No fan knows more about OL play in pro football than his professional coach who teaches them the technique to use which changes depending on the play call so not as generic as you want to make it out to be. One size does not fit all in the case. You make some valid points, but many points you made were on assumption. not facts.
But for poops and giggles.
Blocking technique is largely universal. Has been forever. Low hands that shoot wide on a defender are bad. Always have been.
Not getting deep enough into your sets is bad. Always has been. Allowing a defender into your chest is bad. Always has been.
Opening the hips and giving the defender the edge is bad. Always has been.
These are not "you don't know the scheme!" issues. These are core problems no matter the scheme.
If Boling loses a rep or two no one freaks out because he's shown he's not a problem and he's a very high quality player. It's preseason and he's a vet who probably shouldn't have had to do as much as he did. He's also back at full strength since his shoulder injury.
This is an unbiased view. This is a critical analysis of his play. Biased would be randomly stating that others don't know what they are talking about without evidence to counter their post because it disagrees with your personal views.
I've done this for almost all Bengals OL over the years with just as much critique. But when you do it for Whitworth, Zeitler, Boling for 5 years, there's just a hell of a lot less negative to talk about.
As for quick throws, a guy named Tom Brady has won multiple Super Bowls leading the league in average release time. Is it because of bad OL play or because of designed scheme that BB does it year after year?
