First, when you have a chance to land a generational talent like Burrow, why wasn't improving the o line the top priority this off season?

It makes no sense whatsoever to franchise a WR at $18 million- regardless of how much we all love him and appreciate his efforts, instead of using that money to buy 2 or 3 quality o linemen to protect your future.

I mean, honestly, what are the Brown family thinking??? Are they really this clueless???

The whole future of this franchise and staying in Cincinnati depends on protecting your future- and Burrow is the one and only hope for the future of this franchise.

Second, is Billy Price the slowest reacting lineman to ever play for the Bengals or at least in the top 5. He looked pathetic last year and this year guys are still making moves and blowing right by him.

How was this not appreciated before drafting him in first round.

How management did not appreciate the lack of quality on the o line but did nothing to address after getting Burrow is mind boggling.

Back then, Price played on an Ohio St team that primarily ran the ball or had extremely quick throws which didn't require him to do much other than drive off the ball. He won All-American doing that. Also, he only played C one year. Last, Price fit more of what the OL coach at the time (Pollack) wanted to do with the offense, which is drive off the ball. It's why Price had his best year under Pollack.

Flat out, Price is not a fit in this offensive and OL scheme.
