Our line basically stands straight up on running plays and kinda just catches/gets in the way of the D. They're not the aggressor in other words.

Watch the two plays near the end of the first TD drive in the GB game, both Mixon runs. Bodine gets driven right into the lane Mixon is trying to hit. it's like he's just trying to be an obstacle, not really block ?

Perhaps Sunset or Royal or whomever can elaborate ?

Bodine is awful and has been for three years. It is ridiculous that he remains our starting center and it is even more ridiculous that Alexander has not even attempted to find competition for Bodine. If people wonder why Andy does not handle pressure well, having your center thrown back in your face during the majority of your career on most plays does not breed confidence in a QB.

Marv and Alexander are responsible for the drafting of Bodine, Og and Fisher. They should be held accountable for the complete mess that exists on one of the worst o lines in the league. Having cut 4 or 5 draft picks this year, it is mind boggling that Bengals repeatedly refuse to  draft anyone to compete with Bodine or use a higher pick in 2017 to draft a quality tackle or guard. Beyond unbelievable.
