I agree with what you are saying here but I think he is considered our best lineman because of consistency and overall rating which is inflated by his pass blocking grades. Very good pass blocker no doubt about it. Just not a very physical blocker in the running game which is what I believe this regime is looking for.

I know many talk about how great some of the lines have been in front of Andy Dalton over his years here and I would have to argue that with them. We have had some outstanding pass protecting lines no doubt about it. What we have not EVER had since Dalton has been here is a dominant run blocking line. Can you imagine the damage a guy like Joe Mixon would be able to do with a dominant run blocking line? Just think of a dominant run blocking line and Joe Mixon and what that would open up in the play action passing game when you have guys like Green, Boyd, and Eifert in the formation.
