I am not an expert on OL play so could someone provide factual info on how the OL played in the last 6 games or in games with Glenn versus games without him?
It appeared using the eye test they did improve significantly once Glenn came back. If so, we do have a #1 pick already joining this group who can play LT or RT. We also added a Steeler's OL late in year who appeared to be decent with room to grow.
As I look at this objectively, I see WR as the #1 issue other than QB. That fades if we re-sign AJ Green in 2020 short term. So, I see LB as #1 need, then DL as #2, then DB or DL. But, OL could jump up if I was wrong about improvement last portion of year of OL.
But make no mistake, our defense to me is our biggest weakness. You can win with a top 15 offense, but to be great in my opinion you need a top 10 defense. Some will argue KC won, but KC also improved as the year went on and were much better by the playoffs.

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
