Morale is high in Cincinnati, where the Bengals have finally put together what seems like an above-average offensive line.

It feels weird even typing that after poor Joe Burrow has had to deal with terrible lines for most of his career.

But now the star QB might have the type of advantage Andy Dalton had for most of his tenure with the Bengals.

Orlando Brown Jr. is solid, if not borderline elite. Amarius Mims is a rising star. Ted Karras can still get it done. Dylan Fairchild might be the steal of the 2025 Draft. And now they add a proven vet in Dalton Risner.

That’s a good, potentially very good, offensive line.

The most excited we’ve been about a Bengals OL in some time.

OT – Brown, Mims, Ford
OG – Risner, Fairchild, Rivers, Patrick
OC – Karras, Lee

Vets with strengths in pass blocking combined with high-upside recent draft picks that also have strengths in pass blocking.

Let’s go. https://t.co/344HPMpFZ9

Well done, Katie Blackburn and company.

This might be the first time since 2015 that the offensive line wasn’t a weakness of the team.

What do you think?
