Be Prepared to Barf over Bodine

Bodine was only a 4th rounder and the success rate for all O-lineman taken in the fourth round is pretty low.  If every O-line coach who failed to turn a fourth round pick into a starter was fired how many O-line coaches would still have a job.

For years Paul was forced to get by on scraps.  In one 12 year stretch ('97-'08) the Bengals only use 3 picks in the first 2 rounds on O-line, and 2 more in the third round.  And over the past decade the Bengals have been one of the very best pass protection teams in the league.

What about running the football?
