Their pass rush is just as effective as the Ravens. Their pressure percentage is almost identical (Ravens 25.9%, Colts 25.0%), but they have opposite styles. Ravens have the second HIGHEST blitz percentage in the league (44.5) while the Colts have the second LOWEST (13.6).
To me it seems like the Bengals problems in pass protection have more to do with failure to pick up blitzes and stunts than just being overpowered. Over a third of our sacks allowed (7.5 of 22) have been by defensive backs. And opposing DBs also have 9 QBHits.
Hopefully we will hold up better against the Colts than the blitz crazy Ravens. But we even have problems picking up DL stunts like loops and twists.
We don't have a lot of talent on our O-line, but a lot of the problems have to do with coaching. If one player is screwing up you look at the player. whne the entire unit is screwing up you look at the coach.
I agree, that is exactly what I have seen. There is a communication issue and it is really screwing everything up. Something needs to get figured out in order to give this offense a chance.
