Which indicates our coaching staff did not correctly identify the problem.

the bengals run scheme is outdated. But they switched to it because the o-line was so unathletic. 

but the main problem with that whole situation is Pollack and Zac Taylor come from zone blocking schemes. The o-line personnel is literally a giant misfit to the coaches specialty. 

So the front office coulvde gotten good zone guys, which require a bit more money. But they opted for guys who are ok, but come at a discount because of their lack of athleticism. So either blame the front office for not giving the zone guys proper zone personnel, or blame pollack and taylor for not adapting. 

I personally blame the FO. It's like hiring Marty Schottenheimer, and then giving him a team that is incapable of running the ball to eat clock. It's a poor fit
