If you're basing that 6th best stuff off PFF, you need to take that with a grain of salt, man. They named the Bengals the 13th best OL in the NFL in 2016, I believe.
If you watched games and thought that they were the 13th best OL while being incapable of both run or pass blocking, then you're right, you and I are watching a different game.
I am not going off PFF, really just ballparking to get some type of assemblance of our best players and justify if they
should get paid or not according to are they some of the best at their position.
I totally agree with you that the line was garbage this year, and the only reason they are 13th is because they padded their offensive line stats the last couple of weeks. Realistically that ranking should be a lot worse. I have said that in most posts, but most of that was due to the two lumps of shat on both sides of Zietler, and Boling to some extent.
If you want to improve the line, you might want to start with RT, C, LG, instead in that order. Letting Zeitler walk would be a huge mistake. He didn't give up a sack two years ago, few last year, hasn't missed a game since drafted
So how far would you drop Kevin Zeitler? I would put him somewhere in between Decastro and the GB Guards.
