Dominating victory

I believe that Whit, Boling and Zeitler are those type of personalities.  Let's face the fact that Whit is aging, and his body just can't do what it used to, the entire game.  Boling is fantastic, I have zero issues with him or his play.  Zeitler is a run first type of blocker, his problem is that he's sandwiched between a first year Tackle and a very sketchy Center.  Ogbuehi, I have faith in.  He looks to be getting a little better every game.  He likely benefitted immensely from facing the Jets/Steelers/Broncos to open the season.  We all know that nothing works better than getting your butt kicked a few times, to teach a man to put on his big boy pants, and get out there and fight.

  Bodine is the one that simply does not fit the mold.  He simply seems unable to blow a man off the ball, gets ran over in pass pro.  At least someone is getting into his head, as I noticed this last game that he wasn't giving up on as many plays after getting initially beat.  Fisher scares me, as well.  He's obviously no where near ready to play any significant time at Tackle, and he looked like a boy among men, when filling in for Boling at LG.  If I were in charge, I would seriously consider trading Fisher, and drafting another LT prospect in the next draft.

Everyone needs to watch Zeitler more closely, he is whiffing at times and not blowing anyone off the ball as well as making mental mistakes all the time (penalties). He needs to call MB and sign a c long term contract so he can focus on football. He is much better than he is playing right now. As for the argument Zeitler and Boling are covering fro Bodine, again a fallacy as I rarely see a guard help Bodine and double team.

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.
