Ced - 79.3
After a rough start to the season, Ogbuehi has settled his pass protection issues in the last three outings in pass protection. After surrendering 14 pressures in his first three games, Ogbuehi has surrendered only two in his last three starts, giving up only one hit this week. After a rough first season as a starter last season the Bengals’ 2015 first-round pick is playing the best football of his short career right now and the Bengals will hope he builds on that.

Fisher - 78.4

Now comes the time when we disagree with PFF's ratings.

Yeah I mean grades in the 70's are Average...but it seemed they all played much worse.

Number 70 got zero push in run blocking. He was constantly 3 yards in the backfield. I guess not giving up a sack is an improvement but give me a break. And is this the same fisher who just let Dupree run right past him??? Lol

If you actually watched that game and think the o line played good you need your head examined.

Lol good 1.

We have a terrible run blocking line. Terrible.

Part of the passing issues were compounded by guys not getting open. The line was bad pass blocking...but when guys don't get open...that makes it worse.

Isn't the elephant in the room, still, the open door right in the middle of the line? And isn't Jeffro the guy who makes the line calls?

I thought tackles played good against Steelers. The interior line was pathetic including everyones hero Boling. Sad to say he has been garbage all season as he was last season. Oh we will hear the excuse the center was poor too worried about tackle play, Face it Boling might have been ok 2 years ago he flat out sucks now.

Well we only call short quick passes so yeah I could see that.

I am actually optimistic about the development of our bookends. OTs usually struggle their first year as starters regardless of draft status. Hopefully the trend continues and we can focus on the interior. 

Boling was terrible yesterday; as was Hopkins and Bodine, Fortunately Interior olinemen do not come at the premium that OTs do.

I really like the big OG from ND (Nelson). My hope if Ced and Jake get it together and we can pick up an interior Olineman or 2.   

Fisher looked worse than Og. That said....as bad as Blodine played, it's hard to evaluate the tackles....hard for your man to have any success against you when the middle of the defense is practically taking handoffs.

By the time we fix the offensive line...Atkins or Dunlap will leave in free agency. The rebuild is here.

They are so good they have a 3rd tackle rotating with them.

It's not unlike our offense and defense.

One might show up, but then the other is AWOL, so our team as a whole sucks.

Our OTs might have shown up yesterday, but our line as a whole sucked.

Did not witness anything good from OL yesterday.

Seen promise elsewhere, but not there.

Thought they looked decent early and then collapsed at the end. Saw Watt beat Og at least once. No push on the run game. Pittsburghs offensive line was obviously far superior. If you'd never seen a single game before, you'd be able to discern that

The one play late, TJ Watt beat the LT inside and dove at Andy's knees...not a lot the Center could do there, but it looked pretty bad at the center of the line all game.  

I put a lot of that on the coaches, as they stopped (what was working) running the ball with Mixon and the steelers would just tee off after Dalton.  Stop me if you have seen this movie before.

The flat nature of our players from the first snap.  The horrible play calling.  The horrible effort overall.  Marv lost me a long time ago but anyone that doesn't see how badly he has lost his team is blind.

I’m sure his giving up fewer pressures isn’t at all related to less playing time.

Ironically now will be the time you agree with them.

Or, you could have just missed the blatant holding that happens every game.
