If anything, the offensive lineman in Cincinnati have regressed through 2019. Their pass blocking is atrocious and their run blocking is nonexistent. Joe Mixon is a great running back, so when he is getting minimal yardage it’s not on him.
As for Billy Price, I’m still not sure what the issue is. He seems to have a lot of natural talent and he was well coached at Ohio State, so my only answer is that he is being coached down — not coached up.
The only player that has really improved tons is Hopkins. Agreed it is the coaching, we need a new O-line coach in the Offseason
once again. We also need a new DC. I think if we get competent coaches at these positions and add a Guard or Tackle in FA and
in the Draft and add some athletic tackling Linebackers and a new Secondary coach we will be monumentally better next year.
Price needs to learn to use his anchor more and get into Defender's chests. Right now his short arms are giving him trouble.
There are ways to still be a very good Guard even with short arms.
