Hobson's Choice: O-Line Ode And Other Openings
I think the Bengals have attacked the problem aggressively. They made sure that new head coach Zac Taylor, the guy crafting the scheme and calling the plays, has an offensive line in sync with the playbook when he hired long-time colleague Jim Turner to coach the position. That’s harder than it sounds. Their last two first-round picks have gone right to the heart of it in center Billy Price and left tackle Jonah Williams. And for the first time in history back in April they traded back up into a round to grab Ohio State guard Michael Jordan, the last of the potential O-line starters staring at them in the fourth round.
