How much if it is personnel and how much is coaching?

I would address that with Thuney as a FA to play LG.  The left side of the Bengals offensive line becomes elite.  I draft Faalele and he is groomed to start behind Hart at RT, unless they feel he is ready to start week 1.  I would rather keep Hart to start the season but that point can be debated.  I also hope they sign Spain to compete with a draft pick and XSF for the other G spot...probably wise to draft one that can play C since Hopkins injury.

The defensive side will have Wren, Tupou, and Reader back from injury/opt out.  They should extend Hunt, and draft a guy like Barmore or Twyman in Rd 2 for depth and competition in the middle.  

With both lines improved, the rest of the team will look much better, IMHO.

Indeed.

I gave the staff a pass for last season. The team was built to play Marv Ball, and I really think they were just evaluating the roster to see who would fit their vision, and who wouldn't. This past season I expected 7 or so wins. We didn't get there. Obviously there were several key injuries, including Joe, but I still feel like they should've done better. 

It's 9 wins or bust for me moving forward. Get above 500 or can the staff.
