Ogbuiehe is essentially a rookie, he's going to have his ups and downs. (for what it matters, he looked better yesterday than against NY) Zeitler will show his better form. The asswipe on the OL is and will continue to be Bodine. (sure, he had a good seal block on a play or two, but he still sucks in general) Until the coaching staff puts an emphasis on the running game, the run game blocking will continue to suck.
Is that enough sucks for the OL in one thread?
Why is it the team that invented the no-huddle can't run the ball for 2 yards, set up and snap the ball right the heck now and run it again? That was the hallmark of the 88 team. They averaged over 5 yards a carry. The Bengals offense is forever milling around at the line of scrimmage, Dalton is waiting on a play, then they go through three shifts, a motion and finally they snap the ball almost always to pass it.
Of course, nothing about Marvin's demeanor or physical make up makes me think of perpetual motion.
