All linemen need power (strength) and burst to be successful. i did not see a burst from our OL getting off the ball on run plays and saw our OL get bull rushed at times. Our DL had no one who commanded double teams other than Trey. DT's did not need to be double teamed a lot (Hill at times) because other team's OL handled them allowing those teams to use OL to attack our second level.
I know we have some experts or more versed posters like Sunset, I am no expert. i know our OL and DL coach were fired. To me, they were fired for technique and scheme issues.
My question is why did the 3 strength coaches who have a state-of-the-art workout room get a pass? Should they share some accountability?

I know it is also on the players. It is good to see Orlando Brown stay in Cincinnati as his fractures in his leg heal and work on strength and conditioning.
I've been complaining for years that Bengals players don't look to be as physically strong as a lot of the opponents they play, with the exception of a play here or a play there...
