The Cincinnati Bengals got back on track with the win over Arizona last week, yet not everything was up to par where players and the team would like it.
Take, for example, the offensive line.
While the new-look unit had a solid overall day and continues to move in the right direction, there was a notable lapse on a few short attempts that really stood out in a bad way.
Just ask starting center Ted Karras, who called multiple failures to convert “and-one” scenarios against the Cardinals “embarrassing” for the unit, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
It just goes to show that even in a dominant-looking win, this is the type of locker room that will nitpick to seek improvement everywhere. And from an outsider’s perspective, the team has invested far too many resources in the offensive line lately to see it come up so short in close situations like that.
While guys like Jonah Williams have impressed while playing a new position, the quest for overall improvement starts against the Seahawks and carries into the coming weeks.
