The Bengals TEs in particular only pass blocked 78 times. That includes Hurst, Wilcox, Asiasi, and Sample. Wilcox had the most pass blocks with 37.
Compare that to the run blocking counts - 591. The TE with the most run blocking snaps was also Wilcox at 285.
By comparison, here were the pass blocking snaps for Bengals RBs:
Perine - 66
Mixon - 64
Williams - 4
Evans - 2
-----------------
Total - 136
Among all RBs, Perine and Mixon were 11th and 12th when it comes to number of pass block snaps.
That shows just how much the Bengals want the RB to pass block.
Had the Bengals used the same RB instead of splitting between them, it would have put them 2nd among all RBs, with just Dalvin Cook having more (140).
So if we're looking to focus on blocking for both TEs and RBs for the Bengals, we should focus more on run blocking for TEs and pass blocking for RBs.
Great post Ocho and thanks for the numbers there. Sounds about right to me. Shouldn't have your TE's pass blocking often, I was
more talking about run blocking anyways and screen blocking where even our WR's are asked to block a lot. Yeah, need a TE that can
run block and a RB that can pass block for sure. Darnell Washington and Chase Brown are about the best at this at their respective
positions in this Draft.
Was surprised Trayveon only had 4 snaps pass blocking, I know I saw him make one great block on a blitz pickup last year.
