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.

The O-line coach Turner said we was good on the O-line that he was happy with the guys we had in the offseason. 

I seen Hopkins block the left guards guy and push him to the left side creating a huge hole in the center of the line like Price use to do. So Price playing right guard had to lunge for that guy that Hopkins should of been blocking and more or less just chipped him and slowed him down. I am not happy with the play of any of our O-linemen this year so far. The only one I give a pass to is Jonah Williams since this is his rookie year. I know we can not replace them all that is why Hopkins does not get as much call outs as the rest he messes up the least. When Price we back to the huddle he pointed his finger at someone and they showed the replay right after that and it was the center fault. Before you all roast me I thought the same thing most of you are thinking now Price is the last one that should be pointing fingers but in that case he was correct.

P.S. I think it is more of a coaching issue then player issue in most cases or blocking scheme.
