It is in a way more important than the tackles because pressure right up the middle is death to this type of strategy. The Bengals should know all about this as we have had big issues on the interior OL for a while. Trey Hopkins has FINALLY elevated our Center position to a form of decency but the Guard spots are still in flux.
I liked the XSF pick up and Jordan could improve into a decent Guard for us but this is truly still the main concern in my eyes.
Price just hasn't shown anything decent in the NFL yet so he doesn't seem to be the answer.
But it is not like LSU's interior O-line was great in pass protection either. I saw many times where Burrow had Defenders come
through the middle and Burrow would just avoid the rush and either take off or make the throw he was intending to anyways.
Still hoping for at least one more addition at Guard though in case cause this is still a concern.
