As predicted, it would take time for this group to come together. Things are looking bright for the future (especially 2022).

Anyone have stats what ranking the last 10 super bowl winners had in offense & defense?

There are many metrics to use here but I will use Yards Per Play for both.

Bucs - 7th on Offense, 6th on defense

Chiefs - 2nd on Offense, 16th on defense

Patriots - 8th on offense, 22nd on defense

Eagles - 9th on offense, 9th on defense

Patriots - 5th on offense, 10th on defense

Broncos - 18th on offense, 1st on defense

Patriots - 12th on offense, 12th on defense

Seahawks - 9th on offense, 1st on defense

Ravens - 16th on offense, 12th on defense

Giants - 11th on offense, 25th on defense

What a great site, I've never heard of it before. Thanks for posting sir. 

Extend Spain

Extend Reiff

And maybe most importantly of all - extend Pollack

Those should all be reasonable. The big question is: Jonah's available to be offered a big contract this off season. Now we can kick it down the road until after his 4th year and pick up the 5th year option, but that may not sit well.

It’s all based on demands. This being his first healthy year I am looking at a longer term team friendly deal. If he is okay with that then I say extend him. As for Spain and Reiff, Spain is a no brained but Reiff I would keep it a one year deal and he may rather test FA first.

Agreed, and I would add that Adeniji has played very well, since coming back from injury.  We also don't know what the future has in store for Carman, when healthy he looked like he was developing well.  Perhaps the team views him as a potential RT, since Adeniji seems to be finding a home at RG?

That site has the Bengals offensive line 9th best in pressure rate allowed. Pretty cool site.

The fact that the OL is inside the top 10 in pressures allowed does not make it a "cool site", as they are simply reporting the numbers as they stand.  What is pretty cool is how the team recognized the weakness, and brought back a capable OL coach to get them on an improvement plan.

And yes, it felt so damn good to watch Joe Mixon running that ball, seemingly at will, versus the much hated rival Steelers.

It sure is getting a lot better as the season goes on. Hope it continues and with Adeniji being young, same with Carman
it should get better the more chemistry these guys gain. Also, what Nicomo said are the musts for this team going forward.

Well no kidding. The first sentence and the second sentence are unrelated.

It’s current. It’s from Ben Baldwin Twitter.

We still need to get better in pass protection but the last 2 weeks the run blocking should of really went up in ranking.

Fun how that graphic is directly at odds with what this site suggests, not just in pass protection but overall. This new oline site seems to hate the Bengals in the run game (bad in yards per carry before contact and terrible in TFL allowed), but the ESPN/PFF regression is okay with the line in the running game.

Just on an intuitive level, I feel like what I have seen on the field from week 1 through now is more in alignment with the new site than either PFF or ESPN. But who knows.

I have no idea how the Steelers OL is graded higher than the Bengals then. That seems downright silly. They’re awful.

Depends on who they go against...

and D'Ante Smith, the rookie who was having a great camp and competing for a role. Maybe the Bengals found out how to draft olineman again.  Oh and Jonah
