Ranking the coaches

[Joelist]

I still think a lot of the historical issue is the Bengals not drafting linemen with system compatibility in mind. They USED to do that but you could even see where they started going away from it and it was the Ogbuehi pick. Add in the instability in the run scheme (flipping between wide zone, power gap and who knows what else) doesn't help nor does the general OL unfriendliness of our offensive schemes of late.

Hopefully now with all 5 starters being good in the same type of run scheme and with the evidence we saw in some games last year that Zac is starting to move the offense to something less liable to letting defenses tee off we will see good things. Also going from one of the worst backs in football at breaking/evading tackles to one of the better ones who also is a good pass blocker is a positive.
