Cincinnati Bengals – Right tackle
I don’t think it’s very hard to point out the Bengals’ weaknesses last year. They needed to add to the linebacker level (as they did with the addition of former Bill Preston Brown) and nobody outside of A.J. Green has really proven to be a productive pass-catcher on that Cincinnati roster.
However, it has been that offensive line that has been killing this team since Andrew Whitworth went to L.A. last offseason. More specifically, the tackles were the ones, who performed at a sub-par level. Jake Fisher and Cedric Ogbuehi were embarrassed for the majority of last season, being rated lower than any other guys at the position, who started the majority of games on the year.
Cincy traded for the Bills’ Cordy Glenn, who can be a franchise left tackle, but he has had some serious injury concerns lately. Even if he stays healthy for 16 games, they will need to count on one of those starters from last year as their second book-end.
I always liked Fisher more than Ogbuehi, going back to their college days, and I think he could hang in there if Glenn mans down the left side and they give him some help, but I wouldn’t say that the Bengals are really happy with what they have at that spot either.
Bobby Hart was brought in once the Giants waived him. He could be a quality guy to carry on game day due to his position flexibility, but he’s no starter material either in my book. Like I said, I think this team can hang in there as long as they can slide to the right and help out Fisher by chipping his man with backs and tight ends, but once Glenn misses any time and they are forced to go back to their starting duo from last season, I’d be seriously worried.
