Wouldn't the Bengals be better off with a 6th offensive lineman on those 45% of the offensive snaps Sample is out there for? Toss him a pass every other game and otherwise let him just roll over people with 300+ pounds. Trade Sample's 2/10 in passing game for a 1/10 and instead get the 8/10 in blocking vs Sample's 4/10.
I can definitely see the logic in your argument, but there are actually a lot of teams that have a guy like sample who plays about a third of the snaps and is used 90% of the time for blocking.
