Ogbuehi Showed A Lot Of Improvement

We saw last year what happens when multiple OL play poorly (Bodine and Ogbuehi). I don't expect Bodine to get really any better compared to last year, as he sure hasn't shown much improvement so far this preseason. So the Bengals need both of their OTs and RG to at least be serviceable if there's any hope of making the playoffs. It's hard to expect that all three would do that this year, which is why I predict the Bengals just miss on the playoffs.

I think having a run game will mask the deficiencies of the offensive line because Mixon will keep them honest and prevent them from just teeing off on the pass rush.

I also think that Andy just making three-step drops, as we saw in the preseason, will also help to keep him safe.

You can't always do that and the line does need to step-up their play, but I think we can squeak into the playoffs.
