Again, you are throwing a lot of terminologies out but in misplaced or misused examples. I am trying to figure out what you think the Bengals are actually doing that is unique because the only thing I see if them executing poorly. Bad communication, poor anchor, bad hand placement are major issues right now...there is nothing special or different about their blocking scheme that I can see. Admittedly I am more of a QB/WR/Secondary guy.

I chose the terms that they use in this article for sake of simplicity.  No matter the specific scheme, the three types of pass blocking sets are pretty much universal.

I don't think that we are too far off in opinion, just how we present it.  For example you say "lack of execution" or "poor hand placement", where I might say they aren't firing out to sell the play action.  And I agree, the specific scheme being used may not be the problem as much as the coach not getting the players to understand, communicate and execute the plan.

On the difference between Zone and Man?  I'm a firm believer that until an OL unit can adequately execute the fundamentals of Man directional blocking, perform simple traps and sweeps, they really have no business trying to mess around with "guessing" which man is their man in a Zone situation.
