Thanks again Ted,

Not a problem. Next time I need a little Bengals analysis I know who to call.

And the pass blocking of the Steelers line is not a negative? Last year they eneded up in a tie for 7th in terms of giving up the most sacks in the league. And thats with a QB in Big Ben that is ridiculously good at moving away from pressure. Pass blocking should be at least as important as run blocking, if not more. Thats why the left OT is now one of the higest paid positions in the game. And we are more of a pass focused offense than the steelers, so it would make sense that our line is not as good at run blocking.

I’m sorry, I know I am being annoying, I just dont agree with the assesment and I think the Bengals have an extremely underated O-line. The vast majority of fans that come into Cincy will try and tell me that our O-line sucks when they know nothing about it, and it has just become a bit of a sore spot for me.

Thanks Ted,

You make a good point. Consider it noted. Although the run blocking is a BIG negative and perhaps the reason Dave put them it that spot.

Thanks for stopping. Have a good one.

The Bengals should be up one spot. Not just based on the fact that they were in the top 3 in fewest sacks per pass last year, but also based on their depth. When you have Stacy Andrews (and you should have a note here somewhere since he could be starting over Whitworth, no one knows yet) as your number one backup (or Whitworth), its a damn good line. Yes, run blocking could be better, but its not bad enough to drop us to #3 in the conference.

What’s up, Goat? Looks like you’re still doing top notch work. Breaking down offensive lines? That’s thorough. Awesome stuff. We can’t compete, but we relaunched anyway for ‘08. We’ll be following closely.
