There will be times the Bengals face a defense with a solid pass rush and an outstanding secondary. That’s the modern NFL. In cases like this, the Bengals need to be able to run the ball to move the chains. Zac Taylor needs to understand this is the AFC North, not the NFC West.
To answer the question about Frank Pollock and Billy Price we need to go back to 2018. Before finishing the season badly, the Bengals started out 4-1 with some quality offensive line play before Billy Price was injured.
Yeah thanks for the reminder on that. I think a lot of Price haters should take this into account. I had forgotten. All I know is Price didnt work out well under Turner at G, but when he played C last season I actually thought he looked better than Hopkins. He played a really good game, but PFF gave him a hilariously biased 18.6 pass blocking grade despite Burrow not even getting sacked that game. Gio averaged over 4ypc and so did Perine. Price was a big part of that. For all we know, Price under Pollack could be the Price we thought we were getting when drafting him. He could be the C we've been wanting. Is hard to tell because we were stuck with Turner for 2 years and he was terrible.
