You can follow the link to read about their methodology. Here are the results for the bengals.
Pass protection....15th
Run blocking is more complex. They admit it is hard to separate the RB from the O-line, but here are the results
Power success rate (3rd or 4th down with 2 yards or less to go)...14th
Stuff percentage (zero or negative gain)....3rd best. This one surprised me. It seemed like our RBs were getting tackled at the LOS a lot, but in reality it happen less often to us than most other teams in the league.
Adjusted Line Yards...#1 in the league...Open field yards.....next to last (31st) in the league. So what the hell do these numbers mean? A team with a high ranking in Adjusted Line Yards but a low ranking in Open Field Yards is heavily dependent on its offensive line to make the running game work. A team with a low ranking in Adjusted Line Yards but a high ranking in Open Field Yards is heavily dependent on its running back breaking long runs to make the running game work.
