Bleacher Report Scouts Say we have a bottom 5 OT and Center
#1
I know it's weird considering anything from Bleacher Report to be legitimate, especially in terms of evaluation of talent, but hey, it's something to read.

They ranked Ogbuehi as the 3rd worst OT in the NFL and Russell Bodine as the worst center in the NFL.

Quote:This was a defining year for Cedric Ogbuehi, and the former first-round pick has failed to put up many positive reps on tape this season. Ogbuehi's lack of technique is only matched by his apathy, as no player gives up more often mid rep than him. I hate to make character assessments on film, but it just seems like there is no fight in him. It is rare to see a player get beat across his face as often as Ogbuehi does, as he lets defenders get right into his frame and completely dictate what is going to happen all the time.

Quote:Bodine looks like the model of a power-blocking center, but his technique hasn't caught up. He doesn't generate power when he latches onto defenders because he comes off the ball too high to get leverage, and he should never be pushed back as easily as he is. This is an example of play strength being totally negated by poor fundamentals. In addition, Bodine is probably the heaviest-footed center in the league, which means that he finds it very difficult to mirror and adjust on stunts and games, and defenders can shoot through his gaps to either side far too easily. This position has been an issue for the Bengals as long as he's been the starter.
