I wonder if situational line play should make a comeback. Guards used to rotate in every snap, relaying the play from the sideline. Center is tricker to rotate because of the snapping issue.

But situational line play could be a way to get Jordan more snaps.

Correct on these.

Spain is also a good pass blocker.

Given the offense is more of a passing offense (57.46%), pass blocking would seem more important than run blocking at the moment.

It's worth noting that while Hart was definitely not good pass blocking early in the season, he's improved as the season has gone on.
BJ Finney has also been a rather good pass blocker on the limited snaps he's played in SEA.

So if the Bengals start all of Williams, Spain, Hopkins, XSF, and Hart, they would have decent-or-better pass blockers at every position.
You could rotate in Price and Jordan on obvious run situations if/when you wanted.
