But on there it looked like a lot of him not playing 16 games was because he was a backup who then came in to fill in for another injured player.
Some of it was injuries, some of it was him being a backup.
Neither are comforting, and the injuries are definitely plentiful enough to be concerned about.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

OL coach is the most important position coach in football because OL play is so much about technique and communication. I think we will see what a shit coach Jim Turner is this season.
Callahan is an excellent o-line coach, there’s no doubt. Cleveland has also assembled a Top 3 o line. There’s arguably no Bengal that starts for Cleveland’s line. Cleveland has invested in their lines and voila, they’re a Playoff contender. The Bengals will not be a Playoff team until they improve their own lines.

I thought Hopkins was our worst olineman today and that's a good thing. For the last couple years he's been average and our best.

We really did not generate as well on line today ,mixon had alot of yards after contact , 5 sacks and just 366 yards in 4 1/2 quarters but we did better with bigger plays downfield and runs..but better improve for bears defense which is much better than minn. Very excited how Defense played with pressure on Cousins
