't run the ball or pass the ball. None of the X's and O's of the playbook work with no blocking
That's the KEY coming up very soon in preseason. Do we have Blocking or don't we ???.....Can we replace Whitworth and Zeitler and what is Andre Smith doing right back, was he that bad with another team or what ???....IF WE HAVE BLOCKING, WE CAN GO SUPER BOWL......WITH NO BLOCKING, WE MIGHT WIN 4 GAMES AND FINISH LAST. ....IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO BLOCKING. BENGALS ARE LOADED EVERYWHERE ELSE. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO BLOCKING THIS PRESEASON. Hopefully come September we have Blocking. It would be a shame to waste such a good team at every other position due to no blocking.
