Now, I'll be the first to admit that it's tough to make any sort of fair assessment, by looking at about a dozen offensive plays.  The Dallas game will be live, on NFLN, which I subscribe to.  I'll be able to give a more informed opinion of not just Ogbuehi, but the OL as a unit, after watching a game in it's entirety.

With that said, I've been reading mixed reports on Ogbuehi's individual performance from Thursday night, on here.  Some are saying that he held up well in pass protection, but foundered in the running game, others just state that he still sucks.  From what few plays that I watched, the problem is much bigger than just the RT position.  Blocking at RG and TE on that side seemed non-existent, as well.

He flat out stone walled on some plays, other plays he looked loss just like about everyone else.  Og doesn't have the core strength for running plays.  It is not there.  Pass Pro, he is hot and cold but did better than last year.  Rushing,  not good but either was Hopkins.  

People have to realize that the O-Line is the chemistry between 5 players.  Bengals have a rookie cannon ball that has his head spinning from the play book and scanning field responsibilities, a RG that in my opinion played poorly.  RT in Hart did well considering.  They really need Westerman to be the player he should.
