Getting the best five linemen on the field allows a variety of blocking types, run or pass, to be used throughout a game. I have no idea what the new Bengals’ blocking will look like but I expect at least a small amount of Ram infusion! If that’s the case those guys will have to gel as an ensemble quickly because what I saw the Los Angeles offensive line do in 2018 was rather difficult. I can’t imagine how such a difficult scheme could be coached but somehow the players excelled at it.
In fact, the 2018 Rams’ offensive line reminded me of something I’ve seen before albeit only on YouTube because I’m not that old: The old Cleveland offensive line under Paul Brown.
I'm guessing it will be an outside zone scheme in terms of running that will set up play action similar to what the Rams run. That let's Mixon work in a one cut system while Dalton get the benefit of everything looking similar off PA sucking defenders down.
