Whitworth was an exception not the rule. He's a freak. And his technique with his feet was damn near flawless. He'd hit his landmarks in his sleep. 
He get wide but he'd also work his hands in. Ced does not have the benefit having the strength of Whitworth. 

What specifically looks better though? The only difference is what he's being asked to do...which is limiting what we see from the offense. 


You can look at his college tape and see the same issues in his hands, passiveness and sets. 
You see it in his tape as a pro. 
You see it now. 

That is why it matters. 
It's preseason, so results don't matter. But technique still does. Him giving up 0 sacks doesn't matter when you realize the lengths they took to make things so. 

Overall, i think you're being rough based on expecting him to get to a certain level with his technique. What if he's just not capable of doing that? What if he is always going to be what he is now?

I'd say you're looking at it strictly from the perspective of how a room full of coaches would critique him if they were sitting in a film room. That's fine with me. As i said, i like having to look at/for things i might not have otherwise looked for. 

For the Bengals though, on the field, if his guy doesn't hit the QB or make the tackle, i claim that as a win as a football and Bengals fan. If he's never the technician that other really good T's are, but he keeps his guy off the Bengal with the ball, i'm happy with it. 

I can pull up any game (and have) from last year that he started in and see him flailing all over the place. I wondered all along if he had a bad shoulder because he simply wouldn't use his arms and hands to fight guys off. He'd lean into them and try to control them that way and it didn't work. When i watched the game Friday night, from an instant reaction and watching it over again, i still felt trepidation because he was doing better but you could still see the indecisiveness on double moves and you could still see guys running around him a couple times. 

BUT...let's talk about your big but, Simone...my overall gut reaction was that he's getting better at his job. And i REALLY trust my gut. 

For my own satisfaction, i hope you keep posting. I may not have agreed with it all but i appreciate the work that was put into it and there's plenty to digest and discuss.
