Ted Karras on The Bengals Offensive Line: 'We're so Far Ahead of Where we Were Last Year'

Cincinnati is hoping to raise the offensive line play to a whole new level in 2023.
In this story:

CINCINNATI — The Bengals offensive line has just one new face taking over in 2023 but a couple of role changes as center Ted Karras works to get everybody on the same page this summer.

"We're so far ahead of where we were last year, especially from an O-Line perspective," Karras said to James Rapien. "We've only added one more (guy), we added four last year, and just procedurally everyone knowing their assignments. I mean, Orlando (Brown Jr.) has been easy, you know, easy install for a football coach. He's got a great football mind. I was watching the film last night. I just thought, man, we look really serious. We look really organized. And you know, I really liked the week of practice that we have."

That's music to Bengals fans' ears as the franchise looks to roll out the best offensive line since the team started 8-0 in 2015.

With Jonah Williams looking stronger and stronger by the day, that right tackle spot may be his to lose. Although, candidates like Jackson Carman and Cody Ford are going to do their best to unseat him.

Competition could breed excellence at that spot on top of the added comfortability for second-year players in the Bengals system like Karras, Alex Cappa, and (a bulked-up-looking) Cordell Volson.
