Sorry Brownshoe, I can't agree with this. If Og a/o Fisher play poorly it will affect the well being and health of others on the team E.g. QB. Also, other not-so-great players will try to compensate and we know that will not end well. See 2016.
I HOPE THEY PLAY WELL ALL SEASON.

Good thing Lap has been praising Og so far this year. Like i said, might not be as bad as some think.
Well that's good to hear because Lap always tells it like it is. Hasn't Willie Anderson been working with him too?

I seem to remember this same sentiment being expressed last year when Bodine and Ogbuehi looked like hot puke in the preseason. And then they regular season came and they looked like hot puke still...

The thing that sucks the most is that since Ced is a personal, hand-selected favorite of Alexander the Great, he has nothing to worry about. He'll always have a home on our OLine and AtG will continue to defend him and sing his praises and tell us ignorant fans that we don't know anything.

I checked and he did work with them. Dan Hoard tweeted it on August 8th. I would share the screenshot, but I can't figure out how to make pictures show up as anything other than a thumbnail.

Some of the greatest tackles in Bengals history (Willy Whit Lap Munoz) got ahold of Ced this offseason.
On a side note 2 of 4 of those guys were drafted and learned under PA...

I did see videos of Willie in camp working with linemen.

Cool.....was not aware. Thanks for sharing. Was this from this season? I remember Willie offering last season, but no one took him up on it?

Yeah. That was this year.

I do remember him (i'm pretty sure it's him) saying that in the past he's offered but the Bengals declined.

Yes he has and Og does look better than last year already especially in the run game.
Would be awesome if Willie became our new O-line coach after this season.
If he wanted to that is.

How well does he play the piano?
On a serious note, I would totally be on board with this.

I thought so....and maybe it was someone else.....possibly, the Piano Man has softened as of late....or might, dare I say, think his ass is on the line and needs all the help he can get!

Sure was refreshing that is all i know.
If either Willie, Munoz or Lap could be our next O-line coach this team could make a push for the whole thing IMHO.
So many weapons and this Defense will be good. First Preseason game and Sims and MJ were starting, this will change.
When Billings and the best DE out of Willis, Smith and Clarke start we will be much better on Defense.
Minter is still getting his feet wet, he will be better. Burfict looked like he was taking it easy on Mike Evans, didn't want to
knock him the hell out in a meaningless preseason game. Dennard had good coverage on the big Evans catch down the
sideline and that play wouldn't of happened if we had a MJ and Sims replaced by the better pass rushers IMO.
