And Whitworth was a bit different, as the Bengals had Levi Jones and Willie Anderson as their starting OTs for Whit's first few years. Whit had an extra year of grooming compared to Ogbuehi and was already a starter at LG in which he played very well, so we had more hope he could transition. The Bengals were lucky they went from one stalwart LT to another very good LT.
However, Ogbuehi has been bad both years he's been in the lineup and now is practically forced into LT because there's no one better. Given his previous performance, I simply lack hope.
Both years?
Come on man, he was injured his rookie year. How many games did he play in coming off major surgery in January?
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
