The answer to the first question is obvious: The offensive linemen couldn’t sustain their blocks long enough for deep plays to develop. The answer to the second question is the offensive line got owned in the Red Zone.
The Bengals haven’t had a decent defensive line since Mike Zimmer was here. I always loved how he rotated players in and out of the defensive line during the entire game so in the fourth quarter they were just as fresh as they were when the game started.
Yes sir and it played out in our opener Sunday. If we have better play in the trenches we will win a lot of games as it helps
out the coaching. Have always said that even Bill Belichick wouldn't win near as many games with terrible play in the trenches.
It completely sabotages play calling and the coaching. Getting Pollack and Hobby while adding the players we did should do
wonders.
