I know they've had a lot of misses recently in the drafts.
The one notable difference is the Steelers will pay a Guard and Center big money and they try to retain most of their free agents. The Bengals let those guys go and hoped that draft picks would produce.
Thus we're bad. They're good.
The reality is that in today's NFL, the Center and Guards are just as important or even more important than the tackles.
I don't know why it's not talked about more.
When a QB is in the shotgun, the quickest line to the QB is up the gut.
When trying to run the ball, you have to have good interior play.
Our interior is garbage, which is why our running game sucks. Which is pretty sad, because Mixon seems to be doing a pretty good job getting yards (even if it's only 1 or 2) when there's nothing to be found.
