This Oline should be swiss cheese against our DLine. The key to this game will be getting to Palmer before he can unload the ball deep to his superior receivers. Our DLine should have a really nice push against an inexperienced and injury depleted Oline.

The Cincinnati Bengals, who used only two different starting offensive line groups in 2005, will be forced to go to their sixth combination in 10 games this season when they face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

For a little hint on how devestating this can be for an offense, take a look at Florida State the past few years.

We can't just assume that just because a guy doesn't have much experience that he is going to suck. Lock at what happened when Brown was hurt for us. A rookie stepped in and did an outstanding job. This may just be an opportunity for a future starter to get his shot. Saying that, I hope he stinks it up and our D-line puts enough pressure for us to get a few INTs. haven't seen one of those in a while.

True. But if you continue to shuffle an injured o-line and don't have that time meshing and "playing off" each other, etc. - you're going nowhere fast.
