I don't see the point in spending a high draft pick for the interior. They certainly don't value it that much when it comes time to actually pay them when they're due for it, so why draft them that high? Just roll the dice on finding some later round personal (ala Bodine) that you can find to just be serviceable.

I will say this.

Ogbuehi has gone from 5 killer pass blocks a game, to 1, maybe 2, plus with 'dre helping out, I think there might be a light turning on at some point; he is NOT the same guy from the first 2 weeks.

Fisher though, again, while showing more tenacity and nastiness, doesn't seem to be doing anything positive (ESPECIALLY yesterday), thus a high pick on a T (say, Mcglinchey, if he's there) would be fine in my eyes and turn Fisher back into the swingman he's been the last few years.

Also would like to mention about yesterday; there were a good 7 or 8 plays where there was a FREE rusher; that is not down to oline play at all, that's due to bad scheming/play calls. Archuleta even brought it up, that they kept sending RBs on routes, instead of keeping them in to pass block.

I agree that Interior Olinemen are not as much of a premium as exterior Olinemen and could be had in later rounds. I'd rather be able to use our 1st rounder on BPA such as the DT from BAMA and address interior oline later in the draft or FA.

They send RB's on pass routes because Green is the only guy who can get open.

Pick your poison.

I cannot argue this; although I'd just as soon see us put Big Dre at RT fulltime and experiment with Fuller inside; especially if Hopkins misses any time.

It's not better. the IOL is just getting worse actually. 

This is unfortunately true.

Evert time he opens his mouth, he reinforces what a clueless, bumbling fool he is.  One man is wrecking an entire franchise, yet his job security is never in doubt.

Stubbornness trumping winning.  Only in Bengal land.

Here are there PFF Grades for the season:

Ced 42.8
Fisher 44.1
Andre Smith 48.1
Clint Boling 72.3 or Average
Trey Hopkins 39.4
Russell Bodine 44.8
TJ Johnson 44.3

Hopkins is actually our worst offensive lineman.

Bodine actually grades out better than Ced and Fisher by a small amount. They are all epically terrible.

Our best offensive lineman Boline grades out at the lower end of Average.

Even in the 90's, the Bengals could run the ball, just to put a perspective to the shit show.

I would call in sick next week if I were Dalton

Is Jim McNally still here as a consultant? If so, why are they not listening to him? His teams could always run the ball, no matter how bad the offense might have been. Did we bring him in and then ignore him? Or is he no longer here?

Does this include game yesterday?

Either way, this sucks and why everyone should praise AD for getting anything done.

It's nothing new really. Teams are just remembering that you can get to the QB right up the middle since the Bengals managed to mitigate some OT issues by scheme. 
Failing to pick up stunts and twists involving the center have been a major issue since 2014.

I'm a fan of this strategy, especially if Hopkins has to miss time again due to injury. And put TJ Johnson at C over Blowdine.

Hmm, just so happens to be the same year Bodine was drafted...interesting...

Yup.....if only there wasn't this "witch hunt" going on over #61.

Hopkins is by far our worst offensive lineman. He's worse than Bodine.

1. Stop living or dying by PFF on OL stuff. 

2. No he isn't. 

3. Bodine has single handedly killed this run game for four years. He's the worst and deserves that label. No bad handful of games should change that.
