For now. That dead period will be here before you know it and it'll be a [BLEEP].

I don't think our quartet of Lawrence, Kirk, Ridley and Jones are as good as the Bengals' quartet of Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Boyd.
Last year, it wasn't close.
I think the addition of Ridley puts us in the conversation if he is the receiver he was pre suspension and he's healthy. Throw Engram into the mix, it gets more interesting.

We have a true #1 WR in Ridley, who despite the skill and high production we got out of Kirk, Zay and Engram, the group is even better now. We have more weapons than the 2017 Eagles team that Doug has, and that is scary. We could have an all-time offense this year. I hope it doesn't take too long to get going. How far we go depends on the defense and staying healthy. Then you have people in the backfield that can hurt you in the pass game as well. The window is open for us to accomplish big, BIG things. Hope there's no sophomore slump for Doug.

I agree our offense SHOULD be good with the skill players we have.. That is if we have a passable O-line.

Best cast scenario on the offensive line: Little continues the transition back to LT he began late last year and continues to play as well as he did last year-only better, while Harrison displays the feet and nastiness needed to successfully and immediately transition to RT and the starting five stay healthy. Robinson returns from suspension in shape and eager to help, even if it means sliding inside to LG (something he has been averse to doing until now). We get a surprise contribution from one of the lower drafted rookies. All of these factors and more combine to make this a start of a prolonged Super Bowl run.

Lots of ways things could pan out for the OL this season.
The biggest thing they have going for them is great coaches who know how to utilize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. It does limit Lawrence to a degree when the line's blocking issues must be mitigated, but maybe we'll see less of that this year.
Little will be fine if he picks up where he left off
LG is a crapshoot. Didn't really address it in offseason, so we cross our fingers Bartch or an unexpected challenger are up to it.
Center is all Fortner and we pray his experience and offseason training add up to a year 2 improvement. Despite not giving up sacks, he gave up lots of pressure last year.
RG should be sold with Scherff and we cross our fingers he stays healthy.
RT is reliance on a rookie and that can go a lot of different ways.
If these guys can play above average ball as a unit, we have a powerhouse offense. If these guys struggle or don't stay mostly healthy, our impressive roster of skill players won't achieve their full potential of production.

Quartet should be QB,WR, TE, and RB. Not sure a team can beat Trev, Ridley, Engram, and Etienne
