Thanks, good catch.

I've very rarely, if ever, seen an offensive lineman step forward on a pass blocking rep (outside of aggressive play action roll outs maybe), at least not as far as I can remember.

I have no problem with a blocking strategy that creates a pocket via "retreating". Our big problem is the guys are not "catching" the defender after they retreat. They just let them whip past them.

This. Apparently the majority of Bengal Olinemen lack the strength needed to retreat 2-3 steps, catch and that's as far as they go. Thus, protecting the QB.

They all seem to just keep getting pushed into the QBs lap.

Not telling y'all anything you can't already see...

When everyone says Sewell is cant miss...what if he doesnt fit in a passive scheme.
