If you have ever watched a Stanford offensive line, their guys will dive almost at the defender's thighs to undercut and take away their leverage (in short yardage).
This is getting a little too deep of analysis for many, so I apologize, but I think one of the biggest problems with the offensive line is lack of drive blocking at any other point in the game. It is almost always slide protections. Let these guys get in to the game by firing off the ball on 2nd and 5 more often and they might actually become more adept in short yardage.
Someone with more time than I have could analyze the blocking scheme through an entire game and the Bengals run blocking schemes are almost always slides. Doesn't motivate your lineman and allows for too many mistakes, IMHO.
Agree totally.
