That or a prime-career linebacker instead of the token broken down nag SLB they signed almost yearly.
This. IN 2011 they pretty much admitted they needed an upgrade at OG when they signed Duce Latui, but when the deal fell apart because of a failed physical the Bengals never went out and signed anyone else.
We were lucky to find Boling in the 4th round, but he did not help until 2012.
