The fans are fickle idiots with zero patience and no knowledge of what plays out in practice to influence the coaching decisions. Second, the Bengals have gone against the status quo this season by playing all the young guys that have gotten significant snaps this season. And with that have made other non-status quo moves like moving Michael Johnson inside to DT, and rotating the OTs. 

The fans saw the OL has bad last year and so did just about everyone else. Just because they are fans doesn't mean they were wrong.

The changes from the status quo you are referring to are mostly on defense. True, Mixon has had the majority of the carries, but he's the only one from that side of the ball. Ross has done nothing and was benched in his only appearance. I am happy that the newly drafted guys are getting in there early.
