You have to give the Bengals credit for either a good job scouting or a good job coaching with Boling.
You are Fred.
Taking one sentence out of my post and arguing for PA once again...
These guys are correct and you are wrong Fred.
Careful not getting your ass banned again...

I guess all NFL teams were right on Geno Atkins, and this Mixon dude must not be as good as hyped on here, huh.
Read those same reports years ago Wyche.
Fred's argument is flawed once again.Boling was polished in his technique coming out of college and could both pass and run block well.
PA needs this or his players suck like Livings, Gutcheck and Bodine. Same could be said of Ogbuehi so far who is pure athleticism.

You know it brother.

The point is, Boling was better than his draft position coming out of college indicates....so was Atkins....so is Dalvin Cook....so is Joe Mixon. Injury concerns, character concerns, physical concerns, and scheme fit concerns often drop players on draft day versus where the talent level actually is. Exhibit A.....I give you Vontaze Burfict.
Clint Boling was already a good and polished player when he got here, he wasn't magically coached to this level. The game has passed Alexander by, and he really shouldn't have been here to begin with, coming off of a staff that produced the second worst decade in all of professional sports history. Where's the accountability?
Spot on Wyche, major reps.
Don't tell me teams wouldn't of taken Atkins or Burfict in the top ten of the first round if they knew how good they would become.
Whitworth, Zeitler and Boling were polished when they got here, hence why they played well. PA needs this.
We need an O-line coach that can coach up his Lineman.
