They weren’t good. They were average (and expensive - OBJ) and bad (but cheap - Wylie).
I’ll always love what they did against the Eagles, but we upgraded this offseason.
Can’t wait to listen to Bengals fans bitch about OBJ.

We don't know what we have with Donovan Smith yet and OBJ wasn't elite but certainly a better pass protector than many have given him credit for. Taylor will be an upgrade in pass pro over Wylie obviously. Both are going to be worse in the run game, which won't be the biggest issue but again isn't nothing.
Our OL should be broadly better at what we need it to do, and enough to pancake these Lions.
