Let talk Tackles

TE's mostly Sample lining up next to Hart a lot. Would be nice to have a RT that can block on an island.

Hart is not as bad as some people say and he has gotten better every year but he is not a top RT like we need.

Hart is also getting paid very well, a little too well especially if we moved him inside to Guard as some have wanted.

He is a pretty good run blocker.

I just think we brought in new Guards last year and they struggled, this could change under Pollack and an entire
year in the system. Decent Guards are easier to find than top Tackles. I think Jonah could be a top Tackle but if we
draft Sewell I think he would be on the right side and Hart is being paid too much to be a backup IMO.

Both Joelist and Fredtoast are wrong....

With Burrow the Bengals ran alot of 5 man man protections leaving the offensive line on an island but Hart was one of the worst in pass blockers during that period giving up a ton of pressures and having one of the worst pass block win percentages in the NFL.
