Bengals still have a tackle problem

A win doesn’t cure all.

The Bengals stomped the Browns, 31-7, on Sunday. They’re 1-3 but the same flaws remain.

Tackle Jake Fisher gave up a strip sack. Andre Smith allowed three pressures (per Pro Football Focus). The tackle rotation still isn’t stable.

Fisher, in particularly, absorbed some hate.

Jake Fisher looked like he gave up that sack. Did I mention the Bengals have a tackle problem? I think I mentioned it once.

Jake Fisher, professional football player, simply did not move his feet until he was already beat. Just baffling.
