This brings me to another subject with the offensive line.  (Stay with me).  I think I have seen ONE holding penalty on the Bengals all year.  In the Minnesota game, the refs called three holds in the first quarter (I think) on the Vikes.  Then, as though the Vikes used up their allocation on holding penalties, they stopped calling it.  

There were holds down the stretch of that game that were egregious as hell not called.  

I honestly wonder if the Bengals shouldn't be coached to hold more than they are.  At least grab more, but try and keep in on the shoulder pads.  Every other team seems to be getting away with it.  I know Brady's guys are allowed to hold to protect Mr. Goat, and maybe Burrow hasn't earned that, but I see Cleveland's guys doing all kind of holds and not being flagged.  The league wants points, not penalties.  I think the Bengals need to be more aggressive with their holds, but let go before it becomes egregious (which, as I stated, STILL isn't called often....).
