It is ridiculous that he remains our starting center and it is even more ridiculous that Alexander has not even attempted to find competition for Bodine. If people wonder why Andy does not handle pressure well, having your center thrown back in your face during the majority of your career on most plays does not breed confidence in a QB.
Marv and Alexander are responsible for the drafting of Bodine, Og and Fisher. They should be held accountable for the complete mess that exists on one of the worst o lines in the league. Having cut 4 or 5 draft picks this year, it is mind boggling that Bengals repeatedly refuse to draft anyone to compete with Bodine or use a higher pick in 2017 to draft a quality tackle or guard. Beyond unbelievable.
we give duke turbin a lot of credit for the talent on the roster.. He needs some of the blame too lol...
They drafted a lineman this year but Hopkins beat him off the roster. (now hes back on the PS Dielman that is)
Our OL really hasn't been anything better than average since 2005 other than maybe 2015 (but we did a ton of gimmick plays as well). Whit and boiling held the left down well enough in the past but the right other that the 1 year andre played at a high level (contract year of course) it was always a mess since big willie left.
Hue and Gruden did a good job of masking that weakness with their playcalling and fast quick plays. imo.
