WTF?

Willie Anderson was here 12 years.  Whitworth for 11.  Bobbie Williams was here until he was 35 (8 years with Bengals).  Levi Jones only played 7 years for the Bengals but he was under contract for 2 more years when he wore out.  All of those O-linemen were here as long or longer than any recent QB or WR.  Zeitler is the only good O-lineman in the last decade who did not get a second contract from the Bengals and it was because the Browns over paid to get him.

It wasn't worded precisely......but what he meant was the oline was good, wasn't replaced adequately soon enough, got the QBs pummeled for a few seasons.  It's the same thing that happened at the end of Palmer's tenure, and it's happened again. Some retired, got hurt, left in FA, etc.  Nate just summarized.....

That said, the team this time had a plan, and were actually proactive, they just failed miserably with their draft picks.  We're on round two of the line rebuild because of those horrible picks, jury is out on Price, and Williams is hurt. Our newish Gs aren't very good, Ced may have been the worst T I've seen in professional football, and Fisher couldn't beat him out.
