I wouldn't consider that the pass blocking line. The less time the line is having to pass block the better they should be. It's like a defensive backfield is probably going to be better if the d-line is making the QB get rid of the football faster.

I am not sure how anyone would consider any poster stating not but once but twice how good our OL has been, but with a potential issue unresolved (line holding up on 5 or 7 step drops) nitpicking. If we run constant plays calling for mostly 3 steps drops, then maybe we do it because the OC has concerns with the line holding up on 5 and 7 step drops.
If so, that is not nitpicking, it is a potential problem being hidden by play calling.
But as I stated, we don't do very many 5 and 7 steps drops for me to determine if it is an issue or not. Thus, why I used the word potential.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
