On a side note Bell decleating Ju Ju is on my list of top 10 Bengals plays. I'd hate to say how many times I've watched that ?
I honestly think that was a big turning point for Zac Taylor's tenure.

Can't believe I forgot Trey! Also agree that Apple has been a pretty damn good value pick up.

Count me amongst them. He graded out better at G than C in NE, by a significant amount. And we were so interested in Jensen + Tretter was still out there.....

Here is pass block grades in true pass sets alone (courtesy of PFF data as always).
Does this match up more closely with the Eye Test? It's certainly lower on the Bears than other metrics. But it's also low on the Vaunted Lions Offensive Line... pic.twitter.com/O8v5G2vuUg
Ted Karras is on an incredible run and playing like one of the best centers in football.

Since Week 7, he’s been credited with 0 sacks, 0 QB hits, and 1 pressure. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/BmBngCoaGH
Great info. I know Jonah suffered through that dislocated kneecap and hurt his grade, but it is stunning to see the C & G's outperform the tackles. Though LC is a monster in the run game.

Was thinking the same thing. I never heard our FO our coaches or Karras say anything but "center". Random uninformed opinion pieces don't count as fact.
RE: Ted Karras - ezekiel23 - 12-14-2022
I’ll have to say that IMO Cappa has been playing at a high level recently as well.Karras was definitely a great FA pick.The interior of this line looks much better than it was last year.

nothing could get worse than Adeniji at RG

Yeah but we had the blocking brilliance of Trey Hopkins
Quinton Spain 
, and Isaiah Prince 
to cover his mistakes.Honestly, years from now, future generations will wonder how in the hell we came within a whisker of winning the Super Bowl with that collection.

Spain was good before the injury. Way better than Volson. It's not even an argument
and Hopkins was ok at pass blocking the more he recovered from his injury

I fully believe he was black balled
He's not blackballed, the man could not even practice once during the last year of his career. He has no knees left. Nobody is going to hire him to play center.
RE: Ted Karras - Soonerpeace - 12-14-2022
The OL next year could be really good. I don’t think today they are anything close to their ceiling. By the playoffs the run blocking will be nasty

I used to be good at a lot of things.
The best thing about last year's line is that 4/5 of it is gone.

Who thumbed down Nicomo's post of the greatness of Ted?
RE: Ted Karras - Go Cards - 12-15-2022
The Bengals have needed a great Center for so long and could not be any happier that Karras became a Bengal.

For the $1 million they paid Apple last year and the $3.5 they are paying him to be at least a top half of the league CB, he is a steal.
