Okay is everyone done crying and moaning?

Cordy Glenn and Billy Price were supposed to come in and fix the Bengals’ reeling offensive line this season, but both came in and fell victim to what might be a cursed unit. Glenn had the lowest-graded season of his career at 60.9 overall, and he gave up a career-high 36 pressures. Price didn’t fare any better with a 49.4 overall grade in a season marred with injury.

Mixon's ypc went from 3.5 to 4.9 last year.  He's a great back, but his average actually proves that the run blocking improved last year.  You also have to factor in that teams keyed in him after Dalton, Green, etc went down.


The Bengals allowed the 12th fewest Sacks last year and were tied for the 6th fewest QB Hits allowed.  They were also 8th in ypc.  I don't really see how an OL that was in the Top 12 in every official measurable statistic can be rated 27th.

BTW, you claim Mixon's output was all about his "individual greatness", but he only had a good 77.8 PFF grade last year.
