When talking about the offense most around Paul Brown Stadium have been quietly optimistic heading into 2021. Here are five players that could take the next step, ascend this season and earn their first Pro Bowl selection.

No one can break down the game of Jonah Williams better than the Bengals left tackle himself. At one time or another since they took him in the first round two years ago, the cerebral, diligent Williams has been, among other things, an Opening Day starter, an advance scout and a sideline confidant at practice for his offensive line mates. So take note of his observations from last season's NFL debut because he has already taken them to heart.

Think back to last month's game in Baltimore when the Bengals offensive line hit the depths. When they return to Maryland to play Washington Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati's Local 12), their front has suddenly found depth with a brew of intriguing possibilities. Maybe the most interesting is they've got two good young left tackles playing their first seasons. 

With so little work on the field compared to past seasons, offensive line coach Jim Turner indicated the offense is still trying to find out what it can do best. It's the first of October and the offensive line continues to chase after that chemistry that's so elusive even when they have a spring and pre-season games.

Starting with Chargers sack ace and old friend Joey Bosa.

Reflect and transform. Those are big themes for the second-year of the Bengals offense. Head Coach Zac Taylor is excited about the possibilities after a first year of learning and reflecting about the good and bad from 2019.

According to Elias, for the first time since 2015, when another overall No. 1 pick, Jameis Winston, teamed with Donovan Smith in Tampa Bay, a rookie quarterback is lining up with basically a rookie left tackle in the opener. That would be the Bengals' Joe Burrow and Jonah Williams. But they won't have a preseason ... If reports are true and the Bengals are on the verge of signing vet defensive tackle Mike Daniels, they got an assist from their new linebackers coach.

There is Joe Burrow and then there is Jonah Williams, the first tackle taken in the 2019 draft with the 11th pick who lost last year to injury. If you've forgotten why the Bengals took him, offensive line coach Jim Turner hasn't."I feel as good about Jonah Williams as I did the day we drafted him," says Turner of his first draft choice as the Bengals line coach.
