I find the analysis interesting on some of the OL listed by Prisco as being best options (top 100 available). A lot seem to be great run blockers, but have some issues in pass protection. I think that is the quandary, hard to find interior OL and RT that excel in both areas.
I think we need guys great in pass protection over run blocking if we can't sign a guy great in both. Does anyone have a change of opinion of who they want Bengals to go after after reading the in depth analysis of Prisco on the OL group?
Thoughts?
That's the typical OL - good in run or pass, not both.
Those guys are very rare.
You could argue either way:
If the Bengals can really boost the run game, that should more running, thus less passing snaps for Burrow to get sacked.
On the other hand, the Bengals are better at passing, so strengthening the pass blocking should just allow better protection for Burrow when he does pass.
I'd assume they'd choose pass protection over run blocking given the team is more pass-oriented, but maybe they want to really push the run given the success they did have while having a bad run blocking OL this past year.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
