I think that, combined with the fact that Ogbuehi had never had a healthy training camp in his career, gave the team a false sense of hope. They were just guilty of using the same logic that so many people around here employ when discussing how the past controls the future. "Since it has not happened yet it will never happen."
And the Bengals under PA had a history of excelling in pass pro not "struggles".
The run game results had been weak for a decade+. That alone should be enough to get canned. Add in the 41 sacks allowed in 2016, and it definitely should've been enough. Ignorance is no excuse. They're not fans, they're professionals getting paid to do this.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
