I see it all the time with Drew Brees. He's had a pretty solid interior OL that he's been able to step up in the pocket consistently when pressure gets by the edge defenders and he's able to make a play.

That's actually why it's called a "pocket" anyway. Because the OL makes an inverted U around the QB. When the edges collapse, there should be room to move up assuming the interior OL does its job to keep interior defenders at bay.

The best way to describe the Bengals OL this year might be...

I never said they were perfect. I watched Zeitler get beat last night and had 2 holding penalties so I guess the Browns should cut him. My point is those of you attacking Vince Tobin, PA or ML may just be wrong on Bodine, but your egos won't allow you to consider it. As I stated, the Bengals have a small investment in Bodine so not like he got a huge bonus and the team wants him to earn it. Why exactly doesn't Tobin bring in a high level center? You t hink these coaches and Tobin are morons or just don't want to win. Why else would they diasgree with Bengals fans? Help me out as I don't see the reasoning why these guys share your opinion Bodine sucks, but do nothing about it.
