The Bengals OL has the 2nd lowest pressure rate allowed in the NFL over the last 2 weeks.

The IOL has been the best trio in the NFL over that same time span also (PFF Pass pro grade, pressure rate).

Bam!!!

Cordell Volson starting to really blossom down the back stretch of his 2nd season.

Over the last 3 weeks, amongst 74 other guards, Volson ranks:

? t-1st - 0 Sacks Allowed
? t-4th - 1 Pressure Allowed
? 5th - 99.5% Pass Block Efficiency
? 13th - 78.5 PFF Pass Block Grade… pic.twitter.com/oSnqh4TeYT

It is now a pick your poison Offense that is for damn sure. I hope Minny does that, just watch our WR's go off if they do.

Yeah, Volson is more athletic than some give him credit for and Irv done something good for once. All those screen plays in the 
Colts game were set up and executed to perfection. How many yards did we pile up on just screens I wonder?

It is coming together. If we can win out we would be a very dangerous team in the Playoffs. What is crazy is that 3-1 might 
not even get us in. One game at a time.

On that play where speedster Chase Brown hit over 22mph, 315lb Cordell hit over 17mph

Crazy, I think we can put the lack of athleticism of Cordell to bed for now...

Vikings were given credit for 5 sacks

Line didn’t appear to play THAT bad on the eye test but it’s definitely something Pittsburg will be thinking about

At least one of them was 100% on Browning.

Did Ford give any up when he came in?

Zack has not yet learned that when you are constantly in shotgun more sacks happen. He started to abandon under center again today. Needs to learn from the last few weeks.

I've also heard more sacks occur on passing plays

I think he did the empty stuff as a tendency breaker

Also we have good plays from those sets and practiced them all year. Hes not gonna ditch them

Cordell Volson earned a team-high 85.5 PFF Pass Blocking Grade, allowing just 1 pressure and 0 sacks on 48 dropbacks.

Volson also posted a 69.5 Run Block Grade.

Simply put, he’s stacking weeks and playing great football. He’s been wonderful down the stretch for the Bengals. pic.twitter.com/9QHKnCHQnk

Over the last 4 games, Cordell Volson has allowed 0 sacks and just 2 pressures.

In that same timespan, Volson has the highest PFF grade amongst Bengals offensive lineman (77.2).

— Willie Lutz (@willie_lutz) December 17, 2023

A lot of the sacks were on Browning to be honest. He’s been great but he also is still inexperienced and things like taking too long on reads will still happen as he gains that experience of protracted play in live real games.

Interestingly, Cordell Volson has the highest PFF grade (71.0) of any Bengals offensive linemen since their Week 7 bye.

Further, Volson has only allowed 1 sack since the #Bengals bye.

Yet most of the gurus on this board proclaim he is the weakest link....

Yeah the pump fake and stand in there while the pocket is collapsing around him is a huge no-no Jake.
